1. The word conservatories always conjures up a picture of a
glasshouse tacked onto the rear of a property, where people can sit
and read and spent some valuable time. This is an exceptional
extension of your home in garden with glass, wood and metal
structure. However, in Britain, conservatory is legally defined as
a building that has minimum 50 percent of side walls and 75 percent
of it covered with transparent glass or polycarbonate roof. Irish
people are a keen lover of conservatories. They use it to increase
the value of their homes as well as for a number of reasons. They
use it as a dining room, living room, reading room and also as a
gym. All the members of the family get used to conservatories in
Ireland because of its comfort and welcoming surrounding. But,
strong winds, driving rain, ice and snow and weather conditions in
winter can wreak havoc on conservatories. Therefore, it's our duty
to protect the conservatories against accidents and wear and tear
in winter months.
2. Here are seven major tips to maintaining the conservatories
in winter: Tip 1#: Clean the gutter twice in winter months-once in
the early winter and once in the late winter. This avoids back up
of rainwater, water damage and restricts insects to make their home
and cause damage to the structure. Tip 2#: Sluice away the dust
from the glass roof with a good hose. Do not scrub or self-clean it
as this will adversely remove the micro covering. Tip 3#: Repair
the leaks to avoid inadequate flashing, loose capping, proper
closing of vents, etc. Tip 4#: Repaint the wooden conservatories to
prevent rot, flaking and keeping the exterior look clean and fresh.
It also reduces penetration of water, any insects damages and allow
any excess moisture in the wood to escape. Tip 5#: Check the seals
around the windows for any wear and tear. Replace the damaged
rubber gaskets and seals, which can affect the energy efficiency of
the conservatories. Tip 6#: Oil the hinges, handles and locks with
a 3 in 1 oil. Tip 7#: Use soft cotton cloth or dry brush wipe out
the cobwebs on the corners.
3. Each of the above mentioned tips could help to maintain the
structural integrity of your conservatory in seasonal weather.
However, it is easy to carry out all the tips yourself, but
replacement and repair done under professionals, works the best.
