Why Does My Conservatory Overheat in Summer?

Conservatories overheat because glass and polycarbonate roofs act like a greenhouse, trapping solar heat inside.

Even on moderately warm days, temperatures inside a conservatory can soar to uncomfortable levels, making the room unusable.

An insulated ceiling creates a buffer between the hot roof and the room below, significantly reducing solar heat gain.

For glass roofs, optional internal glare reduction treatments can further reduce heat and light transmission.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will insulation make my conservatory darker?

The plasterboard ceiling does replace natural light from above, but most homeowners find the trade-off well worth it. We offer recessed LED spotlights that provide bright, even lighting throughout the room.

Can I still use blinds with an insulated ceiling?

Once an insulated ceiling is fitted, roof blinds are no longer needed — the ceiling itself manages heat and glare far more effectively than blinds ever could.

How much cooler will my conservatory be in summer?

The insulated ceiling creates a significant barrier against solar heat gain. Most homeowners report their conservatory is comfortable even on the hottest summer days.
