Conservatories

When you see an aluminium conservatory for the first time, what immediately strikes you is just how much glass it has, more glass than you would ever imagine. Aluminium is one of the toughest materials on planet Earth, but it doesn’t take much to shape it, which is why aluminium conservatories have amazingly slender sightlines. They’re also very modern-looking and that’s partially due to the intricate contour on the external side of the aluminium frames. It’s reminiscent of the contour you would see on a timber frame.

It wouldn’t be advisable to have your new conservatory built from timber, mostly because of the porousness of wood. But if you do love the look of wood, the next best thing is to use our Heritage profile, which is aesthetically like timber, and thankfully doesn’t succumb to the weather. For those in the know, you will identify that Heritage frames are modelled on 19th century timber flush casement window frames. It might be the fact that the sash sits flush against the window frame when it’s locked that gives that away. An amalgamation of materials is used to develop Heritage frames. That’s why they’re ageless and you don’t find yourself forever spending your time cleaning them, like you do with timber-built conservatories.

The look and feel of an aluminium finish is very impressive and you can easily understand why many customers opt for one. Getting an aluminium finish just right takes time – they wouldn’t be half as good if we rushed them. It requires an 11-stage powder-coating process to bring them to life and nothing less than that. You can also demand a woodgrain finish for your aluminium conservatory in either Walnut, Oak or Rosewood, developed using the sublimation method.

Windows in the 19th Century would always have finishes, like Clotted Cream and Painswick that were painted onto their frames. While we don’t offer painted finishes, we do have these two colours in stock, along with several other Heritage colours, including Corse Lawn and Eclectic Grey. The application of these Heritage colours will create the illusion that your conservatory is built from real wood.

You don’t need an enormous facet in your conservatory to be able to add a set of patio doors. West Yorkshire Windows can craft a patio door design in pretty much any size, and whatever size they are, it takes hardly any effort to slide them across the running track.

The current trend is to have extra-large patio doors installed and West Yorkshire Windows can cater for that. Because they’re not hinged, you also won’t need to worry about your patio doors being viciously blown open in windy conditions when slightly ajar and becoming damaged.

French doors are enormously pretty. Depending on the setup of your conservatory, you may want your French doors to open inwardly or outwardly. If the conservatory is quite compact, an outward opening is the most sensible option as then the door won’t take up any valuable space indoors. We would highly recommend that you include French doors if you want to make more use of your garden as they will give you an excuse to do it.

There was a time when polycarbonate roofing systems would almost always be used on conservatory designs. The old-style polycarbonate roof isn’t fit for purpose, so we have developed an enhanced polycarbonate roofing system. Available in 25mm or 35mm sheets, it will give you year-round weather protection and restrict any glare from the sun. To eliminate glare further and bolster thermal control, request the inclusion of foil inserts in the polycarbonate roof. We sell our polycarbonate roofs in three shades: bronze, opal and clear.

It’s no secret that the addition of a tiled roof to a conservatory can lead to a little loss of natural light, but you only need to include one or more roof windows in the covering to overcome that. One of its main selling-points is how great it is at insulating extensions and ensuring they never come second-best to the weather. You’re given the option of having the roof supplied in tile or slate form. Both are amazingly lightweight, and they won’t crack or delaminate like genuine tiles and slates do. They can also be finished in the kind of colours you would find on traditional tiles and slates.
