Conservatory Manufacturers - how many are there?

Most conservatory manufacturers are simply an extension of their replacement window business so the framing materials are usually powder coated aluminium or upvc. As the manufacturing process is very similar to the making of replacement windows and doors, the cutting and joining machines are also very similar.

It is perhaps only the installation of the roof, dwarf walls and floor that makes the main difference. Therefore the number of conservatory manufacturers is pretty extensive throughout the UK. Most homeowners will be near one or two locally.

However, it is said that the selection of the actual framing material with regard to choice and manufacturers is actually very limited or small to just a few handful of suppliers and profiles. Therefore, the homeowners attention when selecting their conservatory manufacturer should perhaps be focussed on the type and quality of framing material to be used rather than the actual conservatory manufacturer.

The conservatory manufacturer should also be demonstrating all the extra fittings and features to the homeowner with regard to ridge details, automatic venting systems, eaves details, rain water goods, roofing spars etc. It will be the quality of these items that will decide whether or not you are obtaining a good quality conservatory from the manufacturer.

Do not be afraid to inspect the sectional samples thoroughly. Any confident and decent conservatory manufacturer will be more than willing to let you explore all these details and for you to take your time selecting.
