The most attractive feature of a new conservatory or orangery is the light it will bring into your home. Unlike a standard extension Wholesale Derrick Rose Jersey , which will inevitably darken the room it extends, conservatories and orangeries capture natural light by the use of glass – particularly in their roofs. Yet many conservatories have polycarbonate or plastic roofs, with the aim of saving on cost being the main reason for this choice. It is true that the installation of specialist glass in a conservatory can add a significant amount to the cost, but it can be a false economy to save money on what is the central feature of conservatories and orangeries.

Energy Efficiency
Polycarbonate or plastic roofs are not energy efficient. When they first became popular some years ago this was not such a major concern Wholesale Joffrey Lauvergne Jersey , as energy prices were steady and not rising steeply as they are today. If you plan to install a heating system in your conservatory, probably because you want to enjoy the new space all-year-round, then energy efficiency is a good economic reason to consider having specialist glass installed.

The same is true if you plan to install air-conditioning units. Just as polycarbonate or plastic roofs leak heat they also leak the cooler air generated by your air conditioner. In the long term – and a conservatory is certainly a long-term investment – the money you save by installing cheaper roofing will gradually be lost just like the energy that is lost right through the roof. The cost of installing specialist glass is a fixed and one-off, whereas energy prices are only predictable in that they will certainly continue to rise.

Noise Levels
Another disadvantage of polycarbonate or plastic roofs – and one that is often overlooked – is the level of noise. Plastic is not efficient in isolating a room from outside noise. For many people this appears as less of a concern because their conservatory is generally facing their back garden Wholesale Jimmy Butler Jersey , but after the first heavy rainfall it quickly becomes clear that noise is a factor even in the quietest of locations. Rain on polycarbonate or plastic roofs makes more noise than on glass and this can mean you’ll be closing the doors to your conservatory even in the April showers of early Spring.

Specialist Glass
There are many types of specialist glass that are used in modern conservatory design. They vary widely in cost and also in function, but a reputable conservatory builder will be able to talk you through the different options available.

Solar controlled glass will benefit a southward facing conservatory, because it reduces the temperature caused by prolonged periods of direct sunshine.

Self-cleaning glass will not wipe out the need for cleaning altogether, but it will help reduce the frequency of cleaning. It works by encouraging the rain to do some of the cleaning by helping to remove dirt from the glass.

Insulating glass is more energy efficient and is particularly worth considering if you are installing a heating system or air-conditioning unit in the conservatory.

High-performance glass that offers a combination of these benefits can be installed Wholesale Anthony Morrow Jersey , but each benefit will add to the cost of the glass. The most important thing is that the cost should be weighed against the benefits. Because a conservatory is not only a long-term investment, it should be a place to relax and enjoy the outside, not one to be closed off for most of the year – even when there’s just a bit of a shower.



Parents, when you help your children learn to read Wholesale Rajon Rondo Jersey , you help them open the door to a big, exciting world. As a parent, you can begin an endless learning chain like this: You read to your children, they develop a love of stories and poems Wholesale Michael Carter-Williams Jersey , they want to read on their own, they practice reading, and finally, they read for their own information or pleasure. When children become readers Wholesale Isaiah Canaan Jersey , their world is forever wider and richer.

Studies have shown that children that are read to on a consistent basis begin to develop both communication and thinking skills at a much younger age than children that aren't read to on a consistent basis. In addition, those skills continue to progress and develop much more rapidly in children that are read to consistently. This progression of skills will continue as long as you spend quality time reading with them.

Children appreciate the quality time you spend with them reading books and enjoy good stories as well!

Here are some things you can do to make sure you get your daily readings with your children:



Read aloud to your children: books, newspaper and magazine articles, the back of the cereal box Wholesale Jerian Grant Jersey , labels on cans, or directions ? anything with appropriate printed material on it is

Read poems aloud together to learn about rhythm and repeated sounds in language.

Point to the words on the page when you read. Move your finger from left to right.

Listen to your children read homework or favorite stories to you every day.

Go to the library together and check out books. Be sure to ask the librarian for good books or to help you find what you need.

Have books, magazines, and papers around the house Wholesale Dennis Rodman Jersey , and let your child see that you like to read, too.

Encourage older children to read to younger children.

Help experienced readers talk and write about what they read.

Develop a quality nighttime ritual of reading a few books with your children.



Remember, giving your children a head start in life requires spending time with them ? and part of that time should be spent with a good book!
