In climates such as that of Great Yarmouth brick conservatories are in demand. At K Rundell, we find this is an increasingly popular type of home extension.
What are the benefits of a brick conservatory?
A conservatory built of bricks rather than prefabricated uPVC panels is a proper home extension, and it delivers a number of benefits that make it a worthwhile investment. It can bring light into your living space; it has superior insulation; it can be customised to suit your style; and it can be put to any number of uses.
An obvious advantage of a brick conservatory is that, whilst it’s more robust than a PVC or glass annexe, it lets lots of natural light into your house compared with some other brick extensions, thanks to the large windows and, if you so choose, the part-glazed roof. You get a bright and airy space, a transition between the inner-sanctum of your home and the great outdoors. This is great for your mood and, some say, can actually improve your well-being: natural light tends to reduce stress and make people more productive.
A brick conservatory also offers superior insulation. As compared with conservatories assembled from prefabricated panels, brick builds can be heated cost-efficiently and so maintain comfortable temperatures all year round. You’re able to make full use of the additional living space in winter as well as in summer, without seeing your heating bills soar. The insulating properties of the brick walls help to regulate the temperature in summer, too, so that you don’t get the sweltering sauna that was your granny’s conservatory! The ability to regulate the temperature of a brick conservatory is an advantage which isn’t to be overlooked. A solid tiled roof provides outstanding thermal efficiency. Just like in the rest of your house, you get a comfortable environment throughout the year. But that’s not all: a proper tiled roof on a brick structure eliminates intrusive noise from outside.
Then there’s the durability. Constructed from sturdy, weather-resistant materials, they need no more maintenance than the rest of your home, they age well in appearance, and they contribute to the value of your property. A brick conservatory isn’t a flimsy temporary annexe – it’s a home extension that’s built to last as long as the rest of your house.
That brings us to the versatility of a brick-built conservatory. It can serve a as a sun lounge in winter and a place for entertaining guests in summer (an indoor extension of your patio, if you will). Alternatively, how about a dining area, a home office, or a playroom? A brick conservatory really does provide endless possibilities. It’s a flexible space which magically adapts itself to your lifestyle.
