Of all the many types of conservatories, those made of uPVC are one of the most in-demand because of their affordability, versatility, and durability. A conservatory made of uPVC is made of strong plastic that can survive for many years. PVC is a well-known abbreviation for polyvinyl chloride. In uPVC, however, the ‘u’ stands for ‘unplasticised’, meaning that this material is not mixed with the normal softening components that are normally added on plastics.

One of the many advantages of an uPVC conservatory is that it is the cheapest option for glass or wood conservatories. As for security, uPVC has now an advanced locking system that can provide high level of security for the conservatories. They are very hard to break and in cases they shatter, they split into huge blocks of shards, making them safe compared to materials that break into tiny splinters. Moreover, uPVC is also environment-friendly because they are composed of non-toxic materials that can be recycled.

Another reason for the increasing popularity of uPVC conservatories is their ability to save on energy because of their special insulation material. This material helps with the heating mechanism and also reduces the usage of electricity making them as good choices for those who want to lower their utility bills. More importantly, a conservatory made of uPVC is very low in maintenance. Compared to the wooden type which needs periodic varnishing and cleaning, uPVC can simply be cleaned with only water and soap. Also, this material can last longer even when exposed to extreme conditions. Unlike a wooden conservatory which normally fades when constantly exposed to the sun, uPVC conservatory can survive without having any physical changes.

As for the case of aesthetics, uPVC conservatories are definitely not the last in line. Even though glass and wood conservatories are known for having the classical features for furniture, the minimalist modern style of uPVC is already popular among homeowners. For the minimalist modern theme, there are the simple whitewashed conservatories that can be used. For those who still prefer to stick to the elegance of the classics, however, there are uPVC Victorian styles available. This type of conservatory is the best type when you want to illuminate certain spaces that need natural lighting.

A uPVC Edwardian conservatory, on the other hand, is perfect to build with the character of the classic evergreen style because of its square-fronted projections reminiscent of the classic Edwardian times. A lean-to conservatory is also loved by those who want to maximize space while still keeping the elegant look of a conservatory. Lean-to conservatories can be personalized according to the design desired by the buyer. However, they are most recommended to be paired with Everlite translucent roofing to give the extension a contemporary look. A Lean-to conservatory is usually built along the one side of the house.

So now that you know how convenient it is to build uPVC conservatory, perhaps this will give you an idea on how to provide the greatest value to your home by building the cheapest but reliable form of conservatory.
