Hey folks,
We've moved into a new house which has a fairly large conservatory (~6m x 3m). We were hoping to use it as a dining area, but quickly discovered (having never had one before) the huge temperature swings makes it pretty unpleasant.
from a bit of reading, it seems insulating the roof can make a huge difference, but i'd like some input on the best way to do this. I see talk of rolls of "foil" which looks somewhat snakeoily (why would we need 300mm of rockwool, or many inches of kingspan if some thin foil roll can do the same job...)
I imagine the "proper" approach is to rip the existing roof off, and build a new one, properly, with insulation integrated into the design. However thats a big expense, and i'm hoping we can do something cheaper/more DIY friendly. Perhaps lining the inside with kingspan or rockwool or similar?
Can anyone give some advice on the best way to do this?
Thanks
