What is a Conservatory?
A Conservatory is really just another, wonderful class of Sunroom.
Other names used for Conservatories include: Orangerie, Solarium, Green house, Atrium, Garden Room, Patio Room, and more.
A well-designed, high quality conservatory or sunroom will quickly become the most used room in your home.
As with any addition to your home, you should absolutely seek out the help and advice of an excellent contractor, designer and/or architect to help you decide what styles and materials will best compliment your home, your lifestyle, and your budget.
The atmosphere, and elegance of a high quality Conservatory is unmistakable, but it is extremely important to choose the right materials and design for your specific climate, needs and desires.

Including: Victorian, Georgian, and Edwardian, but can also be quite contemporary or custom-designed to blend into and compliment any type of home.

If you decide to go the DIY route, I highly reccomend arranging a visit w/ manufacturer to get training AND to arrange a time where you can visit a jobsite and watch an installation. (It is well worth the extra money to pay a designer and a conservatory contractor to help you!)
