Please view some of our helful tips for your Safechoice conservatory:
Get the right help
You have some important decisions to make, many in areas you have little or no expertise in. Be sure to only take advice from people or suppliers with the right level of experience and knowledge. A great way of finding out is to meet prospective suppliers in their place of business and ask to view examples of their work, and speak to past contented customers.
Use
What do you hope to get out of your new conservatory? A playroom? An office? Just an extra space to relax in? Whatever you choose, its use will determine how large you need your new space to be, and which layout will best accommodate your needs.
Materials
Your new space should fit seamlessly with your lifestyle and match your budget. Materials such as UPVC are incredibly hardwearing and low maintenance. No need for stepladders and re-painting, oil on the hinges and a wipe down every now and again will keep your conservatory looking like new.
Positioning
Think about the position of your conservatory. Those that face the South will receive the most amount of sun during the day. If this is the case, you may need to consider extra ventilation and possibly blinds in order to block out some of the harsher rays.
Size
Once you’ve made a decision on your design, it might be best to check the dimensions of both your house and your garden. A conservatory should be an extension of your current living space, and shouldn’t take up valuable garden space.
Glazing
Safechoice have made new advancements to ensure the glass used in our conservatories works its hardest for the homeowner. Keeping you cooler in summer and warmer in winter means a conservatory isn’t just a seasonal room.
Planning Permission
If you’re building a conservatory in England and Wales, you will not usually need planning permission. However, it is always better to be safe than sorry. If you are in any doubt always check as early as you can with your local council.
Customer Feedback
" We had shopped around a lot for our French doors and double glazing as we wanted to find the right company to do the job. This really paid off as the double glazed windows and UPVC French doors are great and the workmanship is really first rate. " Customer In Arborfield - 19 Apr 2012
