Oh and the temp had gone down 1/2 a degree by the time I took the photo. I'd opened the doors and windows to get the room cooler!

I had a conservatory some years ago that had no aircon or heating in it. I had some large church candles in it that actually melted despite muslin curtains at the windows. In the winter it was freezing cold. The only time it was usable was for a couple of weeks either side of summer and winter

Oh and my Cacti thrived in it

I misread that title as Conservative or Greenhouse. Imagine my confusion.....

We don't close our doors anymore, but when we used to get back from work in the summer, it regularly got into the 50s, once as high as 58. You had to run in, open the outer door and run out as it was unbearable.

Snap! Although its now a toy dumping ground for the little one, but some of them are starting to melt in this heat

My conservatory was the same and pretty much became unuseable, so the previous owners changed the traditional conservatory roof to a pitched tiled roof with a velux window

It still gets unbearably hot and cold in the summer & winter months

You should be careful though as changing the roof to a pitched tiled roof changes the use froma conservatory to an extension and building regs etc were never got for it, but that is sorted now

Thats why I don't see the point of a conservatory

There is no point to them, they are a waste of time but ours came with the house - I will knock it down soon.

My mates conservatory is spot on. He has this Argon gas filled reflective glass or something of the sort. He reckons it reflects the sun rays out and the glass is actually as good in the winter as brick walls.
