Conservatory Climate Control

Conservatory climate control

There was a time when conservatories were unbearably hot in the summer and freezing cold in the winter – the effect of which was that they were sadly underused for several months of the year.

Now, thanks to a combination of advances in technology and smart materials such as glass that minimises solar heat gain, your Swish conservatory can be a comfortable and accessible living space in any weather, season after season, all year round.

A Swish conservatory's climate control system really comes into play during the summer months, when an overheated space will not only be uncomfortable for you, but potentially lethal for any plant life that shares your conservatory. This particularly applies to south-facing conservatories, which get the sun all day long.

Getting the right ventilation

The key to keeping cool in the summer lies in the conservatory's ventilation system, which is crucial if you want to maintain a comfortable environment. Established building regulations now impose minimum ventilation requirements on new conservatories, and give plenty of advice on ventilating existing rooms adjacent to conservatories.

At Swish, we've got it all covered and our installer can offer a range of ventilation solutions to suit your home.

Keeping you cool in the summer

Roof vents are a highly versatile solution to ventilating your conservatory, a wide selection of manual, remote and automatic opening mechanisms are available, as well as a comprehensive range of glazing options.

Other options for keeping your Swish conservatory climate controlled include simple-to-use integral blinds – crucial for providing cool shade – and a wide variety of glazing choices that minimise the transference of heat.

The best options for your conservatory will depend on its size and location. Your local Swish authorised installer will be able to give you all the advice you need on keeping your conservatory blissfully cool in the summer and cosy in the winter.
