Using radiator reflector foil on my conservatory roof to reflect heat...

[funtins]

What do you guys think of this idea?

I think its a good one, very cheap solution too. I just don't know how i'm going to keep the foil in place so that if there are heavy winds or rain, it doesnt get detached.

you can buy specialised stuff made for the job
consider a shade sail that sits OVER the roof

 

[funtins]

yeh it is much more expensive though.

the shade sail-will that reflect heat waves? i am thinking to use this foil stuff because i know it reflects heat effectively.

I think you've been sitting in the conservatory for too long.

Knock it down and build an extension.

It's what I done 2 years ago, the best thing ever.

The conny was too hot in summer and too cold in winter.

Just wait, normal service will resume soon, Ive not known 6 weeks+ of solid sun in this country in my lifetime.

i wonder if there is a way to lay some kind of internal fascia in the conservatory to make it more like a normal room. im always getting insects coming in though, it is really annoying and i dont know how they are getting in.

I would have thought that greenhouse shade netting would be cheaper and easier than strips of foil - it's also permeable, so less of a problem with rain and wind, then just take it down at the end of the 'too hot' season

Excellent idea. Would it do the job if I fitted it ok the inside of the roof?

Sorry - late night physics brain is currently unavailable! It would certainly work better if you lay it on the outside.

That's exactly what I have just done at mine. However, 'twas me who put the foundations in so I didn't have to start from scratch.

Connies are shoite - end of.
