In South facing locations, we recommend Opal polycarbonate roofing as shown here. This is opaque, reducing glare and disguising any dirt that will appear. We can also supply Bronze or Clear polycarbonate or Glass. Our Polycarbonate roofs are 25mm thick SIX wall, which is approximately 30% warmer than the traditional 16mm triplewall.

Here you can see the most poular height of dwarf wall, at 2 feet. We can build any height of wall around your conservatory, or simply build straight from the baseworks, giving glass from floor to ceiling.

To further integrate your conservatory into your home, it is possible to remove any doors between the two, giving a light and airy feel to your lounge or dining room. This conservatory is 12 feet wide and 10 feet deep, plastered and decorated to match the rest of the lounge and uses 25mm six-wall polycarbonate in the roof, Pilkington `K` glass in all sealed units. Couple these features with our fully insulated baseworks (underfloor and cavity insulated), and you will have a conservatory that is probably better insulated than your home.

Drainage of roof water can cause potential problems, however in this situation a keen gardener has used it to his advantage with a water butt. Ideally, we will run the rainwater into a nearby downpipe, but sometimes a soakaway has to be dug

Here you can see the shape of our guttering system on the Ultraquick roofing system, this Edwardian conservatory has the optional Dentil moulding under the guttering.

All our Victorian style conservatories are step-flashed to the house wall. We use proper lead, and don`t rely on flash banding or silicone sealants! This photo also shows one of the range of crestings and finials available to decorate and customise your conservatory

Under certain circumstances, your conservatory will need a structural tie-bar fitted between the rafters, this strengthens the roof and stops any flexing in the front and side frames under heavy wind or snow loadings ( and makes a handy swing for the kids! )
