Polycarbonate roofing or glass roofing for a conservatory?
What are your thoughts on a glass roof as opposed to a polycarbonate roof for a conservatory? What are the advantages offered by each and how do they differ in terms of their costs?
Reducing size of window & poly roof panels on P-shaped conservatory
Hi, I was wondering if it's doable, and how much it would cost to reduce the size of a second-hand P-shaped conservatory on one side by only 1 foot (by possibly taking out one window panel width and uPVC/poly-carb roof panels to match and adjusting it accordingly to match up with the p side. It's a complicated shape as it is a slightly L-shaped as it wraps around the side of my driveway. But it only needs reducing by a foot on that side to fit, and it was suggested as a possible solution?. But I would value your professional opinion as to whether or not it would be worth the hassle and/or expense? Also the cost of a steel base rather than concrete. It's a large area, 11' x 10 & 14 x 10. It's the 14 x 10 that wraps around down the side, but from the house wall it measures 8' 7", that would need reducing to 7' 5" as the width of my driveway is max 7' 10" but I have 5" soakaway on that side. Plus it would be connecting my neighbours boundary wall! Thank you in advance Y
