Buying a conservatory can be a quite daunting task with so many conservatory suppliers and so many conservatory specifications to choose from not to mention the vast range of conservatory styles and sizes. Here are a few hints and tips from the Lancashire Conservatory Outlet to guide you through the maze and to help you make the right decision.
Styles:
Choosing the right style of a conservatory to suit your property, lifestyle and budget is the first and one of the most important steps. Make sure you consider what the upvc conservatory will mainly be used for: for example if you want a conservatory simply to bring your garden indoors or to feel like you are outside when it is too cold to be outside, a Victorian style may well be best for you. If you intend to use your conservatory as a functional room such as a dining room, study or lounge you may be well advised considering a Lean to Traditional/Sun lounge or an Edwardian as these styles will give better use of the floor area. To combine the best of both worlds you may want to consider a P shape conservatory.
Planning Permission:
Generally speaking you will require planning permission and need to comply with building regulations from your local authority, to avoid any surprises later on we would always advise that you contact your local planning office before you do anything else to make sure that there are no problems.
Suppliers : Choosing the right supplier for your pvcu conservatory is probably the most important and difficult decision of all, with so many to choose from making the right choice can be difficult. Here are some helpful hints and tips. Always choose a reputable supplier, one who has been around for a long time and/or who are part of large group (guarantees are only as good as the company who issue them).
Ask your supplier about the quality standards to which the conservatory and its components are manufactured to, particularly the roof as this is one of the most important parts of the conservatory. Ask about the reinforcing in the window frames, some companies only reinforce critical areas and some not at all! Check if all or any of the conservatory components have BBA approval and ask about the guarantees i.e. which components are covered and for how long. Ask if the locking mechanisms, handles, hinges, and shoot-bolts etc are manufactured to British Standards and if they are ABI (Association of British Insurers) approved. Lastly and equally important study the sales literature and presentation of the sales info pack as this is a good measure of the company and quality (first impressions count).
