A simpler and cheaper option would be to get a conservatory installed at your existing property. The conservatory was in the past seen as a building used for horticultural purposes, but now it is very commonly used as way of increasing living space. It can help enlarge the size of downstairs rooms and is multi-purpose, meaning that it can be turning into living room space or perhaps somewhere guests can gather when you have that next cocktail party.

It must be pointed out that it is a myth that conservatories are only useable during the summer months. A good PVC conservatory with double glazing and good heating and ventilation can be used all year round for every occasion. You will find that it is a great place to relax and because the room gets flooded with direct sunlight, it can make for a very cosy feel and lovely ambience. It’s also an ideal place from which to view the garden.

There are many different varieties of conservatories available on the market, so you will find that there is a conservatory to fit the design, size and look of any home. There is also a huge range of conservatory furniture available so you can arrange your new living space to your own taste. An added bonus is that by adding a conservatory to your home can actually increase the value of your property and make it more appealing to buyers.

So if you fancy a conservatory from Conservatory Outlet then get one installed now and be the envy of your neighbours – freephone 0800 915 8844 today!

What will your conservatory be used for?
By identifying what you plan to use your new conservatory for it will help you to make some important decisions such as how big it needs to be, where it is going to located and what materials it will be made from. Conservatories can be used for a variety of different purposes such as living areas, dining rooms, studies and playrooms to name but a few of the possible uses.

What style of conservatory would you like?
There are a number of different styles of conservatories to choose from and some of the most popular include Victorian, Edwardian and Mediterranean. A major influence when choosing a style is that it is important that your new conservatory will fit in and compliment the current style of your property. Do your research and find out about the different styles available to ensure that you find the right conservatory for you.

What material do you want your conservatory to be made of?
Conservatories are generally made of wood or uPVC. Over recent years uPVC has become very popular as it is far cheaper and requires very little maintenance unlike wood which requires treating every couple of years to prevent it from rotting. uPVC conservatories are also fitted with double glazing as standard which makes them far more energy efficient and cheaper to run.

Will you need planning permission?
The majority of conservatories do not require planning permission. However, it is always best to check with your local planning office first particularly if you are installing a large conservatory or you are in a conservation area.

Will you require building regulation approval?
Most conservatories in England and Wales which are added to residential properties do not require building regulation approval as long as a number of conditions are met including:
• The roof of the conservatory is completely transparent or translucent
• The floor area of the conservatory does not exceed 30sqm
• The conservatory is permanently separated from the rest of the property by a door.

Again if you are in any doubt check with your local council.

How should you furnish your conservatory?
You can furnish your conservatory with virtually any kind of furniture you like. However when choosing furniture is worth considering how hot the conservatory will get and the amount of natural sunlight as some materials will fade. For these reasons wicker and wrought iron furniture remain popular favourites.

What time scales should you allow for the installation of your conservatory?
All conservatories are different and the amount of time it takes to install a conservatory can vary greatly but the average installation time for a conservatory is usually no longer than one week.

When it comes to choosing a style of conservatory there is now more choice available than ever. Styles range from classic to contemporary and below are some of the most popular styles available.

Lean-to Conservatories
Or sometimes referred to as sun rooms or Mediterranean conservatories these are the most basic of all the styles and will suit virtually any property. They are highly versatile and are often used where space is limited. They have a shallow sloping roof which makes them ideal for bungalows where a pitched roof would not be suitable.

Edwardian Conservatories
Or sometimes described as Georgian conservatories. These are easily recognisable due to their square base and pitch roof. The square base makes the best use of the space available maximising the living space.  There are also many customisations you can make to an Edwardian conservatory such as stained glass and coloured uPVC allowing you to make you conservatory truly unique.

Victorian Conservatories
Victorian conservatories are one of the most popular styles of conservatory. They come with a pitched roof and have a bay window at the front made up of either three or five tilted windows giving an octagonal appearance. This is one of the most traditional styles of conservatory and hives your home a classic feel.

These are just a few of the many different styles of conservatory available whether you are looking for something traditional or a little more contemporary a conservatory makes a fantastic addition to any home. They provide extra living space which has a unique feel like no other room in your home.

It is very easy to get carried away when you are choosing a style of a conservatory but try to remember to think about the existing style of your home. If your house is built from brick then adding a conservatory with a dwarf wall built from Yorkshire stone will look out of place. Likewise if you live in a Victorian property then a Victorian conservatory will probably look better than a Edwardian style conservatory.

