Can my conservatory be lived in all year round?
Today's conservatory can be lived in all year round, even in winter. It's a real living space in the house: between inside and outside, this extension, which you can enjoy in all seasons, increases your living space without the need for major building work.
Is it possible to live in a conservatory in winter?
It's perfectly possible to convert a conservatory into a habitable room. Building a conservatory to increase your living space is a quick solution that doesn't require time-consuming and messy renovation work, unlike a traditional house extension (building a garage, extra room, raising the height of the house, etc.).
What's more, technical innovations in insulation, heating and glazing make the conservatory a genuine extra room that can be used all year round, just like any other room in the house. Of course, if you want to make the most of your conservatory in winter, you'll need to add heating, either as an extension of the house heating system, a heat pump or underfloor heating. There are many solutions, depending on your needs (kitchen, living room, conservatory, workshop, games room, spa, bedroom, etc.) and your budget.
