Spanish Lean To Conservatories

Spanish Lean To Also referred to as a Gullwing this conservatory features splay segments on the two corners creating a wide bay area and provides a hipped roof but with no central ridge. A popular choice with customers who are looking for something a little more interesting than a traditional Lean to conservatory.

Spanish Victorian Conservatories

Spanish Victorian A popular choice offering conventional Victorian styling but with a wider central bay segment to provide increased floor space. The roof detail follows traditional Victorian values and a double hipped version is also possible for joining properties where a height restriction exists.

Traditional Lean To Conservatories

Traditional Lean To Also know as a Mediteranean sunroom the lean to has long been considered the cheapest style of conservatory by those seeking a budget design. Whilst it is true that a low pitch of 2.5 degrees and polycarbonate roof will provide a very affordable conservatory the lean to can also be considerably enhanced by increasing the pitch of the roof to 10 degrees and adding a glass roof to create a stylish, modern home extension structure.

Edwardian Conservatories

Offering a square or rectangular foot print the Edwardian conservatory style provides maximum use of internal floor space whilst the roof has a central ridge and sloping front helping to provide a spacious and vaulted feel, allowing natural light to flood into the structure. Also referred to some as a Georgian style of conservatory it is also available with a rear box gutter and often used as a double hipped design when fitted to bungalows where height restrictions apply.

Victorian Conservatories

Most people associate the Victorian style as the original conservatory design dating from hundreds of years ago. Available with either 3 or 5 facets to the front the traditional styling suits older properties and creates a rounder shape to the front which gives the structure a classic styling. Depending on the actual width of the conservatory it may be possible to position french doors in one of the front segments.

Gable End Conservatories

Also referred to as Pavillion conservatories the Gable End style has a flat front creating a high roof feel whilst the square foot print maximises the use of the floor space. The front gable shaped frame can be supplied in many variants including the mullion style shown here and on wide spans will be supplied with gable support beams to aid structural stabiltiy.

P Shape Conservatories

P shape Edwardian or Victorian conservatories are often selected for large span designs and provide the opportunity to create two seperate areas that can be used for a dining room and a lounge area where you can enjoy views of your garden.

Double hipped conservatories

If you have a height restriction where the conservatory will join the house wall such as an upstairs window or you are adding the conservatory to a bungalow below the soffit then you will need to reduce the height of the roof at this point.
