When your self build conservatory is delivered to your property, it is important to remember that for ease of handling and erection, the conservatory frames will be unglazed. The glass which is all toughened, requires special treatment until you are ready to install it.
Toughened glass is extremely strong when in the frames, but the edges are very delicate when uninstalled. The edges of each unit of glass must be kept well away from the likes of a concrete floor or similar. We recommend that wo....

We are asked why we do not use prefabricated aluminium or steel bases for our self build conservatories. The reasons are quite simple. A well constructed concrete base or well built footings and dwarf wall will hold your conservatory in place for its entire life.

After the design of your conservatory has been agreed, an important consideration is what the roof will consist of. For low pitch lean to roofs, 35mm polycarbonate is the usual choice, and comes in a variety of colours and variants, including heatguard. This reflects the sun in the summer whilst retaining more heat in the cooler times.
For most other designs, such as Victorian, Gable ended and Edwardian, there is more choice. You can use polycarbonate, or for superior sound proofing, 28mm tough....

As most of our conservatories have opening out French doors, the position of the doors is important. If you intend to have opening windows to each side of the French doors, the door sashes will need to be fitted with 90 degree restrictors.
This will prevent the door sashes from swinging past the 90 degree position and hitting the open window sashes. Similarly, if the French doors are to be fitted next to the house wall, it is important that there are no drain pipes or other objects for the sash....

LEAN TO CONSERVATORY
A lean to conservatory is a modern style characterised by a slanted roof braced on the top elevation by the wall of the property it is attached to.A lean to conservatory lends itself to modern buildings and architecture and the relatively simple roof design can be less expensive to build than a conservatory with a pitched or flat roof. They can be impracticable if there is insufficient height available at the wall of the property to give sufficient slant and headro....

The Lean-To style is for those who prefer the clean understated lines of a Mediterranean sunroom. Traditional or contemporary, this style is ideal for properties with limited space under the eaves, or an awkward area in which to place a conservatory.
The pitch of the roof is variable, normally from 2.5 degrees right up to 30 degrees, making the consevatory very versatile. With a low pitch roof, it can easily fit under the eaves of a bungalow, whilst the steeper pitches can be made to match the....

PVCu or uPVC?
We are often asked “Are your windows PVCu or uPVC ?” or “What is the difference between PVCu and uPVC ?”
Quite simply, there is no difference. In Britain we used to talk about uPVC (unplasticised Polyvinyl Chloride), wheras the rest of Europe would refer to PVCu (Polyvinyl Chloride - unplasticised). However, since the end of the 1980s we have fallen in line with the rest of the continent and so now also call it PVCu (or to be more technically correct PVC-U). Pure PVCu is, in fact....

A conservatory really is one of the most significant investments you will ever make as a homeowner and there are many factors that will influence the style of conservatory you choose: which direction it should face, how spacious it should be and, of course, is it in keeping with the architectural style of your home and its surroundings?Whether you are looking for a classical period style, or a modern, contemporary feel, we combine traditional craftsmanship with state-of-the-art manufacturing ....

The Victorian is the most popular style of conservatory, with a versatility that makes it suitable for many house styles. Its distinguishing architectural features, such as a bay front, give a curved appearance and a steeply pitched roof and ornate ridge details give this style of conservatory a more classical appearance.
The Victorian is available in three facet - a bay front that has three main windows that give a curved appearance, widely angled for maximum space, and the five facet style ....

Always calculate your internal floor size when ordering a conservatory. Most conservatory companies will quote you for the external area, but it's the internal floor area most people are interested in.
Get about three quotations but don't go for the cheapest quotation. The cheapest supplier will rarely give you the best product or service.
Depending on the shape of the conservatory, it is generally not advised to put doors in the front of the conservatory, as it creates a corridor, wh....

Planning permission - Do we need Planning Permission or Building Regulation Approvals? Probably not. Planning Permission is not usually required unless you are adding a conservatory to a house that has already been extended. You may also need to check if your house is a 'new build' as developers sometimes have restrictions placed upon them. For Building Regulation requirements, here's a quick summary of the basic facts: In England and Wales, Building Regulations are not required as long as the c....

In a word “YES” but its not going to be the easiest of jobs. To start with you need to go back to the original firm that you purchased it from and then give them the option to quote for the work. This is for a number of reasons, they will have your original drawings and will be aware of any system upgrades from the profile company that you have decided to have an upgrade from.
I would say however in most cases it is far easier to take the orignal one down and start again. The complexities of jo....

PVCu versus Aluminium for Bi Fold Doors
There are alternative materials that can be used in the manufacture of Bifold Doors but in our opinion the optimum material is Aluminium.
We list our reasons below why we think PVCu is a distant second for your consideration.
Bifold Doors require very accurate sizes to be manufactured. When joining PVCu section by fusion welding there is always a greater degree of finished size tolerance compared with Aluminium.
PVCu is known to expand and contract ....

Bi Fold provides high-quality, secure aluminum bi fold doors that are unlike any other product on the market, today. While patio doors are comparable for use with larger apertures, patio door designs cannot provide the same amount of space behind an entry. Instead, they deliver, on average, 66 percent remaining clear opening space, while bi fold doors deliver maximum accessibility at 90 percent. Therefore, a standard four-metre wide bi fold door provides 3600mm remaining openi....

Most but not all conservatories will sit quite happily on a simple concrete slab base that will serve both as a foundation and floor structure. If the ground is covered by a deep layer of topsoil it will be better to dig trench foundations down into the natural subsoil. Even with foundations under your walls you will still need to support the floor slab on a sound base and the construction of a conservatory is no different in this. Ground-bearing conservatory bases are usually in the region of 1....

If you look at most conservatory roof designs you might be forgiven for thinking that Victorian conservatories all had ornate ridges with elaborate finials at the apex of a low hexagonal-shaped end with all the windows having a line of fanlight vents beneath the eaves and with a transom beneath each one. In fact conservatories and conservatory roofs of this era looked nothing like this design; instead, larger roof-to-wall windows interspersed with a few fanlights were more common along with s....
