Wood Conservatory

A wood conservatory will look natural from inside your home and also from the garden & a wood conservatory can be painted to match exterior window frames and doors. You should choose a wood from stainable sources, which can include oak as well as pine, and ask for advice on the choice of wood most suitable for your design and the internal and external finish you require. Oak will have had to have been naturally seasoned and kiln-dried before use while a timber such as pine, will have had to have been treated to ensure that it will not rot when exposed to the elements. You will need to paint or seal a wooden conservatory made from pine, while if you choose oak, you can paint the exterior or leave it to weather naturally and treat the interior so that it has a gorgeous furniture finish.
