Adding on a Conservatory

The latest fad in home décor, at least one of them, seems to be adding on a conservatory. It's a great idea in many ways, especially for growing families or people who need more room. They can also be helpful to double as a study or a leisure room. One problem with conservatories is that they are hard to keep cool in summer, and they can be a big heat sink in winter as well, due to all of their windows.

If you want to use your conservatory all year round (not just in Autumn and Spring) then you need to figure out the best ways to insulate, or heat and cool your conservatory without it necessarily costing you an arm and leg to do so. Air conditioning is great in summer, if you can afford not only to install it but also to have it running all summer long. Heating can also be a real nightmare during winter, and you can end up spending a lot of extra money during winter through the extra heating.

One of the best things you can do is to install decent conservatory blinds in your conservatory, so that you can conserve energy.
