Victorian

A popular style distinguished by a faceted front,

giving a curved appearance. A particular favourite

with period properties, however it’s clean lines make

this a winner on any type of home.

Georgian

A flat-fronted style that offers excellent use of floor

space due to the square or rectangular internal shape.

It’s sloping roof and contemporary style is suited to

the majority of properties.

P-Shape

A P-Shape can combine a Lean-To and a Victorian to

create a versatile and visually stunning open space.

Due to the proportions needed, this style is better

suited to larger properties, giving an impressive result.

T-Shape

As with the P-Shape, this style is more suited to larger

properties. A combination style that’s distinguished by a

central projection that can either be a Victorian, Gable or

Georgian. A T-Shape offers a large and versatile floor

space and is an impressive addition to any home.

Choosing your style

Gable

A gable-fronted conservatory adds a sense of grandeur

to any home. Featuring the same rectangular floor

space as a Georgian, a gable offers excellent use of

internal space. The front panel of the roof remains

upright rather than sloping back, to create a feeling of

greater height within the conservatory.

Lean-To

For properties with little room under the eaves or for

those homeowners that prefer a clean simple look, a

Lean-To conservatory is the ideal choice. The pitch of

the roof can be varied, making this a versatile and

ever-popular option.

Lantern

The ‘original’ conservatory style, a Lantern ensures

drama and grandeur. Distinguished by the two-tiered

feature roof, the height within a Lantern adds an extra

dimension to the feeling of light and space. A popular

choice for swimming pool enclosures.

Custom

Although the shapes and designs shown are all bespoke,

you may have your own ‘one-off’, exceptional or unique

idea. The doors, windows and roof systems in this

brochure combined with our expertise should allow you

achieve that dream.

*Dependant on specification

When planning how to make the most of your

conservatory, there’s a lot to consider – its size,

shape, and of course, how much sun it gets.

With rising energy costs, fuel costs and

living costs, the last thing you want to do

is throw valuable money out of the

window.

But that is exactly what you could be doing if yourwindows aren’t energy efficient. Significantadvancements have been made in recent years toensure the windows you install in your home retainheat and reduce the amount of energy you use.With visible benefits for both the environment andyour pocket, it’s clear to see why energy efficientwindows are important, so how do you choose thebest ones for you?

The Duraflex process of continuous development means that

all windows supplied meet, as a minimum, the requirements

of current legislation. In addition, the Duraflex Diamond

casement suite has bee registered with BFRC which enables

the supply of A, B and C rated windows if required.

BFRC – What’s it all about?The Government has set itself a specifictarget of ensuring all new homes builtafter 2016 are zero carbon. This is inaddition to the general requirement ofan overall carbon emission reduction asset out by the Kyoto agreement.

To highlight this topic and enable asystem which is both an independentsource of information and also easy tounderstand, the BFRC (BritishFenestration Rating Council) working inconjunction with the Energy EfficiencyCouncil, have created a performancelabel clearly defining the energyefficiency of windows from anymanufacturer.

Launched in March 2004, the WindowEnergy Rating label is similar to thatused on many white goods in ourhomes, such as fridges and washingmachines. Windows are scored on ascale of A – G, with an A rated buildingproduct being more energy efficientthan one which is G rated.

The Window Energy RatingScheme, governed by anindependent body, allows you tomake a fully informed choiceabout the windows you choosefor your home. From anenvironmental perspective, thewindows you choose can reduceyour household CO2 emissions byover 100m each year, helping
