Often, the heart of the home is the kitchen, but if your kitchen seems more like a ship's galley, it can feel stifling, thwarting your creative impulses in the kitchen. Fitting a large family in a small kitchen is not a task that many people would look forward to. One idea for growing your kitchen and expanding its potential is adding to it with a kitchen conservatory.
Kitchen conservatories are often cheaper than having a traditional extension on your kitchen.
There are some areas which a bespoke conservatory poses issues of serious consequence. Most important is how you will maintain a comfortable living temperature. Due to the large amount of glass it is difficult to keep the conservatory cool during the summer and tough to heat it during the winter. If the conservatory is south facing then this means that the conservatory will be extremely hot as it will get constant sun exposure.
Heating during the winter is a more complicated issue. Certainly heating and cooling problems are important to maximize use of your conservatory. Without a good quality heating system, the conservatory will be too cold for anybody to use during the winter or on colder days. If your conservatory is open to your kitchen and not separated by a door, temperature maintenance is mandatory, otherwise, the room can quickly become a drain on your home's resources.
Underfloor heating is one of the easiest ways of adding heating into any sort of conservatory, especially a kitchen conservatory where wall space is at a premium. Obviously we cant have a hole in the floor with the underfloor heating in, so a system of decorative cast iron floor grilles are placed on top of the trenches. The underfloor heating will have its own thermostat which will allow you to turn on the heating in the conservatory without having the have the rest of the house heated.
This new beautiful space which has been created with the addition of a conservatory to your kitchen is perfect for family meals and relaxing as well as cooking and preparing food. There is nothing like enjoying your coffee and toast in the morning immersed in your garden, or sipping a glass of wine under the stars with a good book. In order for your conservatory to work for you and your family the way you envision it, you simply need some planning and foresight.
