The positioning of your conservatory will influence the ambience of the room at particular times during the day. In general the following applies:
North facing: subjected to the colder side of our climate but enjoying some morning sun. Good insulation and heating will be required.
South facing: The warmth of a conservatory on the sunny side of your property will be appreciated by both people and plants. Sufficient ventilation and shading will help to keep the room at a comfortable temperature during really hot spells.
East facing: Benefits from early morning sun, making it an ideal breakfast room.
West facing: Fairly well lit at the start of the day and benefits from the warmth of the sun in the afternoons and evenings-perfect for entertaining and dinner parties.
