We’ve an open plan kitchen/diner/social space, that, as you can see, has a lot of glass.
It carries the same thermal delights as a conservatory. Scorchio in summer, freezing in winter. It measures about 8x8m.
The area has WarmUp UFH covering it, but I’d have to sell a body part to fund its operation these days… and there’s 4x large Rads with unknown BTU output, which does sufficiently heat the space.
The problem we have is at this time of year, and the speed in which the heat we’re pumping in…. Pumps out again!
I’m looking for ideas/suggestions as to what options might be available to ‘do something to the glassy areas to keep heat in’…
Would wooden blinds inside/outside help?
Internally fitted blinds?
If the room didn’t have the annoyingly tricky to do anything with shaped glass above, I’d have ran a long corner rail and had some theatre esque curtains installed… but really that isn’t going to fly…
thoughts?
