ryDeciding which style of conservatory is rightfor you is fun - but are some key things toconsider. Use our tips to help get everythingjust right…
1. UseWhat do you hope to get out of your new room?Will it be a study perhaps? Or a play-room?An office? Or maybe just an extra space to relax in.Whatever you choose, its use will determine howlarge you need your new space to be, and whichlayout will best accommodate your needs.
2. MaterialsYour new space should fit seamlessly with yourlifestyle. Materials such as PVC-u are incrediblyhardwearing and low maintenance. No need forstep ladders and re-painting, oil on the hinges anda wipe down every now and again will keep yourconservatory looking like new.
3. PositioningThink about the position of your conservatory. Those that face the South willreceive the most sun during the day. If this is thecase, you may need to consider extra ventilationand possibly blinds in order to block out some ofthe harsher rays.
4. SizeOnce you’ve made a decision on your design, itmight be best to check the dimensions of bothyour house and your garden. A conservatoryshould be an extension of your current livingspace, and shouldn’t take up valuable gardenspace.
5. GlazingNew advancements have been made to ensure theglass used in conservatories works its hardest forthe homeowner. Keeping you cooler in summerand warmer in winter means a conservatory isn’tjust a seasonal room.
6. Planning permissionIf you’re building a conservatory in England orWales, you will not usually need planningpermission. However, it is always better to be safethan sorry. If you are in any doubt always check as early as you can with your local council.
