An essential consideration for all conservatories during our long hot summers must be how to control the climate inside the conservatory especially if it is subject to prolonged spells of direct sunlight. Direct heat from the sun will rapidly increase the temperature inside the conservatory to unbearable levels and could even prevent you from using your new living space on a hot summer's day.

Many customers choosing a glass roof for their conservatory will decide to add roof blinds at some point after installation whether it is to enhance privacy if their property is overlooked or to provide additional shade from direct sunlight.  The latest tinted solar control glass roofs such as Aqua Green offer up to 78% reflection of heat from direct sunlight but if the conservatory faces south protection from the glare of the sun will also be an important consideration.

Conservatories are currently exempt from building regulations subject to certain criteria such as the position, size and intended use of the conservatory.  However there are changes being proposed..

Self build conservatories are a very cost effective solution of adding a conservatory to your home and offer superb value for money especially if you are happy to undertake the installation yourself.

The demand for coloured conservatories is becoming stronger with homeowners looking to differentiate their new living space from their main home rather than simply match the colour of their existing double glazed pvcu windows and doors.

Folding sliding doors are becoming a very popular upgrade choice for our conservatory customers offering the opportunity to create a much wider unobstructed opening than traditional french double doors and seamlessly merge your conservatory with your garden.
