Having a conservatory to enjoy when the peak British summertime hits is a benefit many UK residents can’t wait for.
The summer brings plenty of opportunities, from relaxing in the garden and spending time with family to potentially taking your work closer to the outside by setting up your desk in the conservatory.
Enjoying your conservatory is one thing, but it’s also crucial to maintain your space through the summer so that you never have to worry and ensure your conservatory remains problem-free throughout the season and all year round.
Here are five ways to maintain your conservatory through the summer.
Install Air Conditioning
One concern that can ruin your ability to relax in your conservatory – and even prevent you from spending time in it – is the space becoming unbearably warm.
This is always a risk during the summer, especially if your conservatory is south-facing and receives direct sunlight throughout the day.
Air conditioning is a great way to maintain the cool temperature of your conservatory through the summer when your space becomes too warm.
Keep Your Windows and Roof Clean
Conservatories are natural light havens, a boon for your mental health, ensuring a healthy source of light for your time in your conservatory, and other benefits, such as plant life in your conservatory.
Keeping your windows and roof (if glass) clean is paramount to ensuring your conservatory can enjoy unfiltered natural light all summer. You’ll therefore want to have an excellent system to clean your windows, and you can even explore upgraded glass, which can repel dirt and reflect light outward to ensure temperature control.
Choose Durable Flooring
Your conservatory will see a lot of foot traffic during the summer with so much time spent there, especially if you have a busy family or social life spent in the garden. Your flooring will make all the difference for easy maintenance of your conservatory.
You’ll want to consider upgrading flooring to one that is easy to clean and will stand the test of time. This will make sure your conservatory can remain clean and protected.
Make Sure to Install Quality Glazing
The glass used for your windows and doors should be of optimum quality, which means secure double glazing if possible. This is to help your conservatory control temperature in a better way and avoid condensation build-up, which could also lead to damp problems. You don’t want your summer days to be ruined by condensation build-up obstructing your conservatory window view.
Keep on Top of Blind or Curtain Cleaning
You’ll likely have some blinds or curtains to screen off sections of your conservatory windows when needed, so it’s essential to have a cleaning routine for these, too. This will help to keep your conservatory dust and dirt free so that you can avoid any allergy build-up, especially during peak summer allergy season.
