Conservatories can be built with softwood and hardwood. Oak is not the only type of hardwood that can be used to design the structure and frame of a conservatory, but it is one that probably sits at the top of the list or preferred materials. There are many qualities it possesses that make it the ideal choice for many. Natural beauty This is one of the more naturally attractive hardwoods. The grains just seem to naturally mesh together nicely. It has a very elegant quality that makes it one of the most sought after materials. Many feel this natural attraction to its beauty. When the unique design of the grain meets the sun's rays, it has an appeal like no other. Aesthetically, it complements the design of many conservatories. Durable qualities Oak is a natural resource that has been around since the beginning of time. Evidence is seen in many of today's historical artifacts. There are many ships and structures that were created in Medieval times, but have withstood the test of time. This is probably one of the most sturdy and solid woods out in the market today. Oak is more commonly used in home furniture. The natural strength it offers makes it a wise choice in the structures and pillars. With proper maintenance and care, this unique space can be passed on to generations to come. Easy to shape Looking at oak can be a little deceiving because of its strong qualities, but do not be fooled; this material can easily be shaped and molded to perform many different functions. Blends well with the environment Many people that setup an oak conservatory do it not only for the extra space that it creates for the house, but also for the beauty it creates in the outer yard. Oak has an orange-like, reddish color that is quite nice to look at. The natural look of the grains still gives it that natural feeling. When one looks at this structure, one gets the feeling of being in nature. Integrates well with furniture and other structures Oak also works well with different types of furniture, especially with wooden furniture. This material is very versatile. It also works well with other structures like brick, painted walls and cement finishes. There is also the option for one to paint the structure of the timber orangery to match the surrounding furniture or structures. Raises the value of the property When oak conservatories are built, it will automatically increase the value of the house. Many people don't think about this because the extra space that is offered is usually for immediate use. When a structure like this is built, there is an obvious investment that must be made. Depending on the budget of the homeowner, one can either spend a lavish amount of money to create the ideal space or a minimum amount. At that moment, it may seem that a lot of money is being spent, it is actually an investment which will add to the value of the existing house. If any thoughts come to mind to sell the house, a higher price can probably be had. Oak conservatories enhance the value even more so.

It's not always easy to tackle a project like this and it's usually suggested to consult the professional services. A trained consultant can discuss the different types of styles and shapes to explore and how to tailor it to one's style and needs. One has the option to look at contemporary and traditional styles. Consultants also know if there are any policies or laws that need to be considered when building a conservatory. It may take a bit of time, but it is time that will be well spent.
