POLL: Conservatories and garden rooms - yay or nay?
Comments (121)I never understood why people don't build their conservatory for year round use. It's all about light and heat control. Automatic sun reflective shades along the roof windows will keep the room from overheating in the summer and even help keep it warm in the winter. Proper wall and ceiling insulation, double or gas permeated triple glazing will keep it comfortable year around with the right heating. Add a wee wood stove in a corner with a simply pipe chimney and you have yourself a lovely winter sun room to brighten your cold winter days. If you live where there is snow, even better. It'll feel like a wee slice of paradise....See MorePOLL: Technology in the bedroom: yes or no?
Comments (23)In a fast paced world I don't see why technology can't be beneficial in the bedroom...the Atlantic Maradja range of electric radiators that we offer can be controlled remotely by a smartphone app; this case has tech helping you relax. You can adjust the temperature without having to leave the comfort of your bed!...See MorePOLL: Conservatory or extension?
Comments (192)If you were our client, we would first assess which way the house faces in order to understand the direction of the sun and the likely impact on the space in terms of light and heat, plus we would ask what use you intend to place on the new space. It is also the case that with whatever heating - a fully glazed conservatory can seem an inhospitable space in the winter months. Even in the UK heat gain during our short summer is a major consideration and whilst roof blinds can be added - these can spoil the original design intent. A part solid / part glazed roof with fully glazed walls may be the most successful.

Comments (8)I think that the fabrics we use will be smart no iron so we will just fold all our clothes. Our wardrobes will tell us the balance of the clothes inside i.e 1 shirt, 2 pairs of jeans etc. No more looking for that favourite top and it's in the laundry!!...See Moreembzop
