The New Year is already over a month old and those cold dark days are not yet near an end. However, that does not mean you cannot start thinking about the summer ahead and what better way to prepare for it than by purchasing a conservatory for your back garden.

There is nothing quite like having a barbecue on those long hot summer days with your nearest and dearest and what better way to celebrate than by inviting them in for drinks in the conservatory. It is the perfect location for such special occasions.

But do not be fooled into thinking that a conservatory is only of use during the summer months. Because of the way they are constructed and installed with double glazed windows, they will retain warmth during the winter months, but also will not be too hot during the summer, so you get the best of both worlds.

It can be so frustrating not being able to make use of the garden during the winter. This can be resolved as a conservatory is the perfect spot from which to admire your garden, you will feel like you can almost touch and smell it.

If you are worried that the shape and style of your house may not be able to be complimented by a conservatory, then fear not as there are many different types of conservatory on the market. A conservatory can also typically add around 5% onto the value of a property, something especially useful if you ever decide to sell.

The Victorian conservatory is very popular as it suits most house styles, an Edwardian conservatory offers great floor space, a Lean To conservatory is perfect for those with limited space or why not create a Bespoke conservatory to suit you families individual needs.

In Europe conservatories have been popular since the early 18^th century. The basic idea behind a conservatory is that is it a building constructed mainly of glass giving a light and airy feel with fantastic view of the garden and landscape beyond. Originally conservatories were used as a place to house exotic plants which would not survive outside in the harsh north European climate. However modern conservatories are used a variety of purposes and are seen as been additional living space.

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.

Since the invention of uPVC and double glazing conservatories have become a very popular way of adding extra living space to your home. Due to their popularity there are now more styles and designs to choose from than ever. When adding a conservatory to your home it is important that you choose a style that complement s your home and is suitable for what you intend to use the conservatory for. Below are some of the most popular styles of conservatory currently on the market.

Probably the most popular style of conservatory is the Victorian conservatory. They are highly versatile and are suitable for a variety of properties. They have a pitched roof giving them an airy feel and have angled windows at the front creating a bay window effect.

Edwardian or Georgian conservatories are similar in style to Victorian conservatories however they do not have the bay window. These are popular as they use the maximum amount of floor space available making them as big as possible.

Lean to or Mediterranean conservatories are one of the cheapest styles of conservatory. They have a shallow sloping roof meaning they can be used on properties where there are height restrictions such as bungalows. They are also one of the easiest styles of conservatory to construct and are highly versatile.

L shaped, T shaped, P shaped and B shaped conservatories. These conservatories have a floor shape which represents the letter they are named after. They are usually large conservatories and due to their shape can easily be divided into areas allowing them to be used for several purposes at one time.

Conservatory Outlet offer fantastic rates on Conservatories and have created a list of 10 reasons to buy a conservatory.

1/ Conservatories offer some great features

What are you looking to accomplish with buying a conservatory? If you’re looking at your options for change you can move, build an extension or add a conservatory.

In the current housing climate the housing industry is fairly weak, therefore selling your property could be a difficult task. Adding a conservatory will not only give you extra space, it will increase the value of your home by a substantial amount when you decide the time is right to move on.

2/ What are you using it for?

It is important to think what you will be using it for, whether an office, a place to relax, an area for your plants, a social gathering area or anything else – this will make designing the conservatory go smoother.

3/ Flexibility with Conservatory Ideas

There are websites built to help you come up with ideas. Nowadays conservatory companies offer a massive amount of flexibility with the designs and will help you in every step of the way of your conservatory.

4/ Many Conservatory Designs

There are a large amount of designs available. From the old fashioned victorian or edwardian designs, to the lean-to design, to the t-shape and even the newest contemporary conservatory-esque design – Orangeries.

All designs have their advantages and it’s a good idea to discuss your wants and needs for the conservatory with our industry professionals.

5/ Get a RESPECTABLE quote

Many companies offer you online quotes. A lot of these websites will take your details and then sell them on the a 3rd party, meaning you’ll be rung by a strange salesperson, without having the ability to research them or even know anything about them.

Rest assured, you can request a free Conservatory Quote online and be handled in a personal manner from all respectable companies.

To avoid these sites that sell on your details, refrain from searching for terms such as “conservatory quote” and “conservatory price” and instead search for bigger terms such as “conservatories, “conservatories” or if not using the internet then go with either a respected or local dealer.

6/ It might be a good idea to look local.

A lot of local installers can offer very good deals. They can also be much easier to get follow up service from. These can offer a more personal experience rather than big corporations.

7/ Time

You should ask the company you choose to give you an estimated time and make sure it does not clash with any plans. An standard length of time for a general conservatory would be around 4-6 weeks.

8/ Finance Deals

Most companies will offer some finance options, allowing you to pay later, or in installments. Make sure to ask about this with the companies you find.

9/ Furniture and extra items.

Additional items which you may not think of at the time become essential once the structure is complete. Some retailers offer these products as well and can give you a good price. Yet another thing to think about.

10/ Guarantee

Conservatories are big and expensive extensions to a home, they need a good guarentee. Something like 5 years really is not long enough. You need a 10 year guarentee on a conservatory for full peace of mind.

Picture the scene, you’ve got your lovely new conservatory or the very latest tailor-made orangery, you want to sit out and enjoy the benefits of it after a long day at work, but you are stuck with uncomfortable conservatory furniture which is spoiling your enjoyment.

Dear Conservatory Outlet,

Thank you for completing our beautiful conservatory.

Everything went to plan and your workmen were all punctual, polite and took pride in their work.  The work was completed with minimal upheaval and all workers cleaned up after themselves.

The standard of work is excellent and we have already had many comments of admiration from friends and family.

If we had realised how hassle free it would be, we would have had this done years ago.

Many Thanks again,

Mr & Mrs Duffy
