When a conservatory is fastened to the wall of your home the weatherseal is formed using lead flashing trim. This lead flashing detail is cemented into the brickwork, and on all other roof systems is then just laid on top of the conservatory roof. After time this can lead to a stain on the conservatory roof where the water has run off the lead and onto the polycarbonate or PVC-U cappings. Every part of a Synseal Conservatory has been considered, even down to the detail of where to put the lead flashing. The Synseal wall rafter has been designed with a soak tray to tuck the lead seal into. Not only does this protect from the risk of future stains but also gives a perfectly straight lead trim line.

Because Synseal designed a conservatory and not just a roof, we were able to develop how the roof fixes to the building. Conventional roof and window systems are simply screwed together, by drilling holes through the top of the windows! Our unique, patented, turnbuckle mechanism means the windows and roof are designed to fit together perfectly, without creating potential leak points. The turnbuckle system is also quicker to install, it simply clicks into place for a perfect fit.

Neater finish

To make your Complete Conservatory watertight a gasket seal is used between the glass and the frames of the windows and the roof. But whether you want a white conservatory or one of the many woodgrain options available, you won’t want to spoil the appearance by thick black gasket lines splaying out around the edge of every window or roof section. Synseal has the option of specially engineered internal gaskets designed to seal under the frame. This reduces the visible part of the gasket so you get a neater finish around the glass both inside and outside of your Synseal Complete Conservatory.

Safe and secure

Glass in windows can be fitted from the inside or the outside. For added security it’s better to have internally glazed windows so the bead holding the glass in place is on the inside. The only way to remove the glass from an internally glazed window is from the inside. Externally glazed windows have the bead on the outside and a burglar could remove the bead and then glazed unit from the outside. All Synseal windows are designed to be internally glazed giving you extra security.

With a Synseal Complete Conservatory the roof is internally fixed. The glazing bar has a unique bolt which enables the rafters to be securely bolted from inside the conservatory. Conventional ‘roof-only’ products have to be fixed through the drainage channels of the glazing bar. With a Synseal conservatory there is no need to drill through these important drainage channels. Not only are you assured of added security, but extra weatherproofing too!

Aluminium options

A Synseal Complete Conservatory is available in a variety of woodgrain effect finishes as well as white. If you choose one of the woodgrain finishes your conservatory roof will have aluminium top caps not PVC-U. Because darker colours absorb more heat, the woodgrain effect finishes are applied to aluminium rather than PVC-U so they can withstand higher temperatures and remain perfect for years to come. Aluminium comes as standard for woodgrain effect top caps, but we also offer a high gloss powder coated aluminium top cap in white as an option.
