Follow on Google News | Buying Advice for Conservatories - Rocburn LimitedIf you’re thinking about buying and constructing a conservatory for your home what are the main things you should consider before choosing one?
By: Rocburn Limited Next on your planning check list should be the size of the conservatory. It seems like common sense but make sure you measure, check and double-check the dimensions of the space you have chosen for your new room. There’s nothing worse than eagerly awaiting the arrival of your new conservatory only to find it is far too big to fit into your garden, or sticks out just a few centimetres too far so you have difficulty opening the doors or windows for example. Internal dimensions are just as important to consider as the external ones. When you invite suppliers around to give you some quotes firstly mark out the exact area of the external size as that is what supplies always base their calculations on. Simply use some wooden stakes and some string and leave the same layout in place for all the companies so you can properly compare their quotes. Don’t necessarily use the cheapest quote and try and find some recommendations from previous conservatory owners, even go and see the finished product if it’s local enough. Follow the good practice of keeping 10% of your budget aside for optional or unforeseen extras. Choose wherever possible the same colour and style of brick as your house has so the additional room melds well with the existing building. Also consider what your view will be when sitting down on a chair in your conservatory as well as standing up in the middle. Conservatories can be built with ceiling windows in various heights, patterns and layouts so adjust your plan accordingly so your view of the garden or countryside is still the best. Make sure the door is not in the middle at the front as it’ll take up space that can be used for furniture, and check to see if you need planning permission too. Do not rely on the conservatory company to do this as most contracts state it is your responsibility, not the supplier’s. # # # Visit http://www.window- End
