One of the first considerations to
identify, is the positioning of your
conservatory
The orientation of
your conservatory will obviously depend on the existing layout of
your home combined with your daily requirements for this new
additional living space Once this is decided upon for your
conservatory design the question of
size and shape come into play It may be possible to go for the
popular designs such as Edwardian or Victorian or even P shapes. Perhaps
there are specific architectural considerations on your home that
should be incorporated into the
conservatory design for example
gables, hipped roofs,
Window design such as gothic arches or
leaded patterns and coloured lights. The choice of material for your
conservatory must then be decided upon would you like upvc or wood
this will also be a main consideration to keep within your budget as
you can imagine upvc would be cheaper than hardwood.
For a more traditional look a quality
hardwood Conservatory is the option to go
for. The companies that offer this may be more expensive but as with
all things you get what you pay for and for that little extra spent
now benefits could well be reaped in the future.
Once the materials are chosen you can
then look at the interaction of your choices and the prevailing
weather conditions that your
Hardwood Conservatory may have to deal with, if you are south
facing you could have extreme heat to deal with, if north then the
opposite can apply. With the latest developments in glass technology
for your
Hardwood Conservatory these issues can easily be dealt with.
Also with the opening on doorways you need to have them in the most
beneficial places for access but you must keep in mind that you do
not wish to create too many corridors through your
Hardwood Conservatory as these will have to be kept clear of any
of your furnishing One other thing with doors is which way do you
wish to go from the
conservatory to the garden and which way would
facilitate this in the most comfortable manner.
Now you have made these choices you
can then decide on the colour. Would you like the traditional white
or woodgrain on upvc or perhaps you would prefer the off whites,
which are becoming increasingly popular or a green variation a
perfect compliment to the garden. You can get coloured upvc but not
many have been coating with these colours as yet still the best way
forward with those special colours will be a
Hardwood Conservatory
painted in the many variations available.
There are certain conditions relating to
listed buildings and conservation areas that will have an impact on
the
conservatory design, choice of material
and colour, these would need to be allowed for if your in those
types of areas
After this we can look at heating
lighting and flooring
One of the most efficient forms of
heating in
Conservatories would be electric convector heaters as
they can be installed floor mounted or wall mounted for a more
permanent position, you could look at extending the house central
heating but this will mean you will need to know how much spare
capacity the boiler has and if its up to the requirements needed, in
many cases its not and this can mean the added expense of a new
boiler. There are the underfloor heating options but again if they
are to be fed off the existing boiler you must check the boiler is
up to the job. You could opt for electric under floor heating this
is self contained and independently controlled.
Lighting can be as simple as a plug in
side lamp or can be as complicated as you wish to go. Floor
coverings can be ceramic floor tiles, linoleum or natural slate
incorporating intricate details around the edge. The main
consideration is that whatever option you decide on it needs to be
hardwearing and practical and easily cleaned!
