Why Choose the Outdoor Living Pod over the Conservatory?

Conservatory | Outdoor Living Pod | Louvered Roof | Pergola | Canopy

We all desire more living space in our homes but which solutions will give us the most for our money. There are various ways we can extend our living space and a common solution is the traditional conservatory. They are an aesthetically pleasing design that provide a sufficient amount of light within the living space but the glazed aspect make it vulnerable to solar heat gain which can cause an uncomfortable atmosphere, deeming the living space useless during the warmer seasons. Many homeowners turn to conservatory roof blinds to help reduce heat and glare, but these only provide a partial solution and don’t overcome the core limitations of the structure.

We need to break away from the traditional routes and start looking at ways we can maximise on our living space and make our home work for us. Outdoor living is continuing to trend as more and more homeowners are spending much more of their time outside. A well designed landscape with a dedicated outdoor living area is becoming and appealing factor for many home buyers in the UK. It is time to adapt and create a space that will be flexible to our needs whilst considering the British climate.
