Diy Upvc Conservatory Guide

Your Conservatory Diy Project

DIY is now a viable option for UPVC conservatory construction. I have provided a guide for K2's easy fit conservatory frame system, that is particularly easy to erect. The system has aluminium support frames and slide in ready glazed upvc window sections. In conjunction with an easy to fit Durabase steel base, it is possible for the amateur diy'er to totally build their own conservatory to a professional finish within a week. Contact me to discuss your requirements or use the link on the right ( in orange ) for a free quote.

Stage 1 - Planning Your Project

Stage 1 : DIY Conservatory Planning

The rules and regulations for planning of DIY conservatories has not really changed that much over the years. We have created some easy to understand simple guidelines for you to determine whether you are within the correct limits accessed on the left border. We have also included useful links should you need to contact the planning authorities. Most conservatories are well within regulations and do not require planning permission, but it is always worth checking with your local authorities if you are unsure.

Stage 2 : Your Conservatory Base

Stage 2: Establishing a solid foundation – your Conservatory Base

The two main options that you have for a conservatory base are: to build a traditional one from scratch, or you buy a solid steel base for your conservatory. Building a traditional conservatory base is not the task of a DIY enthusiast. We would recommend that you get a skilled builder to dig the footings, lay the foundations, wait for the concrete to set and then build a dwarf wall for your conservatory, should you require it. This is a very skilled task and the type of project that you do not want to get wrong.

The other method is to buy a DIY steel conservatory base and modular dwarf wall system. The base that I recommend which has been established for over 20 years is the Instabuild (by Durabase) DIY conservatory base and modular wall system. This steel base was created to provide a solid foundation for all types of conservatories and has a number of advantages over building a traditional base. In fact I can not find a real valid reason not to buy a steel base for your conservatory. Find out more about my steel bases for conservatories right here on my site or on my dedicated website accessed by the link photo on the left.

Constructing The Conservatory Base
Stage 3 : Sliding in The Panels

Stage 3: Fixing the windows and doors to your base

Once you have built your base, your next task is to fix the frames into place.

All our frames come fully glazed before they are delivered to you. This saves an incredible amount of time and hassle. The way that the panels are attached to the sill and to each other is via a simple quarter turn button system with aluminium couplers. The sills are pre-routed and cut to size. Support blocks locate the Panel onto the sill and panels slide into place. No screws are required and no drilling. Find out more about our glazing system and why we get excited about the quality of our DIY conservatories.

Stage 4 - Putting the Roof On

Stage 4: DIY Conservatory Roof

It is the style of roof that determines the shape of the whole conservatory. Whether you have a Victorian conservatory, an Edwardian conservatory, a Lean-to conservatory a P-shaped conservatory or something different, the roof will determine what the end product largely looks like. And because being on the roof may be the most challenging part of the job, you really want it to be as simple as the steel base and slide and click wall panels. You will be pleased to know that installing the roof is just as simple and stress free as installing the rest of the conservatory.

We have a complete section on the roof, including the type of glazing material, polycarbonate or glass. We also have a DVD that you can watch that shows you step by step what needs to be done and you can see for yourself just how easy the whole process really is.

Stage 5 - Finishing the inside

Stage 5: Finishing with internal Decorative Panels

These conservatory internal panels are an ideal way to complete your conservatory to a very high standard.  The range of internal panels are custom made to suit each individual conservatory and are simple and quick to install.

They can save you time too without the need for plastering the inside and look amazing when painted.

Custom, Bespoke Conservatory Designs

K2 allows us to offer you the lowest prices whilst maintaining a very high standard of quality. Now even better prices are possible with their modular range. This means that you get the best quality at the best price in the market place.

There are times when you need something different. Not necessarily elaborate, like the designs below, but maybe a non standard size with additional fixtures and fittings. Things that might not be availble from my modular ranges. On these occasions I can offer you my bespoke upvc conservatory range.

This range still has all the benefits of ease of installation and accompanying support material that you would expect from us. You still have everything you need from a professional company both before and after your purchase. But most of all you get exactly what you require, whether from my modular range or from my custom range - my goal is to give you 100% satisfaction that your requirements are exactly matched. I offer the same service also for timber conservatories.
