As a regular user of internet forums i know how helpful they can be solving problems so here is my dilemma.
I live in a self built detached chalet bungalow with a south facing garden. The property has a detached garage with its eastern external wall gabled in line with the west facing gabled external wall and set about 1 metre back into the garden.
We intend to convert the garage into a playroom for the children / accommodation if friends come to stay. This is pretty straightforward as the garage is build on a reinforced concrete pad and has a pitched and tiled roof.
We have decided a 5 x4 or 6 x 4 metre conservatory should be built in the infill area between the property and the garage. Primary due to the cost of an extension over a conservatory and any extension with a tiled roof will look messy (hope you can picture the roof layout).
We need planning permission as we have no permitted rights so building a dwarf wall is our preferred option - even though this will means we have less than 50% conservatory glassing.
Reading thought this forum and other bits and pieces on the internet i am concerned i will have a greenhouse in summer and a freezer in winter. The conservatory will be used in winter, if nothing else to access the garage conversion.
What conservatory roofing material is best to keep out in the summer and warmth in in the winter?
Any other ides or comments i should consider.
Thanks
