With conservatories Scotland there are three popular materials to choose from when it comes to the construction. This page looks at hardwood for the conservatory installation when compared to uPVC and aluminium. <\/p>\n

Wooden conservatory benefits<\/h3>\n

Hardwood for conservatories Scotland is taken from deciduous tree. This could be anything from the English oak to Western African sapeles. There\u2019s a lot of choice and hardwood is becoming more popular for its traditional appeal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

The colour you opt for depends on the type of wood you choose. Some woods will mellow with age and don\u2019t require any staining or painting. However, there is also the option stain the wood with specialist paints such as brown, green cream and white.
\nWhen installed, a wooden conservatory creates an excellent appeal unmatched by aluminium and uPVC. Keeping the extension in optimal condition is well worth it, but there will be some maintenance to do this. <\/p>\n

Some woods such as teak and oak won\u2019t need treating because of natural oils, whereas others will need protecting from the elements. Beware that modern paint can destroy wooden conservatories Scotland, whilst a micro-porous stain lets the wood breathe. An application of this every three to five years should be sufficient. <\/p>\n

Properties in conservation areas or listed buildings will be limited to what can and can\u2019t be installed. For example, solar panels and double glazing will rarely be granted approval. This is generally because they change the look and appeal of the home. <\/p>\n

Conservatories Scotland also fall into this category and struggle to achieve planning permission, especially when it\u2019s a uPVC or aluminium construction. <\/p>\n

With a wooden conservatory, you\u2019re more likely to get the planning approval you require, because the installation keeps in line with a property\u2019s traditional appeal. However, whenever you\u2019re in this situation it\u2019s essential to always check with your local council to see what is allowed. <\/p>\n

Are wooden conservatories environmentally friendly?<\/h3>\n

Wood is a popular material in construction and has been used for hundreds of years. When it comes down to environmental friendliness, it stands above a product such as uPVC for one distinct reason \u2013 It will grow and replace itself. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

Woodlands areas are now much better managed and there is more European forestry than 100 years ago. <\/p>\n

Typically it\u2019s the older trees which are used for the construction industry. This means that younger trees will grow to replace, providing more oxygen and helping to reduce CO2 in the atmosphere. <\/p>\n

This is yet another reason that wooden conservatories are popular and gives it a clear advantage in the competitive market. <\/p>\n
