Bespoke Design Conservatories
There is no denying that
the range of our conservatories is expansive,
but what if you want a style that’s
unique to you? No problem. We have the
ability to produce totally bespoke conservatories
based on your own particular requirements,
whether that’s an especially large
span construction or a conservatory that’s
based on unusual dimensions do to the
nature of the site.
All the conservatories we
supply and install are fully made to measure
conservatories. When you combine this
with advances in conservatory roof design
and technology over the last several years
it gives us an extremely flexible drawing
board to create the conservatory of your
dreams. It is possible connect different
designs together such as an Edwardian
and Victorian combination. We have completed
several completely bespoke designs which
you will not see anywhere else in the
country. In the difficult site section
of our conservatory menu there are some
photos of a conservatory we did combining
bespoke technology and our ability to
build on very difficult sites. With advances
in glazing rafters, tie bars and portal
frames it is now possible to create large
rooms for any purpose, in 2004 we were
the first company to construct a conservatory
for an exercise swimming pool imported
from America.
As with all our roof
systems this design can be glazed using
glass or polycarbonate. We use 25mm polycarbonate
as standard however they can be upgraded
to 35mm polycarbonate.
All our conservatories are
designed and installed to meet your personal
requirements for the new addition to your
home. Different areas from our full product
range can be included in each design from
roof glazing to decorative finishing touches
to ensure the conservatory is both useable
and practical all year round.
A popular design option
is to include additional brickwork in
the conservatory often in the form of
a full height or a ¾ high wall
to one elevation as a means of feeling
completely cut of from the boundary of
a property.
Traditional Conservatory
Style:
Whether you go for Victorian,
Edwardian, “P” Shape or a
totally bespoke design there are several
ways to design the side wall layout of
a conservatory. The modern way of designing
the sidewall frames is to run a 74mm horizontal
transom bar approximately 450mm from the
top of the window frames. This then allows
for small top opening vents to be positioned
to suit the design of the conservatory
or possibly all along to keep the glass
lines the same (the glass in an opening
vent is smaller than in a fixed frame).
The traditional way of designing
the sidewall way frames for a conservatory
is to have no horizontal transom bar.
This allows for one single pane of glass
per conservatory section. This is an attractive
design and there are no obstructions when
looking into the garden.
There is one small constraint
with this design. When this sidewall design
is used with a 600mm dwarf wall the normal
frame height will be 1500mm (approx depending
on site details) and this dimension is
out of manufacturing tolerances for a
normal casement window. However Tilt &
Turn windows can be manufactured to larger
dimensions than casement windows so this
is our preferred choice. Tilt & Turn
windows also provide excellent ventilation
when in the tilt position.
If you are unsure of the
best design for your home our conservatory
designers will be happy to produce photo
Cad drawings for both designs.
This is an example
of a traditional side wall design in a
“P” Shape style of conservatory
we installed early in 2005.
