There are many benefits to using a steel base system for your conservatory or extension project. These extensions are a great way for homeowners to expand the space in their building and make the most of the time spent at the property. These extra rooms can be used for all sorts of purposes such as home gyms, dining rooms or play areas for children, and when constructed and installed to a good standard, can even increase the prospective value of a home.
Traditionally, conservatories, orangeries and extensions are built from the ground up atop large, deep concrete foundations, often referred to as a wet system. Concrete is exceptionally durable and built to last, and is widely trusted for this reason, but it has many drawbacks. After digging out the space required for the extension, concrete is carefully poured in and left to set for a few weeks. Once it has dried, the rest of the conservatory can be built.
For a while, steel frame systems have existed as an alternative to concrete bases as they are much quicker, easier to install and cheaper overall thanks to more accessible materials and fewer professional workers and equipment needed. Durabase, however, goes one step further. We use small concrete pads alongside an innovative steel design to provide a versatile, robust conservatory base which can be built on uneven or sloping sites in less than two days! Contact our expert team to find out how to secure Durabase’s steel conservatory base for your home.
Steel Extension Bases
Building a high quality conservatory can take months, which is not ideal for homeowners looking to relax and enjoy time at home without loud construction work or strangers moving around the property. Our steel frame system takes a huge chunk of time out of the project as it can be built in no time at all. Unlike concrete bases which take weeks and can’t be rushed for risk of long-term damage, Durabase provides a fast, effective solution.
Another massive advantage that steel frame systems offer is how much safer and tidier they are. With wet base systems, there’s always the risk of damaging the ecosystem of your home’s exterior or destroying beautiful elements of your garden with heavy machinery. In addition, the various parts and materials needed to build a concrete conservatory base are complex and difficult to measure, meaning a lot of excess waste can make a mess around your home. Durabase arrives in kit form with the exact number of parts, so you can rest assured that you won’t have anything left to clean up other than the boxes it arrived in!
Innovative Base Systems
Concrete conservatory bases require valuable components, complex machinery and a vast team of skilled installers and surveyors to ensure the project is completed safely. As a result, the costs can begin to pile up quickly. Invest in Durabase to build your new extension base for a fraction of the price of a traditional wet system. With household tools and some DIY experience, our intuitive steel frame system can even be built all by yourself. Whether you’re a homeowner or a trade professional, get in touch today!
Is your project or property restricted by a lack of space around your intended conservatory area? The heavy equipment and small vehicles that traditional concrete builds require can make certain homes unable to use wet system bases for their extensions, but Durabase can be easily carried through the interior of a house if need be. Our steel conservatory bases are practical, reliable and perfect for any type of building.
When we designed Durabase, our objective was to use advanced engineering techniques and premium grade materials to provide a practical, cost effective alternative to concrete base systems.
