If you've noticed conservatory furniture before, whether it be online, in a shop, at a friends or your own house, you'll have noticed that it is usually made in a different way to the furniture in the rest of the home.
Why shouldn't I use normal home furniture in my conservatory?
When the temperature outside takes a dip (it has also been known to swell here in the UK, too), you'll notice that it will also happen in the conservatory. This is due to their lack of insulation allowing any heat to conduct itself outside.
Similarly, if the temperature does in fact increase or the sun shows itself, heat will easily radiate itself inside through the transparent walls and roof.
These large variances in temperature, coupled with the often less air-tight and damp resistance mean that normal home furnitures less durable construction vastly decreases their potential life span.
As well as this, heat transfer by radiation isn't the only problem that the sun can pose, but its ultra-violet rays have a tendency to fade materials colours.
Furniture designed for use in the conservatory
Conservatory furniture is usually made from woven woods, including the most popular, Rattan, as well as others such as Wicker, Banana leaf, but may also be made from man-made materials such as Resin.
This type of construction is more apt for dealing with the conditions found in conservatory's, such as humid or cold atmospheres, and are generally more tough and durable.
