Conservatories with direction are better
Adding a conservatory to your home is a great way to add some extra space and bring some additional light into your house.
The most traditional space for a conservatory addition is at the back of the house, facing on to the garden, so a lot of the benefits of the conservatory will depend on which direction the back of your house is facing. No matter what direction your conservatory faces, there will be some benefit but different types of conservatories will be of more use to some people than others.
A conservatory that faces east is the ideal solution for someone who wants to relax in the morning and have their breakfast in the sunshine. This is the ideal location for people who are early risers and see a relaxing start to the day as the best possible start. Anyone looking to use their conservatory at night or during the winter months should be aware that a decent level of heating is likely to be required to counter the lack of natural heat and light at these times.
A conservatory facing the east will also be a great benefit to people who like the idea of having their breakfast in the sunshine and could well see them into the early part of the afternoon. A lot will depend on whereabouts in the country you live, but this is a good general guide that should be enough to allow everyone to get a head start.
Conservatories that face the south will benefit from sunshine throughout the day, making for a very pleasant way to relax at weekends – or in the daytime, if you are fortunate enough to not be working. This is a positive thing but can often lead to the conservatory being very warm and possibly even over-heated at times. The addition of good ventilation or blinds to dampen the heat from the sun can make this choice of conservatory much more enjoyable for a household.
A conservatory facing west will bring the same benefits and negative issues as a south facing one, with light likely to be available throughout the day. It is important to ensure that there are sufficient levels of ventilation and shade to ensure that everyone in the household can get the most benefit from it, depending on their preferences.
No matter where your house faces, a conservatory can be a great addition, but whether north, east, west or south, it can really make a difference to how you use your conservatory.
