Is expanding your living space on your home improvement to-do list? Then you may be wondering whether a conservatory or a conventional extension would be a better choice.
Usually it would depend on your preferences, budget and lifestyle.
Here at Armour Windows, we provide top quality conservatories that are made-to-measure and blend into the existing design of your property. In this article, we’ll compare conservatories and extensions, discussing their benefits, costs and suitability for different purposes.
What is the difference between a Conservatory & an Extension?
One of the main differences between the two of them is how they’re built. A conservatory is essentially a glass structure attached to the side of the home with a glass or polycarbonate roof. They are designed to maximise sunlight and ventilation and can be transformed into a dining room, gym, lounge area, home office or kitchen.
However, an extension is constructed of similar materials as the existing building to create a seamless appearance, including a solid roof and walls. The materials used to build them are chosen based on structural and insulation needs, as well as budget and design considerations.
Just like a conservatory, an extension can be used for various purposes and can expand your living area, providing a comfortable and enjoyable space for you and your family.
When does a Conservatory become an Extension?
In general, a conservatory officially becomes an extension when it exceeds the limits and conditions set forth for permitted development. These limits often include factors such as size, height, and placement on the property.
Once a conservatory surpasses these limits, it is no longer considered a permitted development and may require planning approval. At this point, it is categorised as an extension, subject to the regulations and procedures governing the construction of extensions in the relevant jurisdiction.
