Conservatories from companies such as
Richmond Oak
only use seasoned oak. These are designed for the long term.
Seasoned oak is arguably the most durable material in
hardwood conservatory production and can last for centuries.
The timber is air dried in the natural elements to the correct
moisture content. It is then laminated for extra stability.
Mortise and tendon joints are used for the window frames
and doors, whereas roof rafters are bird mouthed over the
outer pan rail. Where necessary, finger jointing is undertaken
for longer elements. All frames are further reinforced with
joining beads
to ensure that they are stable and level. |
