CONSERVATORY DETAILS
COMMERCIAL
- 2004 WINNER/OVERALL SPECIAL COMMENDATION
This
highly unusual conservatory is built on the penthouse apartment of a four-storey
block in Woolacombe, Devon. The conservatory has spectacular views over
the golden sands of Woolacombe Bay and the Atlantic Ocean.
Exmoor
Fascias Limited worked closely with the Developer and Ultraframe Technical
Department, to create this nine metre wide semi-circular conservatory,
which was built to give an uninterrupted view of the coastline and to
utilise the maximum space available. Incorporating a glass Ultraframe
roof with semi-circular Bi-Fold doors below, Exmoor Fascias were able
to create a maximum opening onto the new roof decking and make the most
of this unique atmospheric location.
LEAN-TO
- 2003 WINNER
The customers specified that the conservatory was in keeping with the existing
property and it provided a room with an unobstructed view of the adjacent
estuary. Exmoor Fascias solution was to build a double-hipped lean-to conservatory
on an existing balcony, with additional supports providing increased structural
integrity. In addition, the pitch of the conservatory roof was matched to
suit the pitch of the main building, adding welcome extra space that perfectly
complimented the house and garden.
COMMERCIAL
PORTAL - 2002 WINNER/OVERALL SPECIAL COMMENDATION
Situated on an esplanade, and climbing up a large hill, the front entrance
being at ground level and the rear entrance being five stories high. The redevelopment
of this sea facing hotel to luxurious flats required a communal conservatory
7.8m walkway to lead from the rear carpark to the top floor and lift, together
with a 12.5m by 6.7m Ultraspan Portal roof covering the centre of the building
and incorporating a hipped conservatory roof above the lift shaft. Glazed
with 16mm clear polycarbonate sheets the roof allows light to the centre quadrangle
of the building and offers an attractive and complex feature to the conversion.
NEW
BUILD - 2002 WINNER/OVERALL SPECIAL COMMENDATION
We were asked to design and install a light oak conservatory to form part
of the main dwelling and create a light and airy entrance hall. Thanks to
the versatility of the Ultraframe Roofing System we were able to create a
pitch of 45°, and take advantage of being able to offer the 32mm bronze
polycarbonate that is unique to the Ultraframe System to compliment the roof
bars and blend in with the slate roof, as well as offering the future house
owner a degr ee of privacy.
LARGE
VICTORIAN - 2001 WINNER
We were requested by the customer to install a traditional conservatory onto
their 18th Century Manor House. The installation itself had to be large enough
to cater for large dinner parties. The finished installation includes thermostatically
controlled roof vents and blue Pilkington K glass. We were impressed with
the versatility of the Ultraframe system which meant that this large 10m x
5.75m roof did not have to be built with a portal frame saving both time and
money.
