Modern Conservatories

Choose between a UPVC and aluminium conservatory.

UPVC (Unplasticized Polyvinyl Chloride) and aluminium are two common materials used for constructing conservatories, each with its own set of advantages.

UPVC conservatories are known for their affordability. They are generally more cost-effective than aluminium, making them a popular choice for budget-conscious homeowners. Additionally, UPVC offers excellent thermal insulation, which helps maintain a comfortable temperature inside the conservatory throughout the year. This insulation also contributes to energy efficiency, potentially reducing heating and cooling costs.

Maintenance is another benefit of this conservatories. UPVC is resistant to rot, corrosion, and fading, which means it typically requires minimal upkeep over its lifespan. Homeowners can also choose from a variety of styles and colours, allowing for customisation to match the existing property’s aesthetics. This type of conservatories offer good noise insulation, creating a quieter environment inside.

On the other hand, aluminium conservatories have their own set of advantages. aluminium is incredibly strong, allowing for larger glass panels and more extensive, modern designs with slim frames. This strength also contributes to the material’s durability, as aluminium is resistant to corrosion and rust. Its slim frames provide unobstructed views and maximise natural light. aluminium conservatories can be powder-coated in various colours, providing design flexibility to match the homeowner’s preferences.

The choice between UPVC and aluminium often depends on budget, desired aesthetics, and specific needs. Homeowners should consider these factors when deciding on the best material for their conservatory. Your local premium retailer can advise on the best material for your needs.

Follow our simple maintenance advice for your new conservatory.

Fortunately, conservatories are incredibly low maintenance, making it easy for you to look after them.

Gutter Maintenance

Clear debris from gutters and downpipes regularly to prevent blockages, especially in rear box gutters. Check in autumn to avoid overflows or leaks caused by debris.

Snow

After snowfall, promptly remove snow from the roof to prevent ice buildup and undue pressure on gutters.

Ventilation

Maintain a comfortable interior temperature and minimise condensation by ventilating your conservatory. Keep windows, doors, and trickle vents open when possible. Utilise the roof vent (if present) to regulate the room’s temperature. In hot weather, ensure adequate ventilation, but consider security when determining the extent of openings.

Heating

Control condensation by slightly increasing heating in areas prone to it. Maintain some heat in the conservatory during cold weather, positioning heating appliances under windows to maintain double glazing’s inside pane temperature.

General Maintenance

Clear leaves and debris around outside flashing to ensure proper rainwater drainage. Clean glass with warm, soapy water or a glass cleaner and a non-abrasive cloth. Dry thoroughly after cleaning. Dust the inside frame surfaces every six months or as needed. Avoid abrasive materials on self-cleaning glass to preserve the coating’s effectiveness.
