In this article we look at thee main types of materials used for conservatories – pvcu, aluminum and hardwood.
PVCu
Through years, many different types of materials have been utilized in construction of conservatories. Stone, brick and wood have all been popular materials and widely used in construction of elegant and functional conservatories down through past three centuries. In recent years, aluminum has become widely used in construction of conservatories. Most recently, a substance which has become known as PVCu has been widely used in construction of conservatories throughout United Kingdom and rest of world.
In considering this article, one might wonder about composition of PVCu. “PVC” stands for “Poly Vinyl Chloride.” Poly Vinyl Chloride is a chemical compound consisting of chlorine, carbon and hydrogen. The “u” appended at end of moniker stands for “unplasticised” or “unmodified.” In layman’s terms, this means that material or product has not been injected with additional chemicals called plasticizers. Plasticizers are designed to soften materials. PVCu is derived essentially from petroleum or natural gas and common salt. Most PVCu systems are reinforced with aluminum.
As mentioned in this article, PVCu has become most popular choice of construction material for conservatories in U.K. and elsewhere today. One of primary reasons that PVCu conservatories have become so popular is because of its relatively inexpensive cost. The use of PVCu in construction of conservatories have made these home additions more affordable and more available to families across U.K. and world over.
Additionally, PVCu has proven to be a very good insulator. Through use of PVCu, a home owner is able to lower energy costs associated with a conservatory.
PVCu is crafted to look like authentic wood such as mahogany or oak. Additionally, a flat white coloration is popular with conservatory owners.
PVCu conservatories are easy to maintain. Additionally, PVCu is very durable and a long lasting material that will bring pleasures of conservatory to future generations.

Practicality has followed advancement and utilization of conservatories through years.
