There’s nothing better than stepping into your conservatory on a bright winter’s morning, sipping a warm drink while the sun rises through the glass panes. There’s just one problem: instead of feeling like a cosy retreat, the room feels more like a walk-in fridge!

Since conservatories are mostly made of glass (which isn’t the best at keeping heat in), it’s no wonder they can get pretty chilly. Replacing the roof with a solid one would massively cut down on heat loss, but that can be quite an investment. So, what can you do to make your conservatory warm without going over your budget?

The conservatory specialists at Ecozenic have put together five easy and affordable tips to help keep the cold out. Read on to learn how you can make the most of your conservatory, even during the colder months!

1. Use space heaters

One of the easiest and most affordable ways to heat your conservatory is by using space heaters. Portable and easy to store, they’re inexpensive to buy and only need to be switched on when you're using the room, which makes them a cost-effective option. If you want to maximise efficiency, look for models with thermostats and timers, so you can heat the space just when you need it and avoid wasting energy.

2. Install thermal blinds or curtains

Conservatory windows, while great for natural light, are also notorious for letting heat escape. Installing thermal blinds or thick curtains can help insulate the space, reducing heat loss and trapping warmth. Look for blinds that have a reflective backing to further reduce heat loss. These are simple to install and can make a significant difference to the room’s temperature, especially when paired with other heating methods.

3. Seal gaps and draughts

Draughts can be a major culprit when it comes to heat loss, so it’s a good idea to give your conservatory a close look for any gaps around doors, windows, or where the panels meet. Adding weatherstripping to these spots can help keep the cold air out and the warm air in. You could also pop a draft excluder at the bottom of your doors to block chilly breezes, helping to keep your conservatory cosy without increasing your energy bills.

4. Lay down rugs or carpet

Floors can let out a lot of heat, especially in a space with lots of windows like a conservatory. If your conservatory has a hard floor, like tiles or laminate, adding a rug or carpet can automatically help make the room warmer. A thick, soft rug not only keeps the floor insulated but also makes the whole room feel cosier and more inviting during the chilly months.

5. Invest in eco panels

A great way to keep your conservatory warmer for the long term is by upgrading your roof with eco panels. These insulated panels fit neatly under your existing glass roof, creating a thermal barrier that helps trap warmth inside while keeping the cold out. They're a fantastic, budget-friendly alternative to a full conservatory roof conversion and give you all the benefits without the hassle of big construction work.
