Conservatories have been considered as the most popular means of home improvement since 300 years. During 21st century many people have been opting for constructing a conservatory in their home for enhancing the look of home. A transition between the main residence and natural surroundings of the home is provided by a conservatory. Three main types of conservatories are there based on the material used such as PVCu, aluminum, and hardwood.
PVCu Conservatory Construction:
Throughout the last three centuries only stone, brick and wood have been used in construction of a conservatory. Later aluminum has been used for construction. The most recent advanced substance that has been used for constructing a conservatory is PVCu. Modern conservatories use PVCu for a conservatory throughout the United Kingdom and other parts of the world.
PVC stands for Poly Vinyl Chloride consisting of chlorine, carbon, and hydrogen. The ‘u’ that is written by the side stands for ‘plasticized’ or ‘unmodified’. The compound is least expensive and hence it is most popularly used for conservatories. This made the home additions affordable for many people in the U.K and in the world. PVC is a very good insulator, and hence lower energy costs are associated with a PVCu conservatory. The maintenance of these conservatories is also easy. PVCu is more durable and hence makes the conservatory to be used for future generations.
Aluminum Conservatory Construction:

Many designs and models can be created using aluminum. The finishing of aluminum conservatories is in such a way that there are no cracks or peels. Although aluminum is expensive when compared to PVC, the aluminum conservatories are being used by many people.
