Summer overheating and how glass specification helps
Larger glazed openings are wonderful until July sun turns the lounge into a greenhouse. Plan the glass early.
Solar-control coatings, external shading and sensible roof lights make a bigger difference than hoping a fan will cope.
Conservatories and south-facing bi-folds are the usual candidates. We discuss orientation on survey so the finished room stays usable.
If you already have a hot room, we can often improve comfort with a roof upgrade or selective glass changes without rebuilding everything.
