Conservatory Hybrids
SI5002: Hybrid Conservatories by Solar Innovations, Inc.
 Conservatory Hybrid Exterior |
 Conservatory Hybrid Interior |
A conservatory is not limited to aluminum framework; commonly conservatories use traditional framing for the structure’s walls, roof, and windows as well. This method blends conventional construction with classic conservatory roof architecture to create a highly functional living area. The traditional construction consist of numerous materials including cement, vinyl siding, stucco, or wood.
It is easy to match trims and grid styles on the standard wood construction using Solar Innovations, Inc.’s aluminum system. The interior of the room may feature crown molding at the ceiling line, which is available in aluminum, along with other decorative trims and moldings. Glass and aluminum units may be designed as the room’s focal points and be adorned with ogee trim on the rafters and window style grids. Casement, awning, tilt turn, and fixed windows are all easily integrated. The conservatory roof can be turned into a glass skylight; operable portions may be included for fresh air and ventilation. A lantern is a common skylight style for traditional projects. Ridge cresting and finials can be incorporated into the exterior design, while copper cladding or wood veneer can adorn the interior.

The skylights, windows, and doors will be constructed out of durable aluminum, which will not rot, warp, rust, or require constant finish maintenance. All products produced by Solar Innovations, Inc. are thermally enhanced which improves energy efficiency. Seven standard finish options available, two anodized choices, and for an additional charge custom colors can be attained. Two tone designs are also possible with Solar Innovations, Inc.; this option allows one color to be featured on the conservatory’s interior and a different color to be featured on the exterior.
There are unlimited options for the glazing available. Laminated glass is always used on glazed roofs to reduce breakage upon impact and to keep the glass in place if a break should occur. The walls and windows will use tempered glass which also has additional strength to reduce the effects of impact. LoE tinted glass is used in the majority of conservatories. This glass insulates the room better, providing warmer temperatures in the winter and cooler

emperatures in the summer. The LoE tint also reduces the fading process in fabrics, furnishings, and flooring. Decorative glass can be utilized in windows and transoms; intricate grid patterns can be applied to
create a custom appearance. Solar Innovations, Inc. offers LoE glass choices that are great for insulation and other ones that reduce glare from the sun. An electro chromic glass is another option which tints the glass from light to dark to reduce glares while retaining the outside view.
Most hybrid conservatories function as an extension of living space, an artist’s studio, an office, or a game room. Plants can be grown in the hybrid conservatory and dinner parties can be hosted. Solar can work with you to retrofit an existing room with traditional framing or assist you in designing a brand new room to match your property’s style.
