Internal Doors on Conservatory to Keep Cold Out

oligopoly

Hi. Moved into a doer-upper last winter. There is an old conservatory in need of repair (or demolition!) but it's connected on to the kitchen with no internal doors separating it from the main house. In winter the kitchen and lounge get very cold as cold air comes through the glass roof (and poor fitting external conservatory doors) and so I need to do something about it.

Money is tight but I'm going to contact some local companies for quotes. What's the terminology I'm looking for? Is it internal UPVC doors? French doors? Any idea what sort of money this might cost including fitting? And might be it better to employ the services of a general handyman rather than a door company? Thanks

Aren't you going to want external doors?  External French doors are the most common going into conservatories I think.

You want (must) exterior grade doors - This is to comply with Building Regulations and allow for a FENSA or CERTASS certificate to be issued. French doors are typically used depending on the width of the opening. When the installer comes to measure up & quote, you can discuss options with him/her.

Do not settle for anything less than exterior grade.

As said in the above posts, an exterior grade door, unless you're planning to replace the conservatory with an extension.
