Our bespoke conservatories are truly ‘tailor made’ to suit individual taste and need: designed and engineered to perfection. We employ experienced craftspersons, combining traditional skills and modern technology. We guarantee all of our work, giving you peace of mind now and in the future.
We have an extensive range of styles and products, giving us the opportunity to create a unique conservatory specific to a customer’s individual requirements.
THE CONSERVATORY
Window and Door Frames
The hand-built custom-designed frames are traditionally styled to elegant proportions from Brazilian Red Cedar ,Merranti, Sapele or a similar hardwood from a sustainable source and manufactured� using traditional� joinery methods . The style of joinery can be from our standard range or to your own design. Heights and widths will be tailored to give the best possible match to existing house windows and doors .
Roof
The roof can be fabricated from a powder coated �aluminium patent glazing system� or� hardwood� rafters with an external� powder coated aluminium capping system .
The exterior of� either �roof is designed to be virtually maintenance free and will normally only require periodic cleaning.
Roof, door and window glazing
For standard use �our conservatories are glazed� throughout with� 24 mm double glazed units using toughened glass . Where a property is Listed� we can provide alternative units� which would normally meet Local Authority requirements.
We are able to offer the full range of Pilkington and Saint-Gobain glass products� which �offer properties such as improved �insulation �, reduced UV transmission and self cleaning . Our expertise will� help you choose the best product for your project .
Ventilation
We can supply manual or automatic opening roof vents together with a wide range� of �sensors and programmers .
Furniture and fittings
Our doors� will normally be fitted with �espagnolette shoot bolts giving maximum security against forced entry together with� cabin hooks and slide bolts .
Opening� sashes will normally be fitted with casement stays and� fasteners.
There is a choice of� material� including brass and stainless steel� .
Rainwater goods
Ogee PVC guttering and round down pipes are standard fit with powder coated cast aluminium being a popular option
Where box gutters are required they will be fabricated in aluminium or formed using traditional lead sheet techniques .
Decoration
The conservatory frames will be painted with 2 coats of� high quality Sikkens paint prior to leaving our works with a third coat being applied on site to give a quality finish .This system requires a minimum of maintenance and being microporous �allows the timber to breath .
A full range of carefully selected� colours are available .
Guarantee
Our Conservatories �carry a comprehensive guarantee ranging from 5 �to 15 years depending� on the product . Full details are available on request.
THE BASE
The base foundation will be excavated by hand or small machine 450mm (18") wide and to a maximum depth of 1000mm (39"). The trench will then be almost filled with solid concrete to provide a substantial foundation.
The dwarf wall will be raised off the concrete foundation comprising an outer skin of faced brickwork, 75mm wide cavity, and an inner 100mm plastered block work skin .
Variations including� reclaimed� bricks, render or ragstone are also available .
The floor area will be formed from hard-core blinded with sand and topped with approximately 100mm (4") of solid concrete� followed by a screed finish suitable for most types of floor finish, including ceramic tiles, quarry tiles, carpet, etc.
Structurally� our bases� are� always built to Building Regulation� standards� which would be equally suitable for a full extension as we believe a sound base ensures no future movement� in the upper structure .
We are continually improving the design and performance� of our products.. We therefore reserve the right to vary specifications without notice.
