Open Fire

Another method of heating the conservatory or sunroom is by open fire. This is very much dependant on how you design the room and the style or theme you wish to apply.

A rustic style, for example, will be most suitable for an open fire.

A built in gas or electric fire can look very attractive in a more modernist conservatory/sunroom.

A fire inserted about one metre from ground level will look sleek and yet will do the job perfectly.

For rooms that are part of a new house build another option is under-floor heating. This can again be oil or gas and is easy to install because it is part of a larger project.

If you not going with the under-floor option and you want a consistent quality of heat, then radiators are the solution, particularly in sunroom where you generally have about 300 - 600mm of a wall height under the windows. This will facilitate low line radiators of which there are many examples on the Irish market. Any hardware or plumbing supplies provider will have a large choice in stock.

It is advisable that before you build, you get a professional assessment done as to the level of heat required. The dimensions of any room, including the height, will provide a professional installer with the number of BTU’s (British Thermal Units) needed to heat the room to acceptable level. Do not skimp on this aspect. It is an easy mistake to make that you will sorely regret later. Better to be pounds wise than penny foolish in installing your choice of heating for your conservatory or sunroom.
