Ramsdale Home Blog

Here at Ramsdales not only do we provide our qualified, professional builders but we also sell our conservatories on a supply only basis, giving you the chance to experience the satisfaction of building your own conservatory and being able to show everyone the fruits of your labour.

There are ways to get the conservatory you want at a fraction of its usual cost, and that’s by getting a supply only conservatory.

Supply only conservatories are also known as DIY conservatories. That’s when you get a conservatory and either hire a builder to build it or do it yourself. Buying supply only conservatories is a great way to get a good quality conservatory at an attractive price.

The economic climate is not at its best and the opportunity to save money, whilst also increasing the quality of your home life, a conservatory can be a great addition to your home.

Flooring

Real hardwood is a good option for conservatory flooring as it’s extremely durable and creates depth.
There are two types of hardwood flooring to choose from: solid or engineered. Solid Hardwood is made up of just one solid piece of wood.
Engineered wood, however, is made up of layers of tightly compressed hardwood veneer and is less susceptible to the effects of moisture and changes in temperature, making it more suitable for the conservatory and more compatible with under-floor heating.

Lighting

Another important factor when creating the perfect ambience in your conservatory is lighting. You can have ceiling lights fitted to a conservatory roof, however you must bear in mind weight restrictions.

If you choose this option, go for a combined light and ceiling fan – you will be grateful for the extra breeze on a hot summer’s day. Another alternative is to use soft lighting, from the sources such as floor and table lamps or spotlights, to create a more relaxed homely atmosphere.
