Why are Brits so in Love with Conservatories?

When the modern conservatory came to the UK in the 1980s, it became a staple for a huge percentage of homes across the country. Since then, innovations in materials and construction have enabled conservatories to become sleeker, more spacious and even more energy efficient. Yet, what is it exactly that draws us Brits into making such an investment? 

When you get down to brass tacks, it becomes increasingly obvious as to why the UK loves a good conservatory. With this in mind, let’s look into some of the main benefits.

 

Bringing the outside in

Let’s be completely honest with ourselves; the UK isn’t particularly famed for its balmy weather. However, a bit of rain and cold never stops us from getting outdoors when we need to. However, with a conservatory, you can have the best of both worlds, creating a room filled with natural light yet remaining nice and temperate. 

With your conservatory, you can enjoy cosy afternoons watching the rainfall from the safety of a sofa or sun yourself on those warmer days.

Adding space to your property

Unlike our friends across the Atlantic, the UK doesn’t have a huge amount of space to work with when it comes to property. Although, as a nation, we’ve become exceptionally good at using the space we have, sometimes we might need a little bit more. 

Investing in a conservatory can be a great way to create a significant amount of space at a fraction of the price of a full extension.

Adding value

Aside from adding space to your property, a quality conservatory extension has the potential to add a substantial amount to your asking price. According to the Telegraph, investing in a quality conservatory can add as much as five per cent to your property’s value, which is an average of about £15,000; definitely not a figure to be sniffed at.

Simple yet versatile

As we’ve mentioned, space is nearly always going to be a desirable factor for UK households, which is why having a simple to erect yet versatile space, like a conservatory, is so useful to British homeowners. 

Whether it’s as a relaxing seating area to while away the hours or even as a gym room to house your workout equipment, a conservatory can easily adapt to anyone’s needs.
