Find professional conservatory insulation installers near you

A conservatory has various uses, depending on where it’s located within the home. Some function as sunrooms or living areas, while others act as garden rooms. If you’re planning to have yours insulated, it’s important to understand that different insulation methods may be more effective depending on the purpose of your conservatory. 

When booking conservatory insulation on Airtasker, your hired insulation expert will look into addressing several key areas, namely the roof, floor, walls and door. Insulating these areas properly ensures improved comfort and thermal efficiency that lasts year-round.

Here are some popular options for conservatory insulation, with tips on choosing the right one for yours:

Conservatory roof insulation

The roof is where heat loss in winter and heat buildup in summer mainly come from. This makes the area most critical to insulate. If you’d like to keep the original surface of the roof as is, have your Tasker add an insulated ceiling beneath the existing roof. Another option is to replace the entire roof altogether with a fully insulated tiled roof, which gives maximum insulation but can block natural light.

For a conservatory that houses plants, insulation using foil may be your best choice. The reflective layers bounce heat back in winter and deflect it in summer. You also have the low-cost option to get thermal blinds or curtains, which offer simple heat control that’s most beneficial during hot seasons, though lacking in the cold.

Conservatory wall insulation

Conservatory walls may often be made of glass or another transparent material, but they can still be insulated to make them more energy efficient. Taskers can apply solar control films onto glass walls or windows to limit sunlight and heat in the summer. While this method is ideal for maintaining outdoor views, it needs more maintenance and even replacement, especially during winter. 

For sunrooms with partial brick or solid walls, Taskers can install internal insulation, a method that improves walls’ ability to retain heat. Foil can also be applied to conservatory walls as a cost-effective, lightweight insulation material.

Conservatory floor insulation

Since heat can easily escape through floors, insulating this area is usually a top priority for sunrooms in particular. Taskers can add insulation beneath the flooring. This keeps the conservatory warmer in winter and cooler in summer, making the area accessible and usable at any point throughout the year. This type of insulation can be paired with tiled roofs for maximum effect. 

Conservatory door Insulation

Conservatory doors tend to contribute to fluctuations in temperature, particularly if they’re made of glass or old materials requiring reinforcement. Whether you use the area as a greenhouse or a sunroom, a reliable approach for insulating conservatory doors is proper sealing. Doors must also be draught-proofed to prevent any sudden bursts of wind from entering, allowing for stable indoor temperatures.

After making the necessary renovations to insulate your conservatory, perhaps you need further assistance cleaning the area or making additional repairs. Easily book specialists for these separate services by posting on Airtasker.
