Here, we see ‘before’ and ‘after’ shots of a collaborative Richmond Oak & InterCounty conservatory project.
An old, white UPVC conservatory with off-the-peg plastic gutters, and its replacement: a fabulous new oak conservatory with our BBA-approved Seamless Aluminium Gutters in polyester, powder-coated aluminium.
The existing plastic structure was hardly an appropriate addition to this beautiful, thatched, listed, stone cottage, nestling in the Northamptonshire countryside. The UPVC gutters were a basic, modernist, angular half-round design – completely out of place for such a historic building. Now, the subtle hues of the natural oak conservatory blend far better into this English country setting. Thanks to InterCounty Seamless Aluminium Guttering, these customers now have a gloss black, traditionally-styled rainwater system, complete with round section downpipes which work perfectly – both practically and aesthetically – in these surroundings.
This Richmond Oak & InterCounty conservatory transformation is striking. The upgrade takes the vista from something that Prince Charles might have had unflattering and stern words for, to something that looks like a proper representation of English workmanship.
Being a champion of environmental issues, as well as architectural ones, His Royal Highness might not have been too thrilled by the UPVC in use in the original structure either, as it is a notoriously non eco-friendly material. On the other hand, nothing could be more natural than oak, and aluminium is one of the greenest and most easily recyclable metals.
We feel that the completed project is something that both Richmond Oak Conservatories and the homeowners can be proud of. And we feel pretty good about it ourselves too!
