Conservatories are one of the most versatile rooms in the house, but because of most of their builds and locations, soundproofing them feels like an impossible task. From traffic to neighbours or even just wind, many sounds can easily travel through older or poorly insulated conservatory structures. That’s why soundproofing your conservatory has become such a popular upgrade for homeowners looking to create a soft and quiet space.
In this guide, we’ll explain why noise is such an issue in conservatories and the most effective ways to soundproof your conservatory.
Why Noise Pollution is Such a Problem in Conservatories
Unlike the traditional brick-built rooms that likely make up the rest of your home, conservatories are made up of a lot of glass and lightweight frames that aren’t always designed with modern standards in mind.
If your conservatory was built 10-20 years ago, it could have old glazing in the windows or inefficient roof materials which don’t meet energy standards at all.
Best Ways to Soundproof Your Conservatory
The first way that is a very effective step in creating a soundproof conservatory is upgrading to a solid or tiled roof. If your space still has a polycarbonate or thin glass roof, installing a thicker, solid roof would go miles. A solid roof is properly insulated, with the materials being able to absorb and deflect sound way better than the old-style.
Another upgrade you can do to soundproof your conservatory is to install acoustic or double-glazing. Thicker glass can really help how sounds move around the room, with the type of glazing used being able to reduce outside
noise by up to 40%.
An overlooked and visually-transformative way of soundproofing your conservatory space would be to consider an acoustic flooring option such as a thick rug, acoustic underlay or carpet tiles.
Additionally, newer window frame systems, made out of modern materials, with proper seals, can have a nice impact on both heat loss and noise transmission. This is very inexpensive, but highly impactful when trying to get the most out of soundproofing your conservatory.
The final way to soundproof your conservatory is by adding insulated curtains or blinds. While their impact isn’t nearly as big as changing
The windows or roof, adding curtains or blinds made out of thick, acoustic material, can have a dramatic effect.

Whether you use your conservatory as a dining area, home office or gym, reducing outside noise makes the space feel cosier and much more enjoyable. With options from minor upgrades to full replacements, there are soundproofing upgrades for every budget.
