Installation Of The Month Archive
Conservatory of the year 2
3rd March 2007
The pictures do not really do this conservatory justice. The house and garden are really lovely and make a conservatory leading from one to the other a natural improvement. There is even a secret garden leading from a rear section of the...
Conservatory of the year
3rd February 2007
We installed some lovely conservatories in 2006 but we think that this is the nicest. Website limitations mean we can only show one installation photograph per Conservatory of the Month.......so we intend to make the inside of this one...
The missing link
3rd January 2007
Clever design enables one room to be linked to another by using a conservatory. This always adds more value than a regular build leading off a single room. In this case, the conservatory links one part of the house to the other creating a...
Clever use of the garage
3rd December 2006
This conservatory was cleverly designed to make use of the space available by utilising the garage wall within the design. Of course, we had to build up and insulate the wall so that the heat loss was minimised in order to comply with building...
Corner Conservatory
3rd November 2006
We are often asked to fit conservatories into a corner where the existing walls are a great help but occasionally we are requested to design on to an external corner of the house. Clever use of box gutters can allow a conservatory to still be...
Move or Improve chooses Admiral... again
3rd October 2006
Move or Improve? have selected this installation to feature in their December issue. We are proud to have been selected to appear twice in such a prestigious publication. The conservatory was required to link the new kitchen to an upgraded...
Outside it looks lovely
3rd July 2006
The patio finishes this conservatory off a treat. This was a really interesting installation as the client is an expert on ground works due to a career in the Oil Industry. One of the main reasons he chose Admiral was because we were prepared...
Big enough for a party
3rd June 2006
This client needed a conservatory that was big enough to use for entertaining friends at summer barbeques or winter dinner parties. It certainly beats hiring a marquee and demonstrates how practical as well as attractive a well designed...
They said it could not be done!
3rd May 2006
A conversation during a haircut led to this installation! The salon owner, a well known local personality suggested to Steve our Managing Director that it was impossible to build an open plan conservatory on to his home because the house had...
Looks like wood
3rd April 2006
Gold tie bars and a glass roof are enough to convince most visitors that this is a timber conservatory. It is actually the latest Rosewood foil applied to the pvc profile and is maintenance free! We must compliment the clients on the tasteful...
White on White
3rd March 2006
Many clients ask if white conservatory frames will look OK against a whitewashed house wall. This photograph proves that they do! You do not have to pay extra for coloured frames just to make the conservatory stand out, sometimes, the result...
Making the most of the view
3rd February 2006
Around 90% of our conservatories are specified as dwarf wall models, many with higher flank walls to one or both sides. However,this lovely installation shows how impressive they can look without walls. The view is completely uninterrupted and...
Style and maximum light
3rd December 2005
This photograph, taken in winter shows the twin benefits of light and view. Many people apparently feel depressed during the winter due to lack of daylight. Not the case with many of our customers. Maybe there are health benefits to adding a...
Kitchen too small?
3rd November 2005
We have just published an article warning of the consequences faced by people who build open plan rooms without the necessary building regulation approvals (available on request). Sometimes, open plan is the only real option as with this...
Twin Gables.............
3rd September 2005
......................a Victorian style front and even a box gutter! Not all designs are easy. This one manages to harmonise a T shape with the modern look of the house. The roof looks quite spectacular from the inside, rising up from...
Country Life would be proud to feature this one...
3rd August 2005
This lovely farmhouse previously had a flat roofed timber annexe where the conservatory is now situated that did little to enhance the appearance of the house. Although somewhat hesitant initially to use PVC frames, the clients were eventually...
A step up on the old patio arrangement.........
3rd July 2005
Occasionally there is more room at the side of the house than the rear. Although this can sometimes mean that planning permission is required, it is seldom a problem obtaining it. This conservatory takes advantage of a spacious new...
Tucked under the eaves
3rd June 2005
A pitched tile roof at the back, a garage wall to be utilised down one side and still, this client requested a hipped roof style. This installation is more difficult than it looks. We are sure that there would have been many problems if the...
OK...... so we cheated on this one...
3rd May 2005
This was not actually installed by Admiral. It was manufactured and fitted by our new hardwood conservatory supplier Quayside Conservatories. We are delighted to be able to announce that after an absence of ten years we are back in the...
When size definitely becomes an issue
3rd April 2005
Believe it or not, when the base was built, the client thought that this conservatory was going to be too small ! This is a common issue as the foot print or floor of a conservatory is far less than the volume...leading to uncertainty...
