Classic Double Hipped Edwardian Conservatory Installation
Project Overview
At Richard Thomas Conservatories, Extensions, Windows, and Doors, we specialise in designing and installing high-quality conservatories that blend traditional charm with modern innovation. This recent project – a classic double-hipped Edwardian conservatory – showcases our commitment to craftsmanship, functionality, and aesthetic appeal.
The homeowners wanted a spacious, light-filled extension that could be used comfortably throughout the year. Our team provided a bespoke Edwardian-style conservatory, featuring Four Seasons specialist glazing and self-cleaning glass, ensuring a low-maintenance, energy-efficient solution. In addition, we completed the project by installing a new patio and a paved pathway, enhancing the outdoor space and seamlessly connecting the conservatory to the garden.
Project Details
Elegant Double-Hipped Edwardian Design
The double-hipped roof of this conservatory is a key feature of Edwardian architecture, offering a symmetrical, classic aesthetic while allowing ample natural light to flood the interior. The high-pitched design creates a spacious and airy environment, making it a perfect space for dining, relaxing, or entertaining guests.
Four Seasons Specialist Glazing
To ensure year-round comfort, we installed Four Seasons specialist glazing, which offers superior thermal insulation. This advanced glazing technology helps to:
- Reflect excess heat in summer, keeping the space cool and comfortable
- Retain warmth in winter, reducing energy bills and enhancing efficiency
- Block harmful UV rays, protecting furniture and flooring from sun damage
Self-Cleaning Glass for Low Maintenance
We incorporated self-cleaning glass into the roof panels, providing a hassle-free solution for the homeowners. This innovative glass coating helps break down dirt, allowing rainwater to wash away debris, ensuring a clear and pristine look with minimal effort.
Patio and Slabbed Pathway Installation
To complete the project, we installed a new patio and a slabbed pathway, creating a seamless transition between the conservatory and the garden. The carefully chosen paving materials complement the property’s exterior while providing a durable, slip-resistant surface for easy access.
Challenges and Solutions
One challenge of this project was ensuring the new conservatory integrated perfectly with the existing property. By using a double-hipped design, we maintained architectural harmony while maximising the internal space. Additionally, the specialist glazing and self-cleaning glass addressed the client’s request for a low-maintenance yet high-performance solution.
Client Feedback
The homeowners were delighted with the final result, praising the high-quality workmanship and professional service provided by the Richard Thomas team. They particularly appreciated the year-round usability of their new conservatory and the seamless outdoor connection created by the new patio and pathway.
“We couldn’t be happier with our new conservatory! The design is stunning, and the space is usable in all seasons. The self-cleaning glass is a fantastic feature, and the new patio has really transformed our outdoor area. A huge thank you to the Richard Thomas team!”
