Stunning Edwardian Conservatories

The Edwardian conservatory design(sometimes known as Georgian conservatory) is probably one of the most popular designs chosen by homeowners of newly developed or renovated properties. It features a rectangular or square design which appeals to many as it makes the best use of available floor space. The conservatory roof is designed in such a way that an impressive amount of natural light filters through.

Edwardian conservatories offer a clean and simple look with strong bold lines. The hip-fronted corners of the Edwardian style conservatory give the optimum space for a given plan area and maximise interior floor space.

 Of course you don't need to create a conservatory which strictly follows these rules. Your home may have restrictions as to height and or positioning and Three Counties can help you create a bespoke conservatory for you to enjoy. You can choose from a wide range of durable and appealing options.

There are two ways that this question can be answered. Firstly you could go and look at our accreditations page but why would you spend the money based purely on what we tell you? The best way to decide is to ask around. If you have friends or neighbours that already have a conservatory designed and installed by Three Counties then ask them about the quality and service they recieved. Our reputation speaks for itself.

 So how do you choose a conservatory?

Of course the best way is to let Three Counties show you the options available and help you to deside what is best for you, but if you are not ready to give us a call just yet here are 8 things which we recommend that you look at.

What do you plan on using it for?

Nobody builds a conservatory just because it will look good. Will it be an extention to your kitchen? A lounge, dining or bedroom? A garden office or a sun room? The purpose will affect the overall design as well as which materials will work the best

Quotation and Design

Ensure that your quotation lists the entire specification and contains detailed drawings. Get your quotation broken down so that you can see what you are paying for.

The cheapest may not necessarily be the best.

As with most things you get what you pay for. If you choose a company whose other products and services are better than their competition then it is often more advisable to stick to them.

The materials are crucial

The lifespan and use of your conservatories is decided by the materials which will be used. Although wood is a popular option, for long lasting and maintenance free conservatory designs upvc is the best for the frames. Double glazed windows make your extra space so much more energy efficient.

It's Location

Its location determines the amount of light and heat so you will need to make adjustments for ventilation depending on whether your conservatory is north or south facing. Three Counties can help you decide.

Size does matter

Something which looks good on paper does not necessarily mean it will work in real life. You dont want it to look like an addon but rather as part of your home. Get an opinion from a family member or friend.

Check with your local authority

Normally you wont need planning permission but it is better to be safe than sorry. Check with your local authority about the necessary building regulations.

Call in the professionals

A conservatory will make a big hole in your pocket so call on the professionals to carry out the work. If you decide to use Three Counties then you know the job is guaranteed at least for 10 years.
