Chris 555 Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 Does anyone know a company who can install a glass veranda room ( like a conservatory but all frame rather than a brick base) I can find companies down south who do this but cant find a company in or or around Sheffield. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you. All coservatorys have to have a good base to sit on. The weight of the glass etc can weigh several tons. You have no need for a dwarf wall but a base yes.

speleo1 Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 i think they mean they do not want a small wall for the glass veranda to sit on,want it straight to the concrete floor base, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccit Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 I think you might be mixing up the base and the wall. As has been said, you can have floor to ceiling glass with no dwarf brick wall. However, you will need a substantial concrete base or raft, probably at least approximately 9 inch deep. Wouldn't have thought there was anything unusual in what you are asking for - have you tried some companies? Of course there will be a frame and then you will have to decide on the roof type. Be aware that it will be like an oven in summer, particularly if it faces south or south west and the glare will be intense. You can get round this to a certain extent with solar glass which is quite expensive. It will also be cold in winter unless you provide good heating appliances.
