If a conservatory is something you\u2019ve been thinking about for a while now then you\u2019re bound to have a number of questions in your head that you want answering. Among others you\u2019ll be wondering about the style, size and cost. <\/p>\n
Of course, you\u2019ll probably want to do a lot of research and may even have read quite a bit about the above in the literature you\u2019ve seen. <\/p>\n
And a term that has possibly sprung up a few times is the \u2018dwarf wall\u2019. If you\u2019re new to the construction industry, this could be completely unknown to you. <\/p>\n
We aim to clear up the confusion here and help you get around what a dwarf wall is and whether you\u2019ll want one for your conservatory. <\/p>\n
Just from the name itself it\u2019s not difficult to guess what a dwarf wall is. Dwarf walls are a small wall, very often only a few bricks high and run along at least one side of a conservatory. Conservatories designs differ in this regards and some homeowners choose to have two or even three dwarf walls. It\u2019s really down to the person. <\/p>\n
Dwarf walls are typically 600mm high but of course, this can be altered depending on the style you choose. It may seem strange to think, but dwarf walls bring a certain appeal to conservatories and do improve the aesthetics. <\/p>\n
Most conservatory styles can have a dwarf wall built in or have it as standard, but again this is all down to your own particular preference. Whether you are keen on a Victorian conservatory, lean-to design or even a bespoke style, the dwarf wall can be implemented. <\/p>\n
There are plenty of reasons to consider a dwarf wall for your conservatory and firstly, they help with the transition from home to conservatory. You can use the same type of brick for the wall as your home, ensuring the conservatory complements the property rather than being a standalone feature. <\/p>\n
Your conservatory will also be cheaper to install. Why? Because bricks are cheaper than windows. Rather than having full glass from top to bottom, implementing a dwarf wall helps ease the costs. <\/p>\n
Speaking of the glass, it\u2019ll also remain cleaner with a dwarf wall in place. The dirt from the ground won\u2019t splash up onto the windows, saving you a job in cleaning. <\/p>\n
Dwarf walls are also pretty handy at helping to control the conservatory\u2019s temperature. Because conservatories are mostly glass, it\u2019s difficult to keep the sun\u2019s heat out in summer, but the small wall will aid in reducing extreme temperatures. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
