DIY Conservatories And Steel Conservatory Bases

October 17, 2010

DIY conservatories have been around a while now and steel conservatory bases have been around even longer.

Although DIY conservatories have evolved over recent years, steel bases have evolved very little, until now.

There’s a new kid on the block who’s name is ConservaBase. ConservaBase is the new generation of steel conservatory bases that goes hand in hand perfectly with DIY conservatories.

DIY conservatories normally feature at least a few design features that sets them apart from regular conservatories with a view to making them more DIY friendly to aid self assembly without the need for calling in the professionals. But what about the conservatory base?

Well for a traditional build, this has always been a job for the builders and steel bases have been well, semi-DIY – until now, that is.

ConservaBase is a brand new fully welded steel conservatory base system that can be installed in just one day. Unlike other steel conservatory bases, ConservaBase is delivered in just two or three sections depending on size which simply bolt together and to the house wall. It is at least three times faster to install than other steel bases on the market that are supplied in bar lengths with hundreds of nuts and bolts needed to fix them together.

So now, COMPLETE DIY conservatories are available that are COMPLETELY DIY! There are no builders, bricklayers, skips or concrete lorries required as ConservaBase simply sits on a few strategically placed concrete pads or foundation blocks.

Steel bases normally save you cash too and unlike conventional base construction methods, your home won’t become a building site for weeks, even months on end.

Conservatory base evolution

May 12, 2010

The modern conservatory has continued to evolve over the years in terms of materials in manufacture such as the latest fully sculptured PVCu frames and corner posts, frame glazing such as Pilkington K Glass and self-cleaning glass, roof glazing such as solar control polycarbonate and glass, again with self-cleaning options and of course the modern roof system comprising of aluminium profiles with PVCu cappings.

But what about the conservatory base? The materials and method used for the foundations, base and walls have remained exactly the same since time began – until now!

Steel conservatory bases are the future of how conservatories will be built. Many modern commercial buildings, bridges and skyscrapers are now built on steel sub-structures and these bespoke steel base units are ideal for building conservatories.

Modern steel subframe technology means less work and less mess – a lot less.

Lets take a look at the benefits of the ConservaBase steel conservatory base system.

The ConservaBase factory finished system was designed with the aim of streamlining the installation process by minimising the amount of work necessary on site and reducing reliance on outside trades to zero. This even enables an average DIY enthusiast to carry out a complete conservatory installation project from base to roof.

The main advantages of this steel conservatory base system are as follows.

  • Total conservatory solution from “the waist down” cutting down three week projects to just three days
  • Highest possible build quality using tried and tested zero maintenance modern construction methods
  • Standard base and walls can be completed in under two days
  • Meets and exceeds all relevant building regulations where necessary
  • Highly engineered finish indistinguishable from a conventional build complete with independent structural warranty
  • Can be carried through house when no rear access available
  • No skips needed to remove spoil, as no major earthworks are required
  • No builders or bricklayers required
  • Fully finished and highly insulated with no need to add insulation on site
  • Manufactured to exact sizes, so conservatory will always fit perfectly
  • Can be fitted over existing patios (no need to dig up tonnes of concrete)
  • Manholes and drains can be left in place
  • Moisture resistant floor means no waiting for concrete to cure
  • Huge range of real brick tile finishes, plus render and pebbledash options
  • Alternative foundation options for difficult sites, ground conditions and complex design of conservatory.

DIY conservatories on the Increase

July 25, 2009

diy conservatories on increaseWith the current economic downturn in the UK, consumers are constantly looking for more ways to save money, particularly with their homes.

This is good news for manufacturers and suppliers of DIY conservatories as more homeowners are turning to doing more DIY to keep costs down.

Unlike electrical, gas and plumbing work, DIY conservatories can safely be fitted by unskilled and unqualified DIY’ers without fear of things going wrong and because a conservatory in a fairly large purchase, a lot of money can be saved  by doing the work yourself, even if you get a builder to do the base for you before installation.

Another great product is steel conservatory bases which have been developed for and are ideal for DIY conservatories.

Anyone can fit a steel base without any building knowledge or experience and they usually work out around the same cost of a traditional concrete base but are much easier, quicker and cleaner to install.
