As Plymouth’s trusted experts in home improvements, we at DNA Window Solutions have helped countless local homeowners maximise their living space with lean-to conservatories.
In this guide, we’ll explore why these practical and stylish extensions are particularly well-suited to Plymouth’s urban properties and how they can transform your home.
What is a Lean-to Conservatory?
A lean-to conservatory, sometimes called a Mediterranean conservatory, features a simple structure with a roof that slopes downward from the house wall.
A design that effectively utilises space making it ideal for smaller areas or properties with low eaves, these conservatories can be fitted with various roof options, including glass roof or solid roof options when you choose DNA Window Solutions.
The straightforward design allows for full-height windows and multiple door types, from French doors to bi-fold doors, creating a versatile living space, whether you intend to use it as an additional kitchen, a place to relax, etc.
Lean-to conservatories are an excellent way to expand your living space.
Why Lean-to Conservatories are Perfect for Plymouth Homes
Plymouth’s unique architecture and climate make lean-to-conservatories an ideal choice. Their simple design works particularly well with local properties, especially bungalows, where height restrictions might limit other conservatory styles. The roof profile is specifically designed to deflect UV rays while maintaining excellent insulation.
The frame height and roof pitch can be adjusted to suit your particular design needs, whether you’re looking to create a dining room, playroom, or additional living space. We offer efficient installation across Plymouth and the surrounding areas and can advise on everything from the right projection to the best door opening options.
Lean-to Conservatories from DNA Window Solutions
Our lean-to conservatories feature:
- Premium uPVC or aluminium frames
- Different size options to suit your space
- Opening windows for ventilation
We use contemporary bar systems and eaves beam technology to ensure optimal performance. Our range includes both cheaper profile options and premium choices, with various conservatory roof styles. The amount of glass can be customised to create your perfect contemporary look.
Our products are designed with thermal efficiency in mind, not only helping you to enjoy a comfortable conservatory temperature year-round, but also reducing energy costs.
Roofing Options
Glass Roofs
Our modern glass roof systems offer excellent insulation and create a bright, airy space. The amount of glass can be customised to suit your preferences while maintaining optimal thermal efficiency. If you love stargazing on a clear night, a glass roof could be perfect for you!
Tiled Roofs
For those seeking additional insulation, our solid roof options provide a permanent feel while reducing maintenance costs. These roofs seamlessly blend with your existing property while maintaining the conservatory’s charm.
Why We No Longer Recommend Polycarbonate
While polycarbonate was once popular due to being one of the cheaper roofing systems, we’ve moved away from this material. Modern glass and tiled roof options offer superior thermal efficiency and durability, making them more cost-effective in the long run. There’s nothing worse than not being able to use your conservatory on an overly chilly, hot, or rainy day, and our products are designed to ensure that is never the case.
