Top cooling solutions for conservatories that trap too much heat
Why So Many London Conservatories Become Unusable in the Summer
As summer temperatures continue to rise in London, conservatory owners face a recurring and frustrating issue: overheating.Conservatories are designed to bring natural light and outdoor charm into the home, but when heat levels soar, these beautiful glass extensions can become unbearably hot.
At Taylorglaze, we specialise in delivering innovative, energy-efficient conservatory roof solutions to address this very problem.
Whether you're battling intense summer glare or trying to retain warmth during cold British winters, we offer tailored roofing systems that transform your conservatory into a comfortable, usable space year-round.
Why conservatories overheat: understanding the root cause
The problem of overheating often stems from traditional polycarbonate or glass roofs, which lack proper solar control properties.
These materials allow excessive sunlight to enter, trapping heat inside and turning the conservatory into a greenhouse-like environment.
The result is a stifling space that remains unused for large parts of the year. In urban areas like London, where garden space is limited, this represents a significant loss of valuable living area.
High-performance glass roofs with solar control coating
One of the most effective ways to combat overheating is to upgrade to solar control glass roofing.
At Taylorglaze, we offer advanced double-glazed and triple-glazed roof systems that include low-emissivity coatings and argon gas filling for superior insulation.Benefits of Solar Control Glass Roofing:
- Reflects solar radiation to reduce heat gain
- Maintains natural light without the greenhouse effect
- UV protection reduces furniture fading
- Enhanced acoustic insulation
- Thermal efficiency for year-round comfort
We provide various tints and finishes to match your property’s aesthetics while minimising solar glare and maximising energy savings.
