PROJECT BRIEF
Replaced tired existing conservatory with contemporary sun lounge built to a specification that will not only make it ideal for year-round use, but also add to the overall warmth of the home while remaining light and airy.
PROJECT ISSUES
Privacy, incorporating a log burner and whether to make open plan with the adjoining room.
PROJECT DETAILS
Maximising natural light whilst making as energy efficient as possible was the main priority.
We decided to go with one solid, fully insulated cavity wall for privacy and log burner positioning with the remaining walls glazed.
We added a rooflight to maximise light and put in place a specialist cranked steel to carry the roof structure with upright support posts hidden in the window frames.
The vaulted ceiling was super insulated and sealed.
Insulated plasterboard was applied to the fully insulated cavity dwarf walls that supported “A” Rated efficiency, anthracite UPVC double-glazed units.
The installation of a Morso log burner completed the contemporary feel.
The issue of whether to go open plan or not was decided by replacing the existing patio doors with new bi-fold doors. This gives the best of both worlds with the option to open up the sun lounge completely or keep it shut for peace and quiet.
The sun lounge has proven to be the most popular room in the house and we are very proud of it.
The job was completed in December 2015.
