Conservatory Building Regulations Guidelines.

A glazed Conservatory is typically exempt from building regulations if it meets several conditions, including:

• It’s built at ground level with a floor area of no more than 30 square metres.
• A minimum of 50% of the new wall and 75% of the roof is glazed or uses translucent material.
• External walls or windows separate the Conservatory from the house.
• The glazing and any fixed electrical installations meet the requirements of the applicable building regulations (more on this later).
• The heating system is independent of your home, with separate temperature and on/off controls.
• The level of glazing in the roof, windows and doors of the original home cannot exceed 25% of the floor area of both the original home and the conservatory combined.
• The level of glazing in the windows, doors and roof of the Conservatory cannot exceed 25% of the floor area of the Conservatory.
• Doors and windows must adhere to current U Values.
• Glazing in doors and windows must be toughened or laminated safety glass to meet British Standard 6206. 

Durabase Steel Base System

Our Durabase steel base system offers a faster, cleaner alternative to traditional methods. It eliminates the need for large footings, reducing waste and mess on site. The Durabase standard is perfect for garden rooms or Conservatories with minimal insulation where building regulation requirements are not necessary.

For projects that require building regulations, DurabasePlus100 exceeds all minimum requirements and can be approved by an independent building control company.

The Durabase method speeds up the groundwork process and can be ready in just one day, eliminating the need for skilled tradespeople. The modular walls come with bricks pre-installed at the factory, allowing quick and easy assembly.
