What are uPVC Conservatories?
uPVC Conservatories | By: Robert
UPVC conservatories are quite popular in the UK. Perhaps this is due to colder weather or simply large blocks of land. In the USA and Canada they are more commonly referred to as ‘sunrooms’.
In essence conservatories provide you with an additional room which combines your outdoor view with protection from the weather elements. A more technically correct phrase is a ‘vinyl-framed structure with a pitched roof’. This allows you to enjoy the outdoors while staying warm and dry, which is very popular in damper climates. Most conservatories are lean to conservatories, which means, the extra room attaches to one of the side of the house. However it is possible to buy stand alone conservatories to sit in your backyard.
The term uPVC stands for ‘unplasticised Poly Vinyl Chloride’. UPVC is growing in popularity due to it being able to be heated and reformed so easily. This makes it great for forming unique window frames and allowing for double glazing. It is offered as a superior product to wood and metal which tend to rot, rust and decay over time. Occasionally, uPVC is reinforced with aluminum when used in longer beams. If you still prefer a wooden feel, you can get uPVC reinforced windows with a wooden frame.
Another addition to improve the look of your uPVC conservatory are dwarf walls. These short walls give the conservatory a more permanent look and help blend it into the rest of your house. Larger walls can also be put in place to protect the conservatory from sun during certain times of the day or to add privacy to your new sunroom.
The great thing about getting a uPVC conservatory is that once it is installed it has added a permanent room to your house that will last for many, many years.
