Bristol, UK - Conservatory FAQ’s

Everything You Need to Know About Conservatories. Whether you have an older style conservatory that you are thinking of updating or wanting to add a conservatory to your home or property then our Conservatory FAQ’s will help.

What is a conservatory?

Traditionally, a conservatory was always a glass structure attached to a property which was built as a space to grow plants. They were built using glass or polycarbonate structures to act as a greenhouse environment where plants would thrive and grow. These days your conservatory walls can be panelled or have a dwarf bricked wall, glass is the most popular choice for a conservatory roof but you can also get a tiled insulated roof.

Home and property owners today use conservatories as extensions to their homes, offering additional living space.

Why would you have a conservatory?

You can separate them from your property with an internal door or you can open up your home into a conservatory making it flow from one area to another with an open plan feel. This is now the preferred option and is possible as new conservatories are very thermally efficient so you won’t waste energy bills with heat escaping through the structure, doors, windows and roof. A conservatory is normally a very light and open space that offers you easy access and views to your garden and the outside.

Can you use a conservatory all year round?

A new style conservatory that is modern looking inside and out and thermally efficient can transform your home’s living space offering an extra room that can be used all year round. In the past, most conservatories were too hot to use in the summer and too cold to use in the winter due to their polycarbonate or glass panels, however, new style conservatories are now built using bricks, panels and glazed glass (solid tiled roofs also available) making them great all year round.

What are the new style conservatories made from?

New style conservatories are made from either uPVC, aluminium or SIP panels which are pre-constructed panels produced to your specific design and measurements.

Can you have bi-fold doors on a conservatory?

You can have bi-fold doors fitted to a new conservatory and they are a popular choice now due to their opening versatility and ability to open your home into your garden and vice versa, along with allowing a huge amount of natural light into your conservatory.
