Victorian Cut Bricks:

 

There are several conservatory designs that are constructed without 90 degree corners, Victorians (3 and 5section), Sun Lounges with facets, “P” Shapes and many bespoke designs.


Modern conservatory roof and window systems can easily accommodate the various angles within a conservatory base:
The roof systems have specially designed roof rafters and eaves beam connectors. The gutter systems have specially made angled gutter connectors. The window systems have variable angled bay assembly kits.


But what about the brickwork???
We have cut and bonded bricks manufactured for the external angles of each conservatory. The bricks are cut to the relevant size and then bonded with a poxi-resin. Obviously we use the same brick type as the external face of the conservatory wall. If there is a damp course in a different finish we have cut and bonded bricks made to match.


We have these bricks specially made for each conservatory with any type of facet, including Victorian (3 & 5 facet), hipped sun lounges, P-shapes and bespoke designs.
An alternative feature is to use cut and bonded blue bricks on the corner facets in contrast to the external face brick of the conservatory.


The alternative way of creating these angles is to simply cross over the bricks where the different elevations meet. This does actually create quite a nice feature. It comes down to personal taste but as standard we always use cut and bonded bricks.
