Combination Conservatories
The T-shape
The gable end T-shape DIY conservatory is the most popular in the combination range. This illustration shows the roof with hips but there is the option of triangular glazed frames as shown in the Victorian B-shape design. Combination or bespoke designs are made up from a number of standard conservatory designs. This illustration shows two hipped lean-to models and a gable end design. The individual conservatory roofs are cut and then joined using structural aluminium valleys. Be warned that compared to lean-to or hipped back Edwardian standard conservatory design, these styles are expensive.
The B-shape
The B-shape DIY conservatory should only be considered for conservatories over seven meters wide. As with the T-shape three standard conservatories are used to make this design. The difference being that the lean-to element is used, in this case a gable end or Victorian style, to join the standard conservatories together. As you can see the designs are completely bespoke allowing the roof to hip back to a box gutter or attach directly onto the house wall. The B-shape style is generally designed to allow for a generous sitting and separate dining area in the two larger spaces.
Bespoke Combinations
The bespoke combination DIY conservatory is exactly that, a design that is conceived by the home owner to suit their induvidual requirements. You could practically take elements from most conservatory designs and combine them to for a fantastic structure that suits the architectural style of most homes. New technology allows for bi-fold doors to be used over large spans by incorporating enhanced, structural portal frames that support the roof and allow no downward deflection which would impede the the door.operation. All the conservatories have the option to be finished in white, rosewood or light oak, or the combination of woodgrain on the outside an white on the inside. Back in the Victorian age it was very popular amongst the wealthy to use different styles of free standing conservatories, linked by glazed walk ways, to showcase their exotic plants and animals that came from all over the globe. These structures were of timber construction and single glazed but still allowed foreign animals and plants to flourish in our cold climate due to the large glazed areas trapping the solar heat gain and retaining the warm temperature.
