A conservatory is one of the most impressive improvements that can be made to any home. A conservatory radically transforms the property, adding both value and living space. There are endless possibilities with the extra space for both work or social occasions. It can be used as a place to dine and entertain, a play room, a study or an office in which to work.

The historical development of conservatories is connected to the progress made in the manufacture of flat glass over the last two hundred years. Conservatories first appeared during the Victorian era of 19th Century Europe. At the time they were used for conserving botanical treasures from around the world. They were a method of displaying social status in a class system.

Today the role of the conservatory has changed. A consumer can select a wide variety of material such as aluminium, uPVC, hardwood, treated softwood and other styles. Developments in the technology of glass has also contributed to the popularity of today’s conservatories. Double glazing has virtually eliminated the condensation that was inevitable with the older single-glazed conservatories. The low-E glass guarantees an excellent level of thermal efficiency and special coated glass helps control solar rays.

A conservatory is very convenient to use, easy to maintain and fast to construct, taking approximately two weeks, and offering a fantastic extension to any home.
