Converting Your Conservatory

 

When most people think of a conservatory, they picture a large, white Victorian structure with glass windows full of old boxes gathering dust, or an old sofa! Conservatories can however come in all shapes and sizes and can be adapted to suit a variety of needs when turned into stunning, practical living spaces through conversions.

For example, a small lean-to conservatory can easily be converted into a cosy reading nook or if you have a bit more space to work with, you could turn your conservatory into a sunroom, winter garden or open-plan kitchen diner.

There is no denying that a conservatory is a great way to add extra living space to your home, but due to its typical construction, many people find that their conservatory is too hot in the summer and too cold in the winter. As a result, they don’t get much use out of it.

If this sounds familiar, then you might be thinking about converting your conservatory and will need to consider the following key points:

• One of the main issues with conservatories is that they can be quite hot in the summer and cold in the winter. By adding insulation to the walls and ceiling, including double glazing, you can try to keep the temperature comfortable all year round.
• Installing shutters or blinds to block out the sun when it’s too hot, or let in the warmth when it’s cold outside is a great way to try and regulate the temperature.
• Another important aspect to think about is the flooring. You need to make sure that the flooring is suitable for the space and that it can withstand any potential water and dirt damage that gets brought in from outside if you are using the room as a thoroughfare to the garden.
• By using furniture and decor that can be easily moved around, you can make the most of the space. For example, try using folding chairs and tables so that you can put them away when you’re not using them, which means you can then use the room for several purposes.
• Invest in heating and cooling units that can be controlled remotely, so you can always have the perfect temperature.

With a little bit of effort, you can transform your conservatory into a room that you’ll want to spend time in.

What Is A Roof System?

A roof system is a long-lasting and durable roof that will create an insulated space that allows for natural light to flood in, whilst having the benefit of regulating temperature. This means that when installing a conservatory roof system, you can say goodbye to walking into a greenhouse in the summer and shivering in the winter. This means you can turn your conservatory into a room that can finally be used all year round whilst creating an attractive look from the outside too.

Conservatory roof systems can be used to replace the roofs on existing poorly insulated conservatories or chosen as the preferred option when building a new conservatory from the ground up instead of the usual expanse of glass or heavy-duty plastic. They come in a range of styles and can include a lantern to create an orangery and blend seamlessly into your home’s exterior build.

Pure Conservatories specialise in installing solid roof conservatories and orangeries and the team uses a system called “Leka” to build brilliant rooms quickly and simply, that can be used all year round.

What Roofing Options Are There?

The roof is one of the most important parts of a conservatory conversion. to consider. It controls the heat, and light and plays a large role in the overall look of the room too.

When it comes to roofing, there are many different options available on the market. However, not all roofing materials are created equal. Some are more durable than others, and some are better suited for specific climates. Leka comes in a variety of options to suit all conditions.

Benefits of Conservatory Conversions

A conservatory is a room that originated in the 16th century as an extension of an aristocratic home, where plants could be taken in for the winter months. However, conservatories can serve many purposes beyond just plant care and have come a long way since then! Here are a few of the benefits of using a conservatory as an additional usable room in your home:

• One of the main benefits of a conservatory is that it allows you to bring the outdoors indoors. Whether you want to grow plants or just enjoy the natural light and fresh air, a conservatory is perfect for that.
• Conservatories can be used as an extra living space. They are often connected to the kitchen or living room, making them ideal for entertaining guests or spending time with family.
• Well-made and maintained conservatories can add value to your home. If you ever decide to sell, a well-designed conservatory can be a selling point for potential buyers.

As you can see, there are several benefits of using a conservatory. Whether you want to grow plants, entertain guests, or add value to your home, a conservatory conversion is a great choice.

Decorating Your Converted Conservatory

Before converting your conservatory, you need to think about what purpose the space will serve. Are you looking for extra living space? A home office? A playroom for the kids? Once you know how you want to use the space, have sorted the proper insulation and flooring, you can start planning the conversion and how you will decorate and furnish your new space.

• Consider soft furnishings for the windows like curtains or blinds
• Decorating the room in colours and textures to suit your personality or the function of the room will make you want to use it over and over again
• Consider if you need seating or table space
• Look into multi-purpose furniture if you have a smaller space so it can double up and meet a variety of needs
• Choose furniture that is comfortable, inviting, will stand the test of time and makes you want to use the space
• The finishing touches can bring everything together. Don’t forget vases, pictures and plants to complete the look

Do I Need Planning Permission To Convert my Conservatory?

Planning permission is not usually required to convert a conservatory into an additional room in your home but there are some exceptions to this rule you should be aware of.

If your conservatory is located on the side of your house and faces onto a road, you will need to obtain planning permission from your local authority before carrying out any work. Similarly, if your conservatory is located in the front garden of your property, you may also need to apply for planning permission.

In most cases, however, it should be possible to convert your conservatory without the need for planning permission unless you’re knocking it down and replacing it with a much larger structure or meeting the criteria above.

If you are unsure about whether or not you will need planning permission, it is always best to check with your local authority before starting any work and the good news is that the Leka roof system doesn’t need planning permission to install.
