Hello everyone,

We are planning to install a conservatory integrated into our living space, featuring substantial roof glazing. A conservatory installer mentioned that we would need convector heaters in front of the windows because underfloor heating alone would not be sufficient. The conservatory will have triple glazing.

Has anyone installed something similar and can share their experience about what is actually necessary? I would like to avoid convector heaters if possible, as they are unattractive and intrusive… even if recessed into the floor.

Thanks and best regards

What does your architect say about that?

Hello,

how large is the conservatory in square meters (square feet)?

The area marked in red shows how far the glazing extends vertically.

By the way & off-topic: A 14cm (5.5 inches) floor structure is very tight – I hope your plumber and electrician coordinate well.

I assume our electrical wiring is cast into the concrete ceilings.
