Our expert team is on hand to help you find the right solution to extend your space at home, using the latest technologies and designs to suit your needs.
Shift Towards Modern Designs
Traditional conservatories were known for their Victorian or Edwardian styles, featuring polycarbonate roofs and ornate details. However, modern conservatories have embraced sleek and minimalist designs, characterised by clean lines and large glass panels that seamlessly connect indoor and outdoor spaces.
Use of Advanced Materials
In the past, conservatories were primarily constructed with timber frames, which required regular maintenance and can be prone to issues like rot and warping. Today, homeowners have a range of materials to choose from, including uPVC and aluminium, which offer enhanced durability, energy efficiency, and low maintenance requirements.
Modern construction techniques such as the ‘hup!’ system allows for ultimate design flexibility, combining any window and door layout to accommodate your preferred style. Customers are no longer confined to the typical polycarbonate roof style of conservatories, instead browsing a variety of roof types which combine solid roof and glass. These modern conservatory extensions aren’t just more stylish, but use advanced materials which make your home more energy efficient.
Enhanced Energy Efficiency
With rising energy costs and a growing focus on sustainability, energy efficiency has become a crucial consideration in modern conservatory design. Modern conservatories now feature high-performance glazing, thermal breaks, and advanced insulation materials, ensuring comfortable use throughout the year, regardless of weather conditions.
Versatile Functionality
Modern conservatories have evolved into versatile spaces that can serve various purposes. While they were once primarily used as sunrooms or dining areas, they can now function as home offices, playrooms, or extensions of the living room. This flexibility allows homeowners to adapt their conservatories to their changing needs over time.
