A conservatory is an excellent addition to any property and can even improve the value of your home. However, it is not always as straight forward as just deciding if you want a new extension. Here at St Helens Windows, we have gathered our top ten tips for buying a new conservatory. Our article will provide you with some helpful information about your next home improvement.
Once you have chosen the principal purpose of your conservatory, you should start to consider how the interior will look. You may look at dining tables or gym equipment. However, be sure to look at furniture that will not fade in direct sunlight. Additionally, specialised roof panels can give you a protective barrier against this.
Not all conservatories require planning permission. However, we recommend that you inquire before you start building your new home improvements. Planning permission can elevate the cost of your extension, so it is better to gather expert advice. Always look for a reputable company like St Helens Windows as they can take care of all aspects of planning permission required.
Having extra space in your property will require additional time and energy to maintain it. Decisions such as the type of material can affect the level of maintenance needed. UPVC material requires very little maintenance compared to a wooden conservatory, which will need continual treatment to maintain its integrity.
Consider how your conservatory will connect to your house. Furthermore, how do you want the connection to feel? Bi-fold doors will give you a stylish look and create a welcoming entrance into your extension. Alternatively, french doors will provide you with greater separation allowing you to distance yourself from the house.
