At the time of writing, Britain is enjoying exceptionally warm weather. So today, we thought we’d explore a few of the reasons why a conservatory will make such an excellent accompaniment to your property in the summer.

1. Entertain outdoors without fear of being rained off

Whilst we’ve been experiencing a protracted spell of high temperatures, there’s no getting around the fact that British weather is somewhat fickle. Hot weather can bring with it thunderstorms and downpours, and you certainly don’t want to be caught short whilst socialising in the great outdoors with friends. If the heavens decide to open, your new conservatory will make an excellent location in which to move the al fresco party. With conservatories’ large panes of glass and abundance of natural light, you’ll retain that outdoor feeling whilst ensuring your guests don’t get soaked.

2. Retire from the midday sun

If you’re someone who needs to be careful in the sun (and many of us Brits are) then seeking shade during the warmer parts of the day is a smart decision. However, that’s not to say you have to lock yourself away indoors. With a conservatory, you’ll enjoy garden views from a convenient vantage point without needing to worry that your skin will burn.

3. Let in more light

With longer summer days, a conservatory will maximise the amount of natural light in your home. Increased vitamin D from the sun will aid your health, and your home will look more spacious and better than ever.

4. Enjoy a better quality of living with increased space

When it’s hot and humid, it can feel as if our home’s walls are closing in on us. What once felt like open plan, spacious living suddenly feels restrictive and uncomfortable. By increasing the interior square footage of your home, you’ll be able to spread out, cool off, and thoroughly chill out.

5. Reduce your electric bill

If you’ve yet to invest in a glazing upgrade, you may find your home warms up considerably in the summer. This could be due to low performing windows and doors allowing cool air to escape and letting warm air in. Modern conservatories, however, are inherently energy efficient. This means you’ll have less need to crank up those fans and air conditioners, and will spend less on your utility bills as a result.
