When you’re thinking of building a conservatory or orangery, there are several things to consider carefully to help you avoid issues further down the road. As a building company who constructs conservatories for homes throughout the region such as Ilkley, Keighley, Silsden, Shipley, Baildon and Bingley.
If a conservatory isn’t planned properly then you may experience various problems.
What are the common conservatory pitfalls to avoid?
Too small
A conservatory or orangery is an effective way of adding more space to your home. Whether that’s to provide additional living space, storage or a space to entertain, then a conservatory is a great way to extend your home. However, if you choose a conservatory that is too small then it can make that original use redundant.
Doesn’t match your house
When choosing what conservatory to have installed in your home, it needs to match the rest of the aesthetic. This is particularly important if you’re renovating your home and are hoping to sell it on.
Roof leaks
You want to make sure that you have a good quality roof so that your roof can stand the test of time. Faulty or damaged roof vents, perished seals or guttering can lead to leaks and this is a problem you really don’t want to have. It can prove very expensive to fix.
Faulty doors
A simple way to join your conservatory to your home is through installing sliding doors. However, this type of door is more likely to become jammed or liable to faults compared to bi-fold door options. As with most things, cheaper doesn’t always mean better. A cheap door can require frequent repairs. No matter what door you choose, make sure you properly install the doors.
Too cold or too hot
When installing a conservatory, getting the temperature right can be difficult. If you have poor insulation in your conservatory then it can easily become very cold. Equally, if your conservatory is too hot, then you need better ventilation, especially for the hot summer months.
Doesn’t meet planning permission, or building regulations
Before starting the build, you should make sure that you have got the correct planning permission. Most conservatories don’t need planning permission, however, don’t assume that your build is exempt from this.
