Following on from Part 1 of these series of posts we’re going to discuss question 2.
- What do you know about different conservatory designs?
This may sound like an insulting question at first, but it is most definitely not intended to be. I think in this day and age, most of us looking into the prospect of investing in a conservatory, have heard the usual names associated with different designs; Edwardian, Victorian, Lean To, etc. But how many of us actually understand the slight differences with all the different styles. If you really don’t understand the concept of a Box Gutter, for example, then obviously it makes sense to find out about it before making the decision of installing one.
Any supplier worth their salt should guide you through a selection process, ensuring you understand the principles of their designs and helping to select what is right for you. After all it’s your purchase, your investment, your future addition to your home. When considering building your own conservatory, what would be worse than resenting the particular conservatory design you purchased just because you weren’t fully aware of what was involved in piecing together that style.
As we considered in Part 1 of these posts, think about what you expect to acheive from your Conservatory project. If you are not fully aware of the level of complexity from one style of conservaotry to the next then it’s all too easy to imagine that a Double Hipped Victorian DIY Conservatory is as simple to construct than say, a standard Edwardian DIY Conservatory.
It’s really not rocket science, just look at the basic shape. If one looks more complex than another, then there’s your answer, simple.
Don’t get me wrong. I’m not saying you shouldn’t go for the design or style that you really want. Quite the opposite. I’m saying don’t compromise. If you want a grand looking P Shape but feel you are only happy to tackle a Lean To, you will be better to ask for help on the style you really know is right. Again, as discussed in Part 1, if you need to call on someone to undertake the work, then do just that. It’s nothing to be ashamed of. Remember, if it’s an investment (which a conservatory should most definitely be), treat it as such.
The links posted above will take you to explanations of those specific designs, whereas the following link will take you to our main conservatory designs page where you can select from many others. These pages will allow you to decide on which style is best for your needs and desires. This in turn should help you to decide whether you’re happy to put this style together yourself or whether you may need some additional help.
As always, please contact us, leave a comment or call 0800 917 2230 if you would like to know more.
In Part 3, I’ll be discussing question 3; “How much time have you given to complete the project?”
Check back very soon for the final part in this series of posts.
