When it comes to home improvements conservatories are now as popular as ever. In the past conservatories had a reputation of been too hot in the summer and too cold in the winter. However thanks to improvements in technology a conservatory is now a space which can be used throughout the year. In the current economic climate more people are looking for ways to stay put and improve their current home rather than moving home and adding a conservatory is a great way to do this.
Conservatories first became popular way back in the 18th century. Thanks to new trade links opening across the world explorers and merchants brought exotic plants back to Europe. Due to the harsh European climate these exotic plants were unable to survive outside so conservatories were built to house them in. Conservatories soon became very popular and were used as a sign of wealth and status within society.
Unfortunately these early conservatories were very expensive to heat and high maintenance and it was not until the invention of double glazing and uPVC towards the end of the 21st century that conservatories became popular with the masses. No longer are they used as just a space for growing plants but they are used as extra living space and a major part of the home. Conservatories are now one of the most affordable ways of adding extra living space to your home whilst adding a unique space like no other room in your home. For these reasons conservatories are now more popular than ever, not only do they make your home a great place to live but they also help to make your home more desirable if you decide to sell in the future.
