Blue room
Pilkington Activ Blue has been specified in a conservatory in the village of Sarnau, Wales.
With a bespoke design that spans two floors, the gable-style conservatory uses this self-cleaning glass to help take advantage of the spectacular views of the Welsh countryside.
The Stamp family, who own the house, wanted a conservatory they could use all year round to enjoy the picturesque view and sunset across the valley. They contacted conservatory specialists Nolan uPVC for a solution, who after working with the Stamps to design their dream conservatory, specified Pilkington Activ Blue. The insulating glass units used 4mm toughened Pilkington Activ Blue for the outer pane of the IGU combined with 4mm Pilkington K Glass for the inner pane, ensuring that the conservatory can be used all year round.
To make the most of the bright, natural surroundings, Nolan uPVC devised a grated metal floor for the top storey which allows sunshine to filter through to the ground floor and flood the area with natural light. This floor was easily incorporated into the steel support structure that holds the conservatory together and adds to its distinctive look.
As well as creating two distinguished new rooms, the Stamps wanted to ensure that the conservatory was aligned with the rest of their home. To achieve this, the conservatory entrance was created using internal PVC-U bi-folding doors joining it seamlessly and allowing natural light into the adjoining room.
