All Everbrite Direct Conservatories come with a comprehensive technical guide to building your conservatory. This guide includes instructions for assembly of the conservatory frame and specification of the base and any brickwork required. You should consult this guide before commencing any building work on your site.

The information below is for general guidance only to help you to select the size of conservatory that you require.

When measuring your site, please bear in mind the following:

1. All sizes on this web site are in mm.

2. All dimensions are internal frame sizes.

3. All our conservatories are manufactured to within plus or minus 5mm of the given size.

4. Never assume your house wall is plumb – always check using a line and weight. This is especially important when calculating the size of your base. If the wall overhangs the base, add this measurement to your base dimensions. For example, if your wall overhangs by 30 mm and the base for your conservatory is specified as 3000 mm, you would make the overall base projection 3030 mm and pack off the conservatory frame.

5. As a general guide, the size of the conservatory base should be the width and depth of the conservatory frame plus XXmm. Please consult the technical guide for your particular conservatory before commencing building work.

6. When planning your conservatory, always be aware of obstructions – common examples are listed below. If you are in any doubt, consult a professional surveyor before commencing building work.

Common obstructions:
 
Central heating exhaust flu
This must NOT under any circumstances vent into a conservatory (or any enclosed space) – ducting kits are available to overcome this, but these must be fitted by a professional central heating engineer.

Manholes
Provided you use a double sealed manhole cover, a manhole can be placed inside a conservatory as long as the footings or dwarf walls do not cover it. Otherwise you will need to either re-position the conservatory or move the manhole. (Which will require building regulation approval in England and Wales.)
 
Soil Pipes
If these are inside the conservatory they will inevitably exit through the roof. In this case great care must be taken to ensure that you seal around the pipe to keep your conservatory weather tight.

Downpipes
Existing downpipes from your house guttering can easily be repositioned and should always be moved rather than running down through the conservatory.

Gullys
These should also be repositioned if they interfere with the positioning of the conservatory.
