Cold or Damp Conservatory Here’s How to Stop It

The benefits of owning a conservatory are somewhat endless; it connects your home to the garden, gives you extra space in the house and creates an interior ambience. However, conservatories do have a tendency to become cold or damp when not maintained properly. Fortunately, there are many ways for you to solve any conservatory issues.

Rather than just buying a dehumidifier or chucking on an extra blanket, see the following tips on how you can help to combat this to ensure that your conservatory is cosy and warm for 2022.

Ventilation

Usually, damp is an issue that is usually associated with brick walls and traditional walls. However, damp can take on different forms and depending on what conservatory you own, you may have some form of damp living in your conservatory. One way to help combat this damp is by limiting the amount of condensation being created in your conservatory. For instance, if you can see that there is condensation building up in your conservatory, open the doors to push the moist warm air out. As a result, this will prevent any damp creeping into your conservatory.

Limit Any Draughts

Reducing any draughts in your conservatory ensures that the conservatory is maintaining a comfortable temperature. To minimise the risk of any draughts, having windows and doors with proper draught proofing will ensure that your conservatory keeps warm. It is also important that any glass conservatories are fitted by professionals so that heat cannot be lost through any bad joints or seals. At Grassmoor Glass, we have over thirty-five years experience of dealing with conservatories so can ensure you are in safe hands.

Insulate the Roof

If you have an older conservatory, this may mean that you have a roof made of polycarbonate. Unfortunately, this type of roof provides very little when it comes to insulating the conservatory. As a result, this can mean that this type of roof is a contributing factor to the temperature of your conservatory. Fortunately, at Grassmoor Glass we have the ability to revitalise your conservatory with our modern roof system. We are able to offer LEKA Warm Roofs which possess the thermal qualities to keep your conservatory warm even in the coldest time of the year. This means that your glass conservatory can once again become your favourite room in the house.
