Can You Use Your Conservatory All Year Round?

Conservatories have developed a reputation for being uncomfortable in the extreme heat of both winter and summer. With our latest uPVC conservatories, this is a thing of the past. Our experts have put together their tips for making the most of your uPVC orangery or conservatory all year round.

Conservatories For All-Year-Round

At Notaro Windows, our conservatories are suitable for all-year-round use thanks to their innovative double glazing and advanced roofing. This double glazing creates a thermal barrier for your home, trapping heat during winter and resisting heat during summer.

These conservatories for all-year-round use are a significant upgrade on conservatories of the past. Generally, older structures would use cheaper materials that weren’t as effective for your home. This would make them unpleasant places to be for much of the year. Not only do our uPVC conservatories create an enjoyable environment, but during winter they can even replace the need for central heating and warm up your home!

Making The Most Of Your Conservatory All Year Round

So, how can you make the most of our all-year-round conservatories? We’ve put together a few tips on how to update your uPVC conservatory or uPVC orangery for each season. This will help you get the most out of your space throughout the year.

Spring

Spring is a season of renewal and growth, so it’s the ideal time to refresh your uPVC conservatory’s interior. One way to do this is by adding plants and flowers. You could even create a mini garden with pots of colourful, lush greenery.

This is also a good time to consider changing your soft furnishings. Swap out winter cushions and throws for lighter, brighter fabrics in pastel shades. This will create an airy feel, perfect for Spring.

Summer

The focus in summer should be on creating a cool, comfortable space. One way to do this is by installing blinds into your all-year-round conservatory, further keeping out the sun during the hottest parts of the day.

You could also consider adding some outdoor-style furniture. This could be a wicker chair or a rattan sofa, giving your uPVC conservatory a relaxed and summery feel.

Autumn

Autumn is a time of change, with the leaves turning golden brown and the weather becoming cooler. To update your uPVC conservatory or uPVC orangery, add some warm, cosy touches. This could be a wool rug, cushions, or a soft throw.

Another idea is to add some seasonal decorations, such as a display of pumpkins and gourds, or a wreath made from autumn leaves.

Winter

Winter is arguably the most challenging season for conservatories, but our conservatories for all-year-round don’t suffer in the same way. Consider making the most of this extra space by adding festive touches. This could be a Christmas tree, some twinkling lights, or a wreath made from pinecones.

For your soft furnishings, try to create a warm, cosy atmosphere with heavy fabrics such as wool, velvet, or faux fur. For example, you could swap out a cotton throw with a chunky knit blanket.
