A winter garden is a great way to enlarge your living space and create a beautiful, relaxing space in your home. It is a place where you can relax and enjoy the beauty of nature, regardless of the season. However, building a winter garden involves certain costs. In this article, we will look at the costs of building and maintaining a winter garden.
The cost of building a winter garden
The cost of building a winter garden depends on many factors, such as the size of the garden, the materials used for construction, the number of windows and doors, and the costs of electrical and heating installations. The average price of building a winter garden ranges from PLN 15,000 to PLN 50,000, but the prices can be much higher or lower depending on the requirements and needs of the client.
The first step in building a winter garden is choosing the right design. The project should take into account the dimensions, the number of windows and doors, and the architectural style of the house to ensure the consistency of the appearance of the entire property. The next step is the selection of building materials. Conservatories are usually made of aluminum, PVC or wood, although the choice of material can also depend on the architectural style of the house.
It is also worth paying attention to the number of windows and doors. The more windows, the more natural light entering the winter garden, but at the same time the construction costs can be higher. External doors should be equipped with appropriate protections to ensure the safety of the residents of the house.
Another cost is the electrical and heating installation. Conservatories are often heated electrically or with a biomass boiler. Electric heating is cheaper to install, but maintenance costs are usually higher. A biomass boiler requires a higher investment in the beginning, but maintenance costs are lower in the long run.
The cost of maintaining a winter garden
The cost of maintaining a conservatory depends on many factors, such as the cost of energy, cleaning and maintenance of windows and doors. The average monthly costs of maintaining a winter garden range from PLN 200 to PLN 500.
One of the biggest costs of maintaining a winter garden is electricity or gas needed to heat the room. These costs depend on the type and power of the heat source and the amount of time the heating is on. These costs can be reduced by using solar energy for heating or by installing a heat recovery system that recovers heat from the ventilation air and uses it for heating.
Another cost is keeping the winter garden clean. It is worth cleaning and cleaning windows regularly to avoid them getting dirty and losing natural light. If the winter garden is a backyard, you should also take care of cleanliness around it, e.g. by cutting out tree branches or shrubs that may cover the windows.
Maintenance of windows and doors is also an important cost of maintaining a conservatory. Windows and doors should be lubricated regularly and checked for damage such as cracks or dents. If such damage occurs, it should be repaired as soon as possible to avoid higher repair costs in the future.
Summary
Building and maintaining a winter garden involves some costs, but it can be a great investment in the future. A winter garden is a great way to enlarge your living space and create a beautiful, relaxing space in your home. The costs of building a winter garden depend on many factors, such as the size of the garden, the materials used for construction, the number of windows and doors, and the costs of electrical and heating installations. The costs of maintaining a winter garden depend on the costs of energy, cleaning and maintenance of windows and doors. It is worth remembering that keeping a conservatory in good condition requires regular maintenance and care, but it can be very rewarding for any owner.
