John Savage, MD www.sehbac.com 1 SEH BAC LIFESTYLE 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.

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. 6 www.sehbac.com SEH BAC LIFESTYLE YOUR OPTIONS REPLACE REBUILD NEW BUILD We can transform your existing conservatory by replacing Got an existing conservatory that’s past its prime?
