Conservatories - Why a conservatory and why choose PVCu?

Conservatories are an increasingly popular choice for homeowners who want to add some extra living space. As a naturally lit extension to your home, conservatories can offer a welcome retreat with resplendent views of your garden and the great outdoors.

Unlike windows and doors, a professionally installed, quality conservatory will add real salient value to your home. The purpose of this section is to help you turn your dreams into reality and the following points will hopefully act as a guide in choosing what's right for you and your property.

Why a conservatory?

Conservatories have several advantages when compared with a conventional brick-built extension and depending on the style you choose, they can also work out to be considerably cheaper to construct.

In short they are:

• relatively quick to install and complete
• arguably more attractive and stylish
• ideal for those wanting to increase their living space without adversely affecting the amount of light that enters their home
• a multi-purpose room for all the family.
  

So why choose PVCu?

As mentioned at the very beginning of this Buyers Guide section, PVCu has the distinct advantages of being dimensionally stable (it won't swell, warp, crack or rot) and is also very durable. It is light, maintenance free and its multi-chambered frame design means it offers the best level of insulation over timber and aluminium.
