Conservatory Idea Guide
Conservatory Funding Funding of your upvc conservatory? Approximately 90% of people who purchase a upvc conservatory borrow from a bank, building society or use savings. We would suggest that building societies offer the lowest interest rates for borrowing and are well worth perusing. Conservatory Designs Always have a look through some of our upvc conservatory brochures to see what design of conservatory catches your eye before you meet with any conservatory company. One important thing to remember, the conservatory should blend in and be in keeping with the style with your house and not dominate the rear of the house.
What size of Conservatory? Firstly what do you require the conservatory for? Perhaps a dining room where you may wish to consider a wide conservatory of an approximate size say 5 mts x 3.5 mts so you can place a table across the conservatory and enjoy the garden views when entertaining, or something smaller say 3 mts x 3 mts with some comfortable conservatory cane furniture to relax to read the Sunday papers and having an afternoon nap, if you would like to view some conservatory furniture visit our conservatory furniture page fantastic promotional discounts up to 40%. Marking out the outside of your conservatory is always a good idea so you can see how big it will be. Set out this area with garden canes or string lines, then put some garden furniture in this area to represent your proposed furniture layout, this should give you some idea of how big the conservatory will be and you can see how much garden it will take up. This will help you decide on how big your conservatory will need to be. Also it will help you deciding on your patio and landscaping arrangements. What design is best? When considering a design always think width not projection, see the conservatory below, this will enable you to place a table across the width of your upvc conservatory so you will be able to view the Garden or arrange your furniture to take full advantage of the garden views. To see the latest conservatory designs just visit our conservatory design page. The Position of French doors is dependent upon design of the conservatory. French doors positioned to the front of the conservatory work very well especially when fully open on a sunny day when the lawn has just been cut, better than any Airwick! However, you may wish to consider doors to the side of the conservatory allowing furniture to be placed around the front of the conservatory therefore giving access to the side path or patio the choice is yours.
Position of conservatory If your conservatory faces north you should be okay during summer as your house will give shade to the conservatory. But winter it may be cold as it will not get a high degree of solar gain so you may wish consider 25 mm Pilkington K Glass and argon filled seal units to give a high degree of insulation. Read more information on conservatory insulation. Like wise south facing conservatories will be very bright and warm in the summer and will require a high degree of ventilation, i.e. roof vents and low level opening windows. Consider fitting conservatory blinds will give your conservatory an air of elegance, plus helping to keep your conservatory cool and prevent the sun's glare. You will be surprised how bright it is in your conservatory when the sun is out and how conservatory blinds can help. To read more on conservatory blinds visit our conservatory blinds page. Quality of workmanship Before deciding on your supplier it is always a good idea to ask to see some of their previous work and speak to one or two of their clients. Ask if they kept to the original price or was there extra work, if so at what cost? Did they complete the work on time and was the site clean and tidy?
