Conservatory Comfort

Heating your Conservatory

However you choose to do it, you will need to heat your 'glass house' in the winter.
The following should help you in deciding how.

Electric Heating/Portable gas fires

At the cheaper end of the market are the normal heating methods you would use to heat any sort of room. These gas and electric heaters are usually cheap, easy to install and very versatile.

here are some more sites for your information.

Conservatory Heating.com have a good range of heaters available for conservatories.

Easy Heat has built a reputation within the heating industry as a provider of simple to install radiators for locations where plumbing might be difficult.

Deal Electrical offer a huge range of heating solutions.

By visiting these sites you can choose an inexpensive heating system for your conservatory. With a wide range of styles to choose from.

Under-floor Heating

An excellent way to heat your conservatory with nothing showing above floor level apart from a small thermostat control.

There are 2 main systems used, electric cables similar to an electric blanket and a warm water/pipe system that is buried beneath the floor.

The second type may require some extra pumps, etc. to be fitted or in some cases can be run straight from your existing central heating system.

Again, here are a few sites that specialise in these heating systems.

Nu-Heat specialise in warm water underfloor heating.

FloorHeatech specialise in electric underfloor heating systems

UFH-UK Ltd supply a range of underfloor heating systems including one specifically for laminate flooring.

I think it would be wise to give this serious thought as you choose what style of conservatory might suit you. It can be fitted at a later date but by using your imagination you could appreciate what extra work/cost there would be involved.

Insulated floor panels

As the name suggests these boards don’t actually heat but insulate your room from the cold concrete beneath.

Consisting of a sheet of tongue and grooved chipboard bonded onto a layer of polystyrene foam.

This board is laid on top of the concrete floor and provides an instant flat, sound surface to cover with your chosen flooring.

Very effective means of insulating your conservatory floor.

Kingspan Insulation Solutions manufacture Thermafloor insulated chipboard.

Essex Insulation Ltd suppliers of Thermafloor.

Heat Exchange Units

Combine heating, cooling and air purification in one system, see our Air Conditioning page.

Please note

Due to building regulations if you extend your central heating system into your conservatory, it will no longer be classed as a conservatory and you will have to apply for planning permission.

The heating system you install in your conservatory should be controlled from the conservatory.
