Hardwood Conservatories
Although costly when compared with
uPVC or
aluminium, wood offers the most natural and versatile approach to your conservatory needs as it can be shaped into virtually any design feature to deliver a traditional look while incorporating the contemporary benefits offered by double-glazing.
It is ideal for use in listed buildings and conservation area properties that need
planning permission for extensions and alterations. You may be required to use
oak, which is the most expensive option but stronger and more durable than any other wood.
Timber conservatories demand regular
maintenance and can be painted or applied with wood stain and/or varnish to provide protection from the elements.
