Bioclimatic conservatory
Opting for a bioclimatic conservatory or veranda has several advantages. In addition to enjoying constant warmth and optimal comfort in all seasons, you make substantial energy savings.
A well-insulated conservatory for optimal comfort
A bioclimatic conservatory is above all a well-insulated extension to the house that offers you constant warmth and relaxing well-being. The first step in ensuring that your conservatory is properly insulated is the choice of materials. Opt for an aluminium frame with a thermal break, which is very effective when it comes to maintaining a reasonable temperature even when the weather outside is scorching or very cold. Combine this basic structure with suitable equipment.
Choose an efficient heating method: radiators connected to your central heating, underfloor heating, electric convector heaters, wood-burning stove, etc.
Install blinds, roller shutters or roof blackouts to prevent the sun from shining through the glass roof of your conservatory and to protect you from excessive light. Also make sure to have double glazing installed.

The performance level of the glazing & roofing
The composition of the conservatory also involves the choice of roof and front fillings.
- For the roof, different materials, more or less opaque and insulating, are available.
- For the front, several double glazing options are available, with different levels of insulation, or with varying degrees of impact resistance.

A bioclimatic conservatory for energy savings
In addition to the well-being aspect, the installation of a bioclimatic conservatory has a second advantage: that of achieving substantial energy savings compared to a conventional conservatory. You can expect to make savings of around 50%, although this figure varies greatly depending on the heating method you choose, the orientation of your extension to the house and the equipment you install.
For example, electric convector heaters will undoubtedly be more expensive than connecting to your central heating or using a wood-burning stove. The same applies if you only have single glazing, as the heat loss will be greater and therefore more energy will be used to heat your conservatory.
A bioclimatic conservatory that is comfortable in all seasons
A bioclimatic conservatory allows you to feel at ease there in all seasons.
In winter, you are protected from the cold and humidity. For optimal temperature control, don't hesitate to install a thermostat to regulate the power of your radiators. Also make sure to ventilate daily through the windows or skylights for about 15 minutes a day.
In summer, you will enjoy a pleasant temperature thanks to the insulation provided by the double glazing. Depending on the orientation of your conservatory, you can adjust the height of your sun protection according to the time of day, leaving your blinds and shutters more open to the cool of dawn so that your conservatory stores cool air and keeps it in reserve for the hotter hours.
How does a bioclimatic conservatory work?
A bioclimatic conservatory differs from a conventional conservatory in its ingenious design, which takes advantage of natural elements to optimise thermal comfort and reduce energy consumption.
High-performance insulation: the key to constant comfort
The first step towards a bioclimatic conservatory is choosing quality insulating materials. An aluminium frame with a thermal break is an excellent base, as it prevents heat transfer, keeping your conservatory cool in summer and warm in winter.
For optimal comfort, there are several options available to you:
- An efficient heating method: radiators connected to the central heating, underfloor heating, electric convectors or wood-burning stove, depending on your preferences and budget.
- Shading systems: blinds, roller shutters or roof blackouts to modulate the sunlight and preserve a pleasant brightness.
- Double glazing: essential for optimal thermal insulation.
Energy savings
In addition to comfort, a bioclimatic conservatory allows you to save energy compared to a traditional conservatory. Reduce your energy bill by 50% on average, a figure that varies depending on the heating method, the orientation of your extension and the equipment installed.
