Contemporary Thinking At K2

K2 has seen a marked increase in the number of companies opting for no crestings on the roof and utilising bi-folding doors as a move to a more contemporary design for the conservatory. But does it remain a conservatory or become extended living space?

Traditional design is all well suited for period homes but for the modern properties, traditional design may often clash with that of the house itself. One of the most identifiable features of any conservatory is the cresting and finial, and several companies are already opting for the K2 aluminium roof with a ball finial only, with an infill strip for the cresting channel making for a perfectly finished appearance.

Companies are now also starting to look at the opportunities for bi-folding doors in conservatories, combined with alternative roof designs. Conservatory fabricator TNCC have already taken this step and have started to promote these doors as part of an overall conservatory package. The product takes the form of K2 aluminium roof without crestings, Celsius performance glass, TNCC's own bi-folding doors and K2 portal goal posts for additional support at the opening. These elements combine to make for a very different and yet contemporary conservatory.

Charles Fox, sales director of K2 Conservatory Systems comments: 'We are now looking at a far more modern conservatory which is taking design to the next level. The industry has been built on traditional and period design but we are starting to see some more contemporary designs emerge, which is great for the industry and consumer too.'

For those installers looking to offer something a little different then the contemporary conservatory may be the perfect solution to tempt the consumer who doesn't want a traditional conservatory. For those on a sales pitch it may just help you stand out from the crowd.
