This is a question that is regularly asked usually by people who are experiencing problems with condensation. This is fully understandable as you certainly don’t want to make the problem worse by keeping more warm air in the room. One of the best things you can do to stop condensation is to install a properly insulated conservatory roof.

Proper Insulation will not result in your conservatory becoming more humid

If you want to minimise the possibility of condensation or mould growth it bis important to keep a constant temperature on your roof. It is also advisable to keep rooms well ventilated by opening windows for a couple of hours a day. This will allow for better circulation thus significantly reducing the chances of condensation.

What are the Main Reasons for Condensation

Condensation is often a real issue in older more traditional type conservatories. One of the main problems home owners are faced with is that it can be difficult to pinpoint the source the condensation. If you are experiencing problems with condensation on an older style glass or polycarbonate conservatory roof it could be as a result of a combination of different factors. Some of the factors that play a part in condensation forming on conservatory roofs are high humidity levels, cold surfaces and poor ventilation.

Condensation happens when cold air meets warm air and condenses which can also be referred to as the dew point. Warm air, being more buoyant, interacts with cooler air, which carries more water vapour. When the air cannot hold this water vapour and the warm air touches a cold surface, such as a conservatory window, the moisture turns into water droplets, which results in condensation forming.

A properly insulated conservatory roof has the ability to retain heat during colder winter months while preventing overheating in summer. This makes your conservatory a comfortable and usable space all year round. On top of this you can help ensure that you reduce the chances of condensation because of the higher temperatures on the inside of the windows.

Transforming an Outdated Conservatory

If you have a conservatory in your home the last thing you want it to be is a bit of a white elephant that you are unable to use because it is too hot in summer and freezing cold in winter. Having a conservatory that is a comfortable space all year round not only benefits your family but also adds value to your property. Transforming your conservatory doesn’t need to involve a complete rebuild from the ground up.

The good news is that you don't need to completely rebuild your conservatory from the ground up. By installing an insulated conservatory roof, you can improve energy efficiency, reduce utility bills, and eliminate annoying sun glare. This upgrade will make the room feel like an integral part of your home, seamlessly blending with adjoining spaces such as kitchens, dining rooms, and living areas. Additionally, you will enjoy the following benefits:

Improves heat retention in the winter (a heat loss saving of up to 90%)

Significantly less noise when it rains.

Practically no loss of ceiling height.

No change to the interior space.

Immediately adds to the resale value of your home.
