Thermal Efficiency and Its Importance In Your Home

Thermal efficiency is an essential consideration for homeowners who want to reduce their heating bills.  At Abbey Conservatories, we work with market leaders Ultraframe to install their conservatories, orangeries, and house extensions. This guide will explain why thermal efficiency is important in your home and ways you can improve your heat retention. 

What is Thermal Efficiency?

Thermal efficiency is the ability to retain a comfortable temperature all year round.  It is a measure of how well a building prevents heat transfer between the indoors and outdoors. By trapping heat indoors, this will help you stay warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer.  Having a more energy-efficient home could help reduce your home’s carbon footprint A new thermally efficient roof could help improve your home’s visual appeal, creating a striking focal point. Whether you are replacing your roof or adding an extension, a thermally efficient home could be a suitable option.

A Comfortable Living Space 

A thermally efficient home maintains a consistent temperature throughout the year, eliminating cold spots and draughts. We work with Ultraframe to supply their extensions: the tiled Ultraroof, the Classic roof, and the hybrid Livinroof are available with super insulated columns, which are five times more thermally efficient than standard brick columns. This could help make sure that no matter the temperature, you could get an outstanding level of comfort.

Choose Double Glazing Products For Outstanding Heat Retention

Another way your thermal efficiency can be improved is by upgrading your windows and doors to double glazing. Double glazing consists of two panes of glass with a layer of argon glass trapped inside. This creates a thermal barrier that traps natural heat inside your home, which could make yoru home comfortable throughout the year.

Upgrade Your Conservatory Roof

Upgrading your conservatory roof can help improve your home’s performance. The Livinroof hybrid conservatory roof helps give your home the best of both worlds. By inserting a fully glazed panel, your home can be flooded with natural light. Another option to consider is the  Ultraroof, which helps overcome the issue of your home being too hot in summer and too cold in winter. What’s more, it helps create a vaulted ceiling on the inside and a stunning lightweight tiled roof on the outside.
