10 Conservatory Refurbishment Ideas

10 Conservatory Refurbishment Ideas

It is often a misconception that conservatories can only be enjoyed in the summer. With the days getting shorter and the cold weather making its way, you may feel your conservatory is now redundant until spring. However, that doesn’t need to be the case. In this article, we take a look at how you can refurbish your conservatory and make it a space that can be enjoyed, whatever the season.

1. Conservatory Conversion

A simple solution to refurb your conservatory is a conservatory conversion. This involves using the pre-existing foundation and converting it into an extension with improved performance and a gorgeous new look. Modernising the features of your conservatory can increase property value while reducing energy bills with improved thermal efficiency.

2. Add Flat Skylights

Having flat skylights installed will maximise the amount of natural light in your conservatory, so on those beautiful, crisp mornings, the sunshine can illuminate your home. Flat skylights have a sleek, slim profile, which adds sophistication to your property with uninterrupted sky views on those glorious starry evenings.

3. Upgrade To A Solid Conservatory Roof

An underperforming conservatory roof can massively hinder the conservatory in various ways, including poor heat retention, cracks, and leaks, to name a few. Our solid conservatory roofs offer thermal and noise reduction and have been weather-tested for all the elements. You can also have comfort in knowing that you will have a solid roof conservatory with Building Regulations and JHAI approval.

4. Install Secondary Glazing

If your conservatory is really starting to feel the winter chill or you live in a traditional home, the addition of secondary glazing could be just what you need. The extra layer of glazing on the existing window enhances the insulation, resulting in reduced heat loss and improved noise reduction. So, if living in a bustling neighbourhood is a real disruption, having secondary glazing installed can mean your conservatory is a warm, peaceful place.

5. Roof Lanterns

Roof lanterns add a touch of elegance to your home. They are also durable and have been tested to withstand the high wind speeds that the UK weather can bring. Installing a Korniche roof lantern can complement both modern and traditional homes, with gorgeous sightlines that allow for improved ventilation.

6. Integral Blinds

Integral blinds are a wise choice for your Hampshire home. In simple terms, these are windows with built in blinds that are inside the two panes of glass instead of blinds that hang behind the window or door. Thus, they offer the advantages of low maintenance, protection, and style. We have a selection of colours to choose from, including classic white and black integral blinds. The integral blinds that we install at KJM Group all come with a 10-year guarantee, too, so you can have peace of mind when you choose us for your blinds.

7. Switch To Aluminium Windows

Installing aluminium windows is a particularly sustainable choice to refurbish your conservatory, as they are highly recyclable. Available in any RAL colour with a sleek and stylish style, aluminium windows can adapt to any home. They are highly durable and have quality strength, making them a smart long-term investment from which you will reap the rewards as soon as they are installed.

8. Consider Warmer Roofs

Warmer roofs are an exceptional upgrade from classic conservatory roofs and can give your home a whole new lease of life. The warmer roof can fit seamlessly into any style, including Edwardian conservatories, P-shaped conservatories, or Lean To conservatories. All warmer roofs are prefabricated for faster installation, meaning you can have this conservatory roof installed during these winter months.

9. Replace Double Glazing With Triple Glazing

You may have double glazing in your conservatory that is performing below the level you may need. The solution to this could be a triple glazing install for your Hampshire home. Having three panels as opposed to two will mean you will reap the rewards of double glazing but at an enhanced level. The risk of moisture causing interior damage to your furniture through condensation will be significantly reduced as the window panes will be closer in temperature to the air.

10. New Patio Doors

Gaining popularity, patio doors have forever remained a great space-saving option for homeowners. A combination to allow for easy access into your garden but still being a highly secure feature means our patio doors are a great refurbishment idea. Offering panoramic views, you will be able to enjoy the outside world all year round from the comfort of your own home.
