The last 10 / 15 years has seen a huge surge in demand for conservatories. However the fascination with "glass houses and living under glass" has not been confined to residential structures only. Many businesses have been adding conservatories and their very own "crystal palaces" in order to provide their customers with scenery and a sense of the surrounding natural environment, while at the same time being protected from the elements.

Entertain your customers in the splendor and beauty of a conservatory.

Many Large Span Conservatories are themed rooms, offering users majestic four season views and memorable entertainment possibilities. That feeling of “living under glass” is hard to beat and often it adds to that special occasion to spend it in these magnificent glass buildings.

Just about every type of business is discovering the benefits and economies of adding conservatories to their business premises. In addition to the more usual hotels and restaurants use many conservatories are now being used as waiting rooms, reception areas, bookshops and exercise areas to name but a few.

A few points to consider when specifying a conservatory or orangery for a commercial application:

• Most large span conservatories require Portal frame works to support the structure. Consult a specialist structural engineer or commercial Conservatory Installer for advice.
• Heat build up can be an issue, design with blinds and air conditioning units in mind.
• Allow for adequate eating in the winter months and evenings.
• Fit quick exit / fire escape doors – and clearly mark their location
• Consider lighting – where will it be located / managed from?
• Safety Glazing – laminated glass and toughed glass requirements.
• External landscaping – especially with regards to users safety.
• Internal Plants: Investigate conservatory plants or perhaps consider replica plants and trees.
• Building regulations and planning permission.

With modern construction methods and portal framing massive structural undertakings can be undertaken in a quick and efficient manner – often much quicker than many business owners realize – meaning that the disruption to their business can be kept to a minimum. Certainly a conservatory is often the most viable solution for extra space when “down time” has to be kept to a minimum - especially compared to a traditional brick built extension.
