Create Your Perfect Custom Conservatory South West
Conservatories have remained one of the most desirable forms of home improvement for centuries, thanks to their versatile range of potential applications, natural light intake, increase in property value, and, in recent years, thermal efficiency.
Another reason for their popularity is how adaptable conservatories are nowadays, and at DNA Window Solutions, we recognise just how much properties in the South West vary, and as a result, each of our extension installations is made completely bespoke.
Whether it’s a Victorian conservatory with an energy-efficient glass roof for coastal views, a Lean-To style that makes the most of limited external space in Plymouth, or an Edwardian option with Irish oak frames blending into Dartmoor’s natural beauty, bespoke design lets you take full control of your new space.
At DNA Window Solutions, our expert team specialises in designing and installing custom conservatories across Devon, Cornwall, and the wider South West. From your initial design consultation to the final installation, we manage the entire process, ensuring your new conservatory meets building regulations, delivers excellent thermal efficiency, and provides a functional living space you and your family will enjoy for years.
What Makes a Conservatory ‘Custom’?
A custom conservatory is tailored specifically to your property, rather than being a standard size or shape. Working with DNA Window Solutions means you can select every element of your design:
- Conservatory styles: Victorian, Edwardian, lean-to, P-shaped, or a combination of styles for a versatile style.
- Conservatory roofs: Glass, warm roof, tiled, flat, or lantern roofs.
- Frame materials: uPVC or aluminium, offering slim sightlines for maximum natural light.
- Colours and finishes: Choose from classic white, chartwell green, anthracite grey, woodgrain effects, and more.
- Glazing: Double glazing, triple glazing, or acoustic options to reduce heat loss and improve thermal efficiency.
- Doors: French doors, sliding patio doors, or bi-fold options for easy indoor-outdoor flow.
- Size and layout: Tailored to your available floor space, garden area, and desired function.
- Additional features: Roof lanterns, internal pelmets, or specific tile colours to create the perfect solution for your home.
This level of creative control means your new conservatory can be utilised as a home office, additional living room, dining area, workout space, or however you desire.
Designing Your Custom Conservatory South West
Our friendly team will guide you through every choice, explaining the advantages of each option to suit your lifestyle, budget, and property.
Choosing Your Roof Type
The conservatory roof system is crucial, affecting thermal efficiency, natural light, and how the space connects with the rest of your home.
Tiled roof systems
Solid roofs transform your conservatory into a genuine extension of your home. Our SupaLite warm roof achieves a U-value of 0.18, delivering excellent thermal efficiency that keeps the space warm in winter and cool in summer.
This helps lower energy bills, reduce your carbon footprint, and maintain central heating efficiency. The lightweight aluminium frame, 10-year component guarantee, and 60-year tile lifespan provide peace of mind, making it an excellent value investment that often boosts your property’s value.
Glass roofs
Perfect for homeowners seeking maximum natural light and an airy feel, bespoke glass roof systems combine style with optimal energy efficiency, to make your new space useable whatever the weather.
Thermally efficient uPVC frames with twin-walled top caps prevent heat loss in winter and excessive heat gain in summer. Options include self-cleaning glass, solar glass, and heat reflective glass to handle the weather conditions typical in Devon and Cornwall. Plenty of natural light floods your dining area, living room, or garden room, creating a bright, healthy and inviting space all year round.
Flat roof systems
Ideal for properties with lower eaves or a simple design, flat roofs provide long-lasting durability with fewer materials, making them a cost-effective option for modern homes. EPDM rubber systems deliver exceptional weatherproofing for the South West’s unpredictable climate, are low maintenance, and complement a modern conservatory’s clean lines.
Selecting Your Conservatory Style
Choosing the right conservatory style is essential for aesthetics, floor space, and function:
- Victorian conservatories – Characterised by a bay front, steeply pitched roof, and ornate detailing, Victorian designs are a popular conservatory style for period properties, offering a bright and welcoming living space with excellent views of your garden area.
- Edwardian conservatories – With a square or rectangular footprint and flat front, Edwardian conservatories maximise floor space and suit furniture placement. Their versatile style makes them ideal for a living room extension or dining area.
- Lean-to conservatories – For smaller gardens or new builds, lean-to styles are practical and cost-effective, creating functional living space with an abundance of natural light.
- P-shaped conservatories – Combining a Victorian or Edwardian section with a lean-to, these designs offer larger, more versatile spaces. Distinct zones can serve as a dining area and garden room, accommodating extra space needs.
Frame Materials
Your conservatory frame affects maintenance, style, and energy efficiency:
- uPVC frames – The popular choice across the South West, uPVC is low maintenance, rot-resistant, and thermally efficient, helping reduce energy costs. With a range of various colours, uPVC is an excellent value option for homeowners seeking a durable, functional living space.
- Aluminium frames – Offering slim sightlines for maximum natural light, aluminium is perfect for modern homes and homeowners prioritising contemporary aesthetics. While slightly higher in cost, aluminium frames provide a premium, long-lasting finish.
Colours and Finishes
We offer a range of conservatories in classic white, cream, black, and heritage colours like chartwell green, ideal for conservation areas. Woodgrain finishes, including Irish oak, rosewood, and golden oak, provide the look of timber without the maintenance. Contemporary favourites, such as anthracite grey, suit modern conservatories with clean lines.
