Centurion DIY Conservatory Kits

11 October 2011

When you order a DIY Conservatory Kit, you want to be sure that you have everything prepared for the job ahead. In this blog post we give you an overview of what to expect when your DIY Conservatory is delivered.

Centurion DIY Conservatory kits will come with the following –

PVCu Conservatory frame
Conservatory roof
Windows and doors (glazing) – this is supplied as 28mm toughened safety glass sealed units
External cills - supplied mitred on the ends, ready for sealing with angled corner joiners
Masonry fixings
Self tapping screws to join frames where needed
Couplers to connect frames in the corners – depending on which conservatory you order these will either be round poles, triangular kite mullions or square posts
Coupling strip used to hide any joints between frames
Glazing packers to assist in aligning the glazing
Rainwater goods – guttering and down pipes
Installation kit with mastics

On delivery, you will also receive full installation guides which include one for the conservatory roof and one for the conservatory frames.

In addition, you will need suitable flashing to seal the roof of your conservatory to the wall of your house. Lead flashing will give you a longer lasting result but if speed is off the essence, then you can use a sticky bitumen flash band. You can also purchase at an additional cost, internal PVCu window boards if they are required. Window boards provide an indoor cill which you can use to add a little style to your conservatory windows, as well as somewhere to place ornaments, photo frames, lamps and vases.

You are now ready to build your very own Do-It-Yourself conservatory.
