improving a dated conservatory without rebuilding

[ThyJones]

Hi, when we moved into our house it had a conservatory on it, old and cheapish and pretty basic. This served a purpose but we wish to use it for a bit of a playroom. We are only thinking of living here a year before we sell up and move elsewhere so no point in starting again really, so am looking for a way if even possible to improve it.

This isnt my conserv but the panels are similar http://www.misted2clearwindows.co.uk/uploads/1/5/3/0/15305506/4729446_orig.jpg

Any suggestions?i dont fancy taking it down to build it back up as ive built some fairly complex decking around it. Its mainly just the plastic panels and the cheap roof(which should be easy todo). Any thoughts?

Thanks

Not much you can do without spending thousands really.
Maybe just give it a good clean, Get some nice blinds and maybe even some decorative glass units in the little top hung openers.

PVC usually takes paint very well and there are specialist primers and paints available for PVC. It won't last for ever but for a quick tart-up before selling might do.

There are 'specialist' firms that come and spray paint the whole thing in situ but I suspect that they may be expensive.

Depending on construction method used, it's possible the bottom panels can be popped out in the same way as a double glazed window panel, and could be replaced.

Also there are some window glazing films for sun shielding, privacy, tinting etc.
