Dear all,
We have a double height conservatory on our house that we use (or rather the dog uses) throughout the year. It is open to the house, and there isn't a way of closing it off. As you might imagine, it has always been a heat sink, but given the rocketing heating costs I need to do something about it.
If it were solely down to me I would replace the roof with a solid one, but the missus has nixed that as she "likes the light" and has plants in there...
At the moment it has a pretty thin polycarbonate roof. I was thinking that if I had a second inner polycarbonate roof fitted, with translucent insulation sandwiched between, that should help considerably. What do you think? It would still let light in, but provide considerably more insulation?
Given that the results won't be as guaranteed as replacing the roof, I don't want to spend a fortune on this to then find it makes little difference.
Any thoughts, ideas on materials, suggestions, recommendations very gratefully received!
