If you have chosen a dwarf wall conservatory, you now need to build the wall on which the frames of the conservatory will sit.
What about other conservatory styles?
Even if you have chosen a full-height conservatory we still recommend that you lay at least one course of bricks on which to position the conservatory frames.
Height
The dwarf wall is typically 600mm in height, but if you want any different height (lower, 3/4 or full height) we will build your frames to suit. We always supply you with your conservatory base plan showing all dimensions as soon as you place your order.
Depth
We recommend you build a cavity wall 250mm minimum width. You can use cheaper, lighter block rather than bricks for the internal skin. The wall cavity should be insulated with polystyrene block.
