Conservatories in Morecambe
Plan Your Morecambe Conservatory from the Ground Up
A conservatory is more than its finished appearance. The base, frames, glazing, doors and roof all need to work together as one complete structure.
St Helens Windows designs and installs made-to-measure conservatories throughout Morecambe and surrounding areas, with a range of layouts, glazing, frame finishes, doors and roof options available.
Understand the Construction
What Goes into a New Conservatory?
The visible frames and glass are only part of the project. A complete conservatory brings together the supporting base, structural components, glazing, openings and roof.
Base & Foundations
The conservatory needs a suitable supporting base, with the construction determined by the proposed design and conditions at the property.
Frames & Glazing
Frames and glazed areas form much of the visible structure and can be planned around the proportions, outlook and appearance of the room.
Roof Structure
The roof completes the enclosure and has a major influence on both the external profile and the character of the interior.
Openings Matter Too
Plan the Conservatory Doors as Part of the Structure
Doors are used every day, so their position, opening arrangement and hardware deserve just as much thought as the glazing and roof.
Position
Door locations can be planned around the route between the house, conservatory and outside space.
Opening Style
Different door configurations use the available width differently, so the best choice depends on the layout and access required.
Locking Hardware
Doors should be specified with suitable locking and hardware as part of the complete conservatory system.
Shape Changes the Structure
Different Designs Create Different Roof Lines and Footprints
Conservatory styles are not purely decorative. Their shape affects the floor plan, frontage and way the roof is formed.
Regular Footprints
Edwardian and Lean-To designs use relatively straightforward shapes and can provide a practical starting point for many properties.
Traditional Shaped Designs
Victorian conservatories introduce a faceted frontage, changing both the external appearance and the internal perimeter of the room.
Combined Layouts
P-shaped and T-shaped conservatories use larger or more complex footprints where the available space can accommodate them.

Build the Project in Layers
From the Supporting Base to the Finished Roof
Thinking about the conservatory as a complete construction helps keep the main parts of the project connected rather than choosing each feature separately.
1
Establish the Footprint
Start with the available area and determine the size and shape of the proposed conservatory.
2
Form the Enclosure
Frames, glazing and doors can then be planned around the dimensions, access and outlook of the room.
3
Complete the Roof
The roof specification brings the structure together and determines much of its finished profile.
Complete the Structure
Roof Options for Morecambe Conservatories
The roof should work with the size, shape and glazing of the conservatory, whether you are planning a new extension or considering work to a suitable existing structure.
Glass Roofs
Glass maintains a highly glazed roof appearance and allows daylight to enter the room directly from above.
Solid Roof Systems
A solid roof creates a more enclosed roof construction and can be considered for suitable conservatory projects.
Replacement Roofs
An existing conservatory may also be suitable for replacement roof work, depending on its construction and condition.
What About Planning Permission?
Many conservatories can fall within permitted development rights in England, but this depends on the size, position, height, property and any previous extensions or local restrictions.
If you are unsure what applies to your proposed project, check the position before work begins.
