Conservatory fitting issue

money is a switched on cookie. So I suspect a sunroom will meet the bill, but with adequate Velux to give light. Just be careful with the tile detail - large concrete interlocking do not go well with Velux on small roofs. Think of cut tiles and how they are fixed. Small plain tiles might fit the bill better.
:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:at switched-on cookie. Others would regard me as "that blimmin' woman" (a way I have been described before now:rotfl:).
Tiles - right - I don't like "large concrete interlocking" (bearing in mind my general hatred for concrete anything-I-can-possibly-help).
Hmmm....small plain tiles....hmmm...I'm trying to visualise exactly what you mean by that. Do you have any google images of what you mean please? Once I can picture them in my mind then I'll have more of an idea what I'd be looking at.
Sunroom rather than conservatory - hmmm....less glass possibly - but I'm guessing one could still have an all-glass roof coming under sunroom heading? Failing that - there's an element of whack a couple of power points into it and I gather the sort of lighting one can use for growing on seeds for the garden indoors has come on in leaps and bounds since I last checked it out online....hmmm.....:think::think:
You will doubtless be pleased to know that a job currently being done in my house looks like it's coming up to my standards....I'm getting it figured-out as to who to pick/not pick here....:cool:0 -
Like me, money lives in a bungalow. so unless she has a suitable gable end wall to use, a tiled roof will probably not be an option.0

An all glass roof will not be an insulated roof, hence my comment about tiles and Velux to form a roof. How many Velux giving how much light would be designed and budgetted for.0
