The designs of these conservatories show how roofs of conservatories are constructed from the fascia or a box gutter.

The box gutter prevents the rainwater from the bungalow roof from running onto the conservatory roof, and ensuring that there is sufficient height in the conservatory.

These uPVC garden room conservatories both have a 300 mm and high cavity base wall, with doors opening out to the side patio and steps. Although the above pictures show a 300 mm base wall you can have a base wall to any height or the glazed panels to the floor level if you prefer, with any style of window.

The windows are tilt and turn which permit good ventilation and are able to open inwards like a small door.

Conservatories of this design with a shallow pitched roof say around 5 degrees tend to have a polycarbonate roof as shown. Additional ventilation can be gained by roof ventilators.

The first part that heats up in all conservatories is the roof, hot air rises, so by fitting roof ventilators in roofs of all conservatories you remove the hot air. These should be fitted to all conservatories as good working practice.

Specialist blinds for conservatories can be fitted to ensure the conservatory stays cool in the summer, to read more on blinds for conservatories follow this link to Roof and panel blinds for conservatories.

The interior of the conservatory has been left to a rustic finish with power points set into the walls for table lamps and heaters designed for conservatories.
