Conservatories are so popular as they are a cost effective way of expanding your home and gives you a unique room within your house, and can be used any time of the year as if you were sat in your own home.
They can be used for many things, kids parties, dining area, chill out room, office and more, for you to enjoy in whatever way you want.
The great thing is there are so many different designs of conservatories, many of which you can design yourself, therefore you can still keep the feel and style of your home, picking a conservatory that mirrors the style that you already have.
You don't have to have PVC-U, you can have a wooden design depending on what you are looking for and how much you want to spend.
Contact a conservatory specialist in Somerset for more information on how they can help you expand you home in to your garden. |

Somerset
has many conservatory
companies many highly
reputable, names change
for design though and
depending on what conservatory
company you go to, the
names of the various conservatory
styles can differ.
Victorian
conservatory designs are
sometimes called Edwardian
or Georgian and vice versa.
Also there is the confusion
between Lean-to's and
Home Extenders. These
are essentially the same
thing, the difference
in names comes purely
down to marketing.. So
be aware that terminologies
can vary.
To
be sure you get the conservatory
you want, you will want
to discuss the requirements
and details of the conservatory
with the supplier. For
example, you are looking
for "a bell ended/bay
fronted Victorian style
conservatory with a pitched
roof".
To
add to the confusion,
suppliers may refer to
three bay fronted Victorian
conservatories as five
sided conservatories (the
left and right hand sides
of the conservatory count
as the extra sides). Whilst
five bay fronted can also
be referred to as seven
sided conservatories.
Above
all remember, your the
customer, if you are confused
about anything your supplier
or designer is telling
you, do not be afraid
to ask.
Your
local Somerset supplier should be able
and willing to go into
the 'fundamentals' of
your conservatory, you
may wish to consider changing
your supplier.
The
photographs and illustrations
on this page will give
you an idea of the most
common styles and configurations
of conservatories that
are currently available
so that you will have
a better understanding
of what conservatory you
will be getting without
getting bogged down in
the differing terminology. |

Somerset Conservatory Specialists give simple advice on the advantages of having a conservatory fitted.
Conservatory Advice
Conservatories
have historically been described as greenhouses - in which plants are
arranged aesthetically for display, as at a botanical
garden. Today however, conservatories are quite
different. Modern manufacturing methods ensure that
we now have more choice and more reliable alternatives.
Your conservatory need not be a cold damp space when
it's winter or an unbearable HOT HOUSE in the summer.
Conservatories are becoming an increasingly popular
solution to extend your home.
The advantages of Conservatories:
For a lot of conservatories you don't need planning
permission.
You don't need to move home to get a bigger living
area.
A conservatory adds value to your home.
Conservatories can be very versatile and give much needed extra space, as
you can use it for almost anything you like, from
a breakfast room to an evening entertaining area.
To get the most from your new conservatory, it is
important to think before construction about what
you will use it for the most. This will not only help
establishing the shape and size of your conservatory,
but, more importantly, will help you choose which
materials to use for construction. For example, if
you would use it as a breakfast room, you would like
it to be nice and comfortable in the morning, in summer
and winter. This would mean that you would want to
keep the conservatory warm in winter, but need protection
from the early morning sun in the summer.
Conservatories need a lot about temperature control and this can be done by heating and using blinds, but have
you ever thought about how much your choice of construction
materials can help you? Here we will give you an overview
on the materials best suited for insulation and construction
of your conservatory.

Conservatory Materials
|
Somerset Conservatory Specialists describe the choice of materials available for your perfect conservatory.
As more and more people in Somerset want to use their conservatory
as an all year round, comfortable room, it is imperative
to insulate and ventilate your conservatory properly
to reach the desired temperature level. And as most
of your conservatory will be of glass, it is very
important to choose the right type.
Low E glass or Pilkington "K" Glass varies
from normal clear glass in that one side of the glass
has a special metal coating, technically known as
a low emission, or Low E coating. This microscopic
metal coating (which is almost indistinguishable from
normal clear glass) allows through short-wave radiation,
like sunlight, but reflects long-wave radiation, such
as heat from fires and radiators, back into your conservatory
making it easier to keep warm. As the Low E. coating
on the glass actually makes the surface warmer to
the touch, condensation is also reduced. The Pilkington
K glass has been proven to give up to 30% better insulation
than other double-glazed windows. Pilkington K Glass
is a brand name for a type of Low E glass.
Argon filled units are the ultimate in glass-insulated
units. Argon combined with Pilkington "K"
or Low E glass is just about as good as it gets in
terms of insulation. We are now talking as good as
or better than most brick built extensions in terms
of insulation. Not particularly expensive (only £10
-£15 per sealed unit in the UK) and well worth
the extra expense. Please note that Argon filled units
combined with "K" or Low E glass will give
the best results. On its own the benefits are only
marginal.
25 mm Polycarbonate provides perhaps the best insulating
roof option for conservatories today. Most standard
conservatories come with 16mm polycarbonate (a few
only come with 10-mm polycarbonate). For a little
extra you can upgrade to the better insulating option
of 25-mm polycarbonate. With its six skins and reinforcing
webbing, it has an approximate "U" value
of 1.6 as opposed to 2.3 for 16-mm polycarbonate.
It is available in clear, bronze tint and opal options.
Glass Roofs are an essential for those of us who
like to see the stars at night! Living in Somerset, what better place to enjoy your new conservatory all year round. It is, however, a
fair amount more expensive and much heavier than polycarbonate.
You will also almost certainly need some form of shading.
That said, it is no doubt one of the best options
- very classy and inspiring. But as with all glass
in your conservatory, Low E Glass or Pilkington "K"
is recommended. It is also possible to get tinted/anti-sun
glass.
