They are the quickest, easiest and cheapest way to add space to your home and are now one of the UK’s most popular home improvement products.
They are everywhere you look, on every type of property, in all types of locations and neighbourhoods, streets, roads, lanes and housing estates. It’s a fact, conservatories seem to be everywhere.
I have noticed that particually on the new modern housing estates, there are often rows of conservatories all looking similar and on the same style houses, almost like a cookie cutter situation – all looking the same and like somewhat of a ‘conservatory disease’ or epidemic.
So why are conservatories so popular? I think part of the answer to this is the great value added space that is achieved for relatively little cost, saving money compared with traditional extensions, and the fact that it can be achieved very easily and quickly, often within a month from order to completion.
Of course, there is also the ‘keeping up with the Jones’s’ scenario. One person installs a lovely conservatory for everyone to see, someone else decides to do the same, and so on… they just seem to spread.
Conservatories started getting really popular back in 2002 and the industry has continued to grow, somewhat providing a god sent lifeline for the struggling double glazing industry and it is thought that they now form well over half of all sales within the industry.
