The Advantages of Steel Conservatory Bases

One great advantage is that steel conservatory bases are equally good for the professional installer or the DIY home improver - both have found that they save time and money!

And here is why:

• Being a custom-built base it will fit the specific design and size of the conservatory.
• As the steel base is delivered in pre-constructed sections it can be installed in just one day - leaving the installer free to carry on with the construction of the conservatory.
• With no need to dig foundations, the site remains much cleaner and there is minimal disruption to the surrounding area.
• Most patios can remain intact - saving time and expense - as only slabs which coincide with the weight-bearing pads need be removed.
• Low temperatures or bad weather do not halt the installation of steel bases.
• Sandy or other difficult soil conditions are no problem as there is no need for major excavations.
• Difficult and uneven slopes present no problems for steel bases.
• They are ideal for terraced and linked homes, or those with difficult access as the bases arrives in pre-made sections which can be carried through the house if necessary.
• No large scale cement mixing or building needed = less mess and less time.
• No rubble for a conventional base = less cost.
• Cost of skip hire (for things such as removal of soil) is dramatically reduced .
• Manhole covers present no problems as they are accessed through a trap door in the floor.
• Steel bases are ideal for mature gardens where the minimum of disruption will be welcomed.
• Base is delivered to site complete with insulated floor, and all fixtures and fittings.
• The insulated floor is suitable for laminate, carpets and ceramic tiles.
• The design makes the base ideal for the installation of under-floor heating
• Being a light-weight construction if can be used on flat roofs or balconies.
• The base can be dismantled with the conservatory and re-erected elsewhere.
• The steel-base is designed to BSI standard.
• Steel conservatory bases can come with a 10-year warranty, the same as many conservatories.
