There are times of year when it’s nice to drink a cup of tea under the warmth of a blanket. But sometimes… it’s not enough. Do you need an efficient solution for heating your conservatory<\/strong>, so you can enjoy it even in winter? Electric radiators, infrared heaters, heat pumps or wood-burning stoves… Here’s a closer look at your options<\/strong> and their benefits.<\/p>\n The first thing to know is that a cold conservatory<\/a> doesn’t need to be heated like a traditional, “hot” conservatory. This is an extension to your house. As such, it must meet energy performance<\/strong> criteria, particularly with regard to insulation. These requirements do not apply to cold conservatories<\/strong>, which are glass roofs covering your terrace<\/a>.<\/p>\n Tea room, winter garden, lounge room… Theterrace shelter<\/a> is a space of well-being between your home and garden. It is intended for more occasional use<\/strong> than a living room. As a result, it requires a one-off heating solution<\/strong>: if you don’t go there, there’s no need to heat it. Let’s take a look at the options available to you to enjoy it in all weathers.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_url=”https:\/\/www.verandair.com\/fr\/pergolas\/pergola-bioclimatique\/” button_text=”Discover our bioclimatic verandas” button_alignment=”center” _builder_version=”4.24.2″ custom_margin=”|30px|||false|false” custom_padding=”||||true|true” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][\/et_pb_button][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.17.6″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]<\/p>\n Radiant heating is quite similar to what you feel when you’re exposed to the sun’s rays<\/strong>. It generally provides a feeling of comfort<\/strong> by acting as a progressive heater, which is quite pleasant.<\/p>\n Its radius of action is precisely directed, and it diffuses heat through<\/strong> the masses<\/strong> in the room. As an added bonus, radiant heating systems are often aesthetically pleasing<\/strong>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Electric heaters offer a fast, practical solution<\/strong> for your conservatory<\/a>. Nevertheless, this system can put a strain on<\/strong> your energy bill<\/strong>, especially if you face harsh winters.<\/p>\n In terms of economy<\/strong>, look no further than inertia radiators. They can be a good option as they diffuse their action by radiation in a long-lasting way.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.verandair.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/IMG_2700.jpg” alt=”conservatory cold veranda” title_text=”Conservatory in a veranda” show_bottom_space=”off” align=”center” _builder_version=”4.17.6″ _module_preset=”default” width=”85%” custom_margin=”40px||40px||true|false” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.17.6″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]<\/p>\n What could be more pleasant than watching the snow fall from the comfort of your glassed-in veranda by the fire? There’s nothing better than a pellet stove. They offer an efficient, ecological and economical solution<\/strong> for your conservatory<\/a>.<\/p>\n The stove may be expensive to buy, but it will save you money in the long term. What’s more, it’sa renewable energy<\/strong> source. This system also offers an aesthetic advantage for your interiors, providing a warm atmosphere<\/strong>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The advantage of an air-to-air heat pump is that it heats the air in the cold season and cools it in the summer<\/strong>. This type of heating captures the calories present in the air and releases them in the form of heat or conditioned air into the room. Note, however, that this type of heating is not recommended in really cold regions. Indeed, very low temperatures reduce its performance.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_url=”https:\/\/www.verandair.com\/en\/contact\/” button_text=”Entrust us with your veranda project” button_alignment=”center” _builder_version=”4.24.2″ custom_margin=”||||true|true” custom_padding=”||||true|true” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][\/et_pb_button][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.17.6″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]<\/p>\n Whatever the case, intelligent design of your veranda<\/a> will help you optimize natural heat<\/strong>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The direction in which your patio enclosure faces will affect its interior temperature. The reason? In principle, the veranda benefits from thegreenhouse effect thanks to the <\/strong>sun’s rays <\/strong>on its walls.<\/p>\n It must therefore be able to capture a minimum amount of heat for totally natural, ecological and economical heating<\/strong>. To attract maximum light without being overwhelmed by the heat in summer, a south-east or west orientation is<\/strong> recommended.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.verandair.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/veranda-retractable-fabrication.jpg” alt=”retractable veranda for a new floor in a Verandair house” title_text=”veranda-retractable-manufacturing” align=”center” _builder_version=”4.17.6″ _module_preset=”default” width=”100%” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.17.6″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]<\/p>\n Depending on the orientation of your home, you’ll also be guided towards one or other material. For example, if your veranda faces south, you’ll probably appreciate shading roof systems<\/strong> or the installation of awnings<\/strong> in strategic places to prevent overheating.<\/p>\n Conversely, for a house facing the other way, the search for light, transparency and warmth will predominate. Visit bay windows<\/strong> <\/a>play an important role here.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/h2>\n
