Portland Conservatories is re-launching its range of designs at a time when homeowners may be looking to improve and extend rather than move.

Portland Conservatories is re-launching its range of designs at a time when homeowners may be looking to improve and extend rather than move.

In the current economic climate, extending a home by adding a stylish conservatory will solve the issue of space for homeowners who are unable to sell their homes, or do not wish the inconvenience of moving.

Chris Redfern, Chief Operating Officer of Portland Conservatories, said: We appreciate that a lot of people’s dreams and ambitions might be affected by the credit crunch, but we would urge them to think about a different and affordable way of increasing their living space, improving their home and also their lifestyle.”

Portland Conservatories offers traditional ( Edwardian and Victorian ) conservatory designs together with a range of contemporary conservatories to better suit the current furnishing and fashion preferences of today’s home improvement market. Although conservatories were first used to “conserve” exotic plants from the extremes of the British weather, they are increasingly being seen as one of the most adaptable and favourite rooms in a home. The availability of stylish accessories, furniture and discrete heating systems has opened up the conservatory as an all-year-round room.

“Some people still associate a conservatory with flowery, upholstered cane furniture and a place to take afternoon tea,” said Mr Redfern. “But the reality is they can be used for anything – a gym, an office, a dining room, a children’s play room or a sanctuary for relaxation.”

He added: “Another myth is that conservatories can be too hot and uncomfortable in the summer and too cold to use in the winter. That’s not the case, with Portland's roof ventilating systems and double-glazed units, they can be used all the year round and certainly look more attractive and are often cheaper than a conventional extension.”

With enhancement options available on the market such as underfloor heating, tiled or wooden flooring, air-conditioning and blinds, a conservatory can be adapted to suit the environment, giving cost-effective and stylish living space.

Portland Conservatories, which are self-build, take in the region of two to three weeks to install and can be assembled by a competent enthusiast or by a reputable joiner - simple step by step instructions guide the customer through the assembly process. As well as re-launching its designs, the company has also revamped its website, which provides further information about the Portland range along with advice on local authority conservatory planning permission requirements .

The company is also doing its bit for the environment, with all the timber components being sourced from sustainable and managed forests, which are FSC certified.

The new range of Portland conservatories bring the outside in, be it a traditional gable-ended unit, a stylish lean-to or a contemporary orangery they certainly extend the home with a significant amount of style and panache.
