Traditional Conservatories from your Nottingham and East Midlands Supplier
Traditional Conservatory Style:
Weather you go for Victorian, Edwardian, “P” Shape or a totally bespoke design there are several ways to design the side wall layout of a conservatory. The modern way of designing the sidewall frames is to run a 74mm horizontal transom bar approximately 450mm from the top of the window frames. This then allows for small top opening vents to be positioned to suit the design of the conservatory or possibly all along to keep the glass lines the same (the glass in an opening vent is smaller than in a fixed frame).
The traditional way of designing the sidewall way frames for a conservatory is to have no horizontal transom bar. This allows for one single pane of glass per conservatory section. This is an attractive design and there are no obstructions when looking into the garden.
There is one small design constraint with this design. When this sidewall design is used with a 600mm dwarf wall the normal frame height will be 1500mm (approx depending on site details) and this dimension is out of manufacturing tolerances for a normal casement window. However Tilt & Turn windows can be manufactured to larger dimensions than casement windows so this is our preferred choice. Tilt & Turn windows also provide excellent ventilation when in the tilt position.
If you are unsure of the best design for your home our conservatory designers will be happy to produce photo Cad drawings for both designs.
