How to create your perfect conservatory

How to create your perfect conservatory


A conservatory is a popular choice amongst British homeowners looking to extend their homes and living space. Conservatories create an ideal suntrap as well as adding more light into your property and visually linking it to the garden. When planning your perfect conservatory there are a few points which you need to consider.

What Style of conservatory?
Conservatories come all shapes, sizes and styles as well as a range of materials and colours. A lean to conservatory from Apropos can create a light and airy space and make a single storey extension a larger space. A reverse lean to can enable you to take advantage of great garden views. Adding a roof light and folding sliding doors to an existing room can create an orangery effect and open out your room to the garden.

A conservatory does not have to be used over a single storey. Apropos specialise in double storey conservatories which allow you to benefit from the extra light in the downstairs rooms as well as the upstairs rooms.

What material/ colour for your conservatory?

When considering which conservatory is best for you, you will need to consider which material is best for your property. Conservatories can be built out of aluminium, wood, UPVC and frameless glass. Wood and aluminium conservatories give you a choice of different colours and can be adjusted to suit any style of property.
Apropos make their conservatories out of glass and aluminium, which can be coated in a polyester powder coating to create any colour to suit any property.

Conservatory advice
Create a conservatory room that you will use. Do not have a conservatory built just for the sake of having one built.
Consider different design/ positions for your conservatory. An apropos designer will come to your home a make various suggestion on the best position and design depending on your brief.

Remember your budget and try to get the best conservatory to suit your budget.
