Barnack Conservatory
1 / 3
This conservatory has a roof formed with a Vitral patent glazing system which has been fitted over the top of the oak rafters. Vitral is one among several high performance yet affordable glazing systems on the market. Two of the lights are openers and hinge from the top of the panel. Note the use of Lindab galvanised steel guttering, so much nicer than plastic! (Photography: Duncan McNichol)
The frame has been sand blasted which gives an appealing pale straw colour, and also softens the sawn surfaces of the timber by picking out the softer spring growth, giving a slight ‘driftwood’ effect. (Photography: Duncan McNichol)
A conservatory does much to grace any home, as seen here in this long view through from the kitchen. Well designed they can make an affordable and beautiful addition to the home. (Photography: Duncan McNichol)
“"Just to say that it looks fabulous, and all who survey it are wonder-struck. Best wishes and many thanks to you all."
Simon, National Trust
“"Thank you for the frame that you have just finished at Rogate. It was a miserable wet day, yesterday and John and team carried on regardless. We are delighted with the overall look and also the mouldings to the members. As usual, the frame was millimetre accurate and will be easy to take forward to complete the building."
Bob, Trembath Associates
“"We have constructed several buildings using Oak frames designed, manufactured and erected by the Green Oak Carpentry Company. We are pleased to confirm that their work is accurate, well detailed and delivered on time. They are knowledgeable and we find working with them easy and straight forward. We therefore have no hesitation in recommending them."
Robert, Trembath Associates
“"Just a quick note to say thank you for sending such a great team to do the work. As well as clearly being very hardworking and hugely skilled, Mick, Andy, Clark and Dave were all exceptionally pleasant, considerate and cheerful guys to have around, and as such a huge credit to Green Oak."
Julia, Crabfields Farm
“"Everyone is very impressed with the finished result and I thought I would just take the opportunity of belatedly giving my thanks to you and your team for a job very well done. I have submitted the bridge for a Civic Society award for next year and have every expectation of its success."
