Conservatory Insulation Values

Insulation values are becoming an increasingly important issue when making a decision on purchasing a conservatory. 

In these days of ever rising heating costs it makes sense to consider the insulation values of the conservatory you are intending to purchase to minimise your heating costs in the future.

How often have you heard conservatory owners complain that their conservatory can only be used for 75% of the year as it is much too cold and much too expensive to heat in the winter.  This is undoubtedly the result of substantial heat loss through the glass, frames and roof of the conservatory.  In late autumn or early spring the cold ‘down draught' from low performance glass often makes it uncomfortable to sit anywhere near the windows.

Our conservatories only feature high performance components that will help you utilise your conservatory whatever the weather.

Although building regulations do not currently apply to conservatories of less than 30m2 in England and Wales the fact is they are likely to in the near future and the performance of the components used in their construction will be judged on their U Value. 

Conservatories Installation ValuesIn Scotland , local authorities already request U values for the components used in the construction of conservatories to ensure they meet current (Scottish) Part J regulations.

WHAT IS ‘U' VALUE?

In simple terms, U Value is the measurement of a product's heat transfer, the lower the U value the better the insulation value. 

Ezze Conservatories are constructed using components that have exceptionally low U values and are much more efficient at retaining heat.

PVCU WINDOWS AND DOORS

Our PVCu profile has been extensively tested and not only meets but exceeds Part L of the Building Regulations with a U value of less than 2.0w m/2k.  Our profile is LEAD FREE and cannot discolour. We use virgin profile and galvanised steel re-inforced frames.

SEALED UNITS  

Triple Shield double glazing is manufactured using soft coated Low E glass which not only has a much improved ‘u’ value over K glass but also offers higher light transmission and a lower solar gain or in other words, helps keep the heat in during the winter and helps to keep solar heat out in the summer.

The surface temperature of the glass is much higher than standard double glazing so furniture can be placed closer to the glass area without discomfort in the winter which is especially important in conservatories where furniture is almost always closer to the glass area.
