Here are
many of the most common questions asked:
Q:
We haven't seen the conservatory we want in the
brochure does that mean we cant have it?
A:
Since all conservatories are made to order, you
can have anything that is physically achievable. To
find inspiration from some more unusual
conservatories, take a look at our style range.
Q:
Can i use my conservatory all year round?
A:
Modern conservatories, with insulated bases and
cavity walls, which feature double glazed units and
a thermally efficient roof, can be used all year
round. The thoughtful use of heating will also help.
Comfort levels can be further enhanced with diy
conservaglass, this is a revolutionary new type of
glazing that is specially warm in winter, by
retaining heat, and cool in summer by excluding
solar radiation.
Q:
Do we need planning permission or building
regulation approvals?
A:
Probably not. Planning permission isn't usually
required unless you are adding a conservatory to a
house that has already been extended. You may also
need to check the age of your home as developers of
new build properties sometimes have restrictions
placed upon them. Your chosen, it is law that you
need planning permission if you live in Scotland.
Q:
Do we need to install insulating double glazing
units and if so, which ones?
A:
On April 1st 2002, the government introduced Part L,
amending the building regulations for the first time
to require the replacement windows and doors to meet
tough new thermal performance standards. The new
standard applies when new doors replace an existing
window or when you change the doors between the
house and the conservatory, but not when you keep
the existing lockable French doors or patio doors
between a house and conservatory.
Q:
Do you make conservatories to order?
A:
Yes - every one of our conservatories is made to
measure and can be personalised with a host of
accessories and design features both inside and out.