To be ensure that your new conservatory will be big enough it is important to establish now what your conservatory will be used for. Whether it is going to be an office, playroom, dining room or extra living room will influence how big your conservatory will need to be. It can also be useful to mark the conservatory out in your garden this will help you to visualise the size and where you want the doors etc to go.

When it comes to choosing materials try to stretch your budget as much as you can and get the best quality you can. Although this may be a stretch at the time it will pay dividends in the future and will be well worth it. Make sure you install adequate heating now so that your conservatory will be warm in the winter. Likewise there needs to be plenty of ventilation to ensure that your conservatory is cool in the summer.

A lot of the advice above is common sense and the most important thing is to allow yourself plenty of time to choose your new conservatory and not rush into any big decisions. Although it can be an  exciting time and you will want your new conservatory as soon as possible by taking your time and doing your research will ensure that you get the perfect conservatory which will provide you with hours of pleasure for many years to come.

In countries with warmer climates often they have verandas on their houses which are used as a place to relax and enjoy the surrounding landscape. However as verandas are open to the elements they would be of little for much of the year here in the UK. Unlike conservatories, verandas often stretch around the entire house whereas conservatories are usually a room like structure which protrudes from the back of a property. Also verandas differ from conservatories as they have solid roofs which are designed to give shade and keep the house cool in the heat of the day. Conservatories on the other hand have glazed roofs which are designed to allow the maximum amount of natural light into the space below.

In the UK we are well known for our climate and wind, rain and snow are not uncommon. The beauty of a conservatory is that it allows you to enjoy your garden and the landscape beyond no matter what the weather is like outside.

Over the last twenty years we have seen a revolution in conservatory design. Originally conservatories were constructed of an iron frame and single glazed glass. This meant they were very expensive to heat and required a large amount of maintenance to prevent them from rotting. However thanks to the inventions of double glazing and uPVC modern conservatories are far better insulated making them far cheaper to heat and are very low maintenance.

Conservatories are not more popular than they have ever been. They make a fantastic addition to any home and make your home a great place to live. As they add extra living space to a property they have even been found to add value to a property.

Conservatories are one of the most affordable ways of adding extra living space to a home and often they are far cheaper than people realise. The great thing about conservatories is that they can be used for virtually any purpose. So if you need a second living room, a dining area or even a playroom for the kids then a conservatory could solve your problem.

In days gone by conservatories had a reputation of been too hot in the summer and too cold in the winter. However thanks to improvements in technology modern conservatories are built using uPVC and double glazing meaning they are far more energy efficient and are cheaper to heat. They are also usually fitted with larger French doors which can be opened in the summer to allow the air to flow and keep your conservatory cool.

uPVC conservatories also require very little maintenance. Traditional timber framed conservatories need painting every year to prevent them from rotting whereas uPVC requires no such maintenance just a wipe with soapy water every now and again will keep them looking great for many years to come.

There are also a wide selection of styles of conservatory to choose from ranging from Victorian conservatories to Mediterranean conservatories meaning there is something to suit virtually any style of property.

Conservatories are often perceived differently by different people and have many different uses. For example, some people use their conservatory as a breakfast or dining room, for others the conservatory serves as a place to play and have fun with the kids, while others consider it to be a space where they can relax. Being an extension of your living space, conservatories can also make a perfect sunroom, as they provide you with ample sunlight all year round.

Conservatory Outlet – add value to your home with the name you know you can trust.

In the past conservatories and orangeries were built using the materials available at the time glass, metal and stone. However modern conservatories and orangeries are built using materials such as uPVC and double glazing. These materials not only make modern uPVC conservatories and orangeries more affordable but they are also far more efficient and effective structures. uPVC is not only much lower maintenance than metal but it also will not corrode like metal. Double glazing is not only very strong making it much harder to break but it is also a great insulator making it much cheaper to heat modern uPVC conservatories and orangeries. This means that modern conservatories can be used at any time of year.

Although conservatories and orangeries were originally built as a place for growing plants they have developed considerably and they are now used by people for a whole variety of purposes. Although for many people their main function is still to bring the outdoors indoors they combine this with a multitude of uses such as an extra living space, dining room, office, playroom the choices are limitless. uPVC conservatories and orangeries add usable space like no other room in your house and therefore have become very desirable and actually add value to your property.
