We made the big mistake of building one at the last house, under
our bedroom window.

Rain falling on the roof - deafening!

We have a carport which has a polycarbonate roof and it is deafening
when it rains but is well away from bedroom area.
However in the light of that experience we had a DG glass roof installed
on the conservatory and despite the bedroom window being directly on to
the conservatory the rainfall noise does not disturb us.
BTW I prefer the Spanish word for conservatory, "Solarum", it sounds so
much better.

Probably more appropriate in Spain, providing you are not on the
plain ;-)

Strange, we have our conservatory under our bedroom window, and it doesn't
make a sound! Its very loud inside though!

We must have got "the wrong kind of rain"

Perhaps you put your roof on inside out ...?

I'm sat here looking at my recently completed foundations and dwarf
wall. Frames and glass at the start of next week, complete by end of the
week if the weather stays fine.

We put in a quite big conservatory about 12 years ago, one of our best
investments. We more or less live in it year round, rarely heated
except for heat from the house radiators. In summer there are 3
large opening windows and two sets of double doors. With an overhead
fan as well, heat isn't too much of a problem.

It really comes into its own in spring, tomato and cucumber seeds etc
are started in trays on the shelves in full light with no added heat.

I am sure that your experience of life with your conservatory will be
positive. Use and enjoy.

Couldn't agree more, I rule I have made..... NO TV IN THERE.... we now live
in it, we talk to each other, read, listen to radio/music, and if there is a
programme on TV that we really want to watch, we go into the now nearly
defunct lounge to watch it, you wont regret it for a minute. ps, just
been in it, just 100d, still no windows open, great for drying washing
whilst I'm out!!

We had one before, moved last summer and it was one of our first jobs.
No plans to have TV in it, last one had a jukebox (which is now in the
living room), there'll be a pair of speakers from that in there.

We found a fan useless in the last one, so this time have gone for the
more expensive option of roof openers. Also gone for an electric heater
rather than a house rad, mainly for convenience but also because there
are some regs involved putting rads in a conservatory.

We do have three electric wall convectors in the conservatory but they
have had very little use. We have two large double patio doors
opening on to the conservatory from the lounge and another patio door
between the conservatory and dining room. They are rarely shut and
the house radiators cope with warming the conservatory except under
the coldest of conditions
