Heating the Conservatory
When constructing a new conservatory, you need to think about more than just design and style. Ideally, you will have planned every single detail of the home extension which includes the heating system too. As the conservatory is made mainly of glass, a great deal of the heat could be lost. However, new technologies come to our rescue, or in other words, now we have the double-glazed windows that will preserve the heat.
In case you are planning to use the facility all year long, you should consider inserting a heating system while you are developing the whole conservatory, rather than calling plumbers in London, asking them to install a radiator a few months after it has been built. The two most innovative and invisible to the eye methods are skirting board heating and underfloor heating.
For those of you who are not familiar with the concept of skirting board heating, let me try to clear the subject. The concept dates back to the 20’s , but only due to new technologies now it is actually energy efficient. Specialist claim that it takes the household heating to a whole new level. Skirting board heating makes use of the otherwise unusable skirting boards and in the mean time opens up space in your home as you no longer need radiators or other heating units.
On the other hand, underfloor heating is also a great option. Unlike the conventional heating system, underfloor heating employs water heated to lower temperatures. It mixes water in the underfloor with heated water from a boiler. Another benefit to the underfloor heating system is that it divider the area to be heated into zones, and each zone is heated and controlled independently. In other words, you could choose which areas to heat and when to do it. According to electricians London, underfloor heating systems are compatible with solar systems, high-efficiency condensing boilers and heat recovery ventilation systems.
Last5 but not least, you should not forget about insulation and particularly about underfloor insulation. It will help you keep heat from escaping in the foundations of the building, instead of heating the room. If you want an energy-efficient, ready-to-use all year round conservatory, you should plan the heating and insulation carefully.
