Checklist in Deciding for a Conservatory

Checklist in Deciding for a Conservatory

You may now be in the process of deciding whether you would go for a self build conservatory or not. You may think that you need more space because your house is feeling smaller and smaller each year. But are you really sure about it?

Are you sure that you need a conservatory and not extension instead? These two are quite similar since they both offer more space. But the latter has limited restrictions compared to the first.

To get a resolve, answer these 3 questions:

1. How often will you use it?

What is the main function of your conservatory? Do you intend to spend most of your daily routine there? If yes, you will surely have issues during summer heat and the cold days of winter. A conservatory is like a conductor of cold and heat. Certainly, you can’t just spend most of your time here.

2. What kind of furniture or electric appliances goes there?

Depending on the license you would get, the kind of electric appliances that you can house in your conservatory would be more limited compared to an extension space.

As for furniture, if you are going to use wooden ones, prepare for color fading. Since this space is mainly made of glass, UV rays will have all the access to your wooden furniture.

3. Is your neighbourhood safe?

And did you know that getting a conservatory can actually make your property look vulnerable? It looks really easy to break in. If your neighbourhood is safe, having a conservatory is not a bad idea.

Of course, it depends on you whether you would go for it or not. If you have your alternatives on how to fully enjoy your self build conservatory then by all means go for it. After all, putting it up is already an asset since it increases the value of your property.
