conservatories THE PERFECT SOLUTION FOR CONSERVATORY BASES It’s All about the Base »»Elwyn Roberts, Managing Director of Wye Valley Engineering, is on a mission to dispel the misconception that a prefabricated conservatory base is a cheap alternative to a traditional cement and brick-built base. He explains to Clearview why there are many other advantages to the system than price alone. “In cost terms, the prefabricated Durabase is fairly comparable to bricks and cement,” Elwyn begins. “But it’s the many other benefits it offers that gives it its appeal. “For starters, it is quicker to install. It arrives on site in kit form and is ready to assemble. This makes it easier to install, keeping mess and disruption to a minimum. The homeowner’s garden isn’t turned into a building site. There’s less mess for the installer to clear up and it goes together much quicker than bricks and cement. That means less time spent on each job. “Durabase can be made to suit any situation and can incorporate drains and manholes, alleviating the need for these to be relocated, which can often be the case with traditional bases. So there’s no need to outsource such work to additional trades, which makes the whole process much easier to manage, putting the installer in control of the whole build and reducing room for delay. What’s more, the process of installing Durabase is not as dependant on favourable weather conditions as with cement and brick. “In addition to the Durabase, we also offer modular walls in as many as 30 brick finishes or renders, meaning there’s something to suit almost any property. This replaces the traditional brick-built dwarf wall and thus takes away the necessity for a bricklayer for the install. “More and more conservatories are now falling under building regulations and are subject to U-values. Not only are our products produced with the required U-values to meet building regulations but they also offer the associated energy efficiency benefits to the homeowner and the environment. “Last, but by no means least, we offer a 25 year guarantee on our products. Now that’s something you won’t even get on your conservatory, never mind a traditional conservatory base!” For more information call 01432266507 or go to www.durabase.co.uk LESS TIME! LESS HASSLE!
