Portals

Conservatories that are extremely large and require extra support to take the weight of the roof and provide additional stability are known as large span or portal framed conservatories.

The uses for portal roofs are endless – from magnificent swimming pool enclosures to large commercial extensions; anything is possible due to the flexibility and advanced engineering of the large span system.

THIS IS A TRADE ONLY SERVICE. It is vitally important that we receive as much detailed information as possible prior to costing for a portal roof.

Ideally, we would like the following information to be supplied in order for us to provide the most accurate initial quote possible:

• Full drawn style of roof, preferably to some scale in order for anomalies to be picked up Connection to existing buildings
• Full and complete dimensions including angles of splayed walling brickwork returns etc. Facet sizes, IE stretched fronts to Victorian roofs Glazing specification (if glass, detail glass unit spec)
• Pitch of roofs Indicate any full height brickwork to new conservatory – try to avoid it if possible Height to eaves from finished floor level (height of windows)
• Dimensions between ground and finished floor level (if sloping or lower ground level)
• Any height restrictions Fascia and soffit details of the existing buildings (bungalows etc)
• Position of the doors (very important for portal layout)
• Position of the windows and doors to existing buildings (just as important)
• Full postcode or full address of the site for preliminary calculations
• Details of any base works that may have already been undertaken, existing pools and sizes of pool, dimensions of pool in relation to the existing building
