THE CONSTRUCTION EXPERTS

Most conservatory companies started out in double glazing before branching out into the more elaborate home improvement projects. Often, they don’t have the knowledge and the expertise to offer quality conservatories, orangeries and glazed extensions. At best, the products they install don’t do the homeowner’s vision justice. At worst, they can be structurally unsound. At SEH BAC, we’ve come from the opposite direction. We began offering premium quality conservatory products after decades of experience in the construction sector. Today we’re part of a £135m One Group Construction, one of the UK’s biggest and most respected privately owned , engineering and home improvement businesses – and when you work with us, you benefit from our extensive expertise and group resources. SEH BAC conservatories are expertly designed, meticulously crafted, and quality checked to the finest detail.

UPVC, TIMBER OR WHICH IS RIGHT FOR YOU?

When you set out to add a conservatory, orangery or glazed extension to your home, you want a product that perfectly matches the look and feel of your property – and the first big decision you have to make is what material you want to use. At SEH BAC, we offer a choice of three fantastic high-performance materials, all of which are capable of providing you with stylish looks, exceptional energy efficiency and a lifetime of outstanding performance.

UPVC Not just relatively cost-effective, but offering quicker manufacturing times and virtually no maintenance, uPVC provides a practical and durable window solution that can work well on a huge range of properties.

ALUMINIUM With its unmistakably sleek, stylish aesthetics, aluminium’s popularity has soared in recent years – thanks in part to TV shows like Grand Designs, where it’s frequently used in striking and ambitious contemporary self-build projects.

TIMBER It’s no surprise that timber is one of the most enduringly popular window materials. Effortlessly elegant, with a timeless, traditional aesthetic that no competitor can match, it’s just as suited to bringing a touch of vintage class to newer properties as it is to maintaining the historic character of period ones.

COMBINATIONS

Of course, you’re not just limited to one design. Combination conservatories allow you to create a variety of stylish, versatile spaces that draw on the strengths of multiple designs.

T-SHAPE CONSERVATORIES A distinctive central projection allows T-shape conservatories to be divided into two different areas, or to create one larger area. More space means more potential – T-shape conservatories can be used for a vast array of different purposes. However, their size and shape make them more suited for bigger properties, as the finished conservatory takes up more space than an average design.

P-SHAPE CONSERVATORIES Ideal for larger, detached properties, the versatile P-shape conservatory combines the long, rectangular lean-to with the three or five-faceted Victorian style. Like the T-shape, this makes the P-shape ideal for use as two separate living areas. Many homeowners use the longer, lean-to section as a dining area, for example, and the rounded Victorian section as a lounge.
