There are some completely obvious ways that we can help keep rooms and conservatories cool when it’s hot in the summer.
Blinds – If you are going down this root shop around for fitted speciality conservatory blinds.
Air Conditioning – Depending on the type of course, air con can be noisy, you may need the doors and windows shut to get the full effect but it’s going to pump out cool air… Nice!
Fans – Some of the new blade-less fans are great but you can pick up some pretty powerful regular fans from stores like Maplins.
Ventilation – Doors and windows open, get a bit of a draught going.
Innovation – A bit of a Fan Hack, if your feeling arts and crafty you could try this fun way to get some cool air through your fan, you just need some plastic bottles, cable ties, something to punch holes and a bit of ice :-)
So that’s the quirky and obvious measures listed, but often it’s the type of roof that is causing extreme heat. Older conservatories with regular glass roofs will always be hot when the sun is beating down, especially if your conservatory is south facing.
So here’s how you really keep your conservatory cool in the summer!
