The lean-to conservatory is one of the simplest and most popular designs around of this kind of home improvement, thanks to its clean lines and modern, understated look which suits contemporary homes in particular.
You will get maximum space for your extension as economically as possible. At the same time, what these kinds of conservatories do very well is trap the winter sun and turn it into heat via their glass.
It’s a style that has its roots in greenhouses originally constructed facing towards the south to catch as much of the sun as possible and provide shelter against the cold winds blowing in from the north
Also known as Mediterranean-style conservatories, sun rooms or garden rooms, lean-tos are ideal if space at your property is limited, especially under the eaves of the roof – for example in bungalows.
On these conservatories, we can vary the pitch of the roof. So a shallow pitch will go under the low roof of a bungalow, while a steeper one would suit a terraced property perfectly. The roof can be as high or as low as you need it to be, so there’s a lot more practicality and flexibility than you get with conservatories with high apexes.
There are other benefits as well. For instance, because you already have at least one wall already built, a lean-to is a highly cost-effective option. And because services like water, electricity and heat can be channelled easily from the house, these home improvements can also be installed and maintained more affordably than with other types of conservatory. You’ll also improve the energy balance of your home.
Enjoy the extra living space all year round, whether you have a Worthing terraced home or a bungalow in Lancing, and whether you’re after extra dining space, a lounge, greenhouse or playroom. Talk to us today, and bring a little bit of the Mediterranean to Sussex without breaking the bank.
