Any ideas anyone?
Our son (down in England) has a conservatory which is too hot, he's looked into various methods of keeping it cool, i.e. blinds, reflective sheets, etc but it's expensive, now he's toying with the idea of simply cutting one inch thick sheets of polystyrene - putting a sheet of reflective silver foil on them and fixing them up between the Upvc beams against the existing glass.. would this work? (forget aesthetics!)

He could move the whole thing to Caithness ;)

The conservatory will be heated using 99% radiated heat from the sun. Which means that block out the sun from it and it wont heat up.

Therefore all you need to do is put some reflective material on the roof to keep the sun out and it will stay coolish.
