Conservatories and pergolas in kit form: choose kit or made-to-measure models

Improving the quality of your indoor life involves a number of specific improvements. Adding a pergola for your terrace and garden, installing a conservatory as an enlargement to your home... What are the differences and special features of each type of installation?

Whether it's a conservatory or a pergola in kit form, the whole package consists of the structural parts, the glazing and the fixing materials. You don't need to call in a professional to assemble it, but it does involve a considerable personal investment.

Given the precision and meticulousness involved in assembly, kit pergolas and conservatories require a high level of DIY skills. Assemble the parts incorrectly and your satisfaction is at risk. If in doubt, don't hesitate to ask an Akena professional.

Meeting your needs

A made-to-measure model gives you a more appropriate choice in terms of structure, surface area and aesthetics. You can be sure that your extension or conversion will blend in perfectly with your surroundings, while adding value.

You'll have a reception and rest area that's as functional as it is convivial. The benefits of specific additions are not negligible in meeting your expectations. Akena's conservatory selection criteria ensure that you have a unique model that meets your precise needs.

Compose your project

The type of fronts and glazing, the composition of the roof, the number of openings... These are all structural elements that can be modified to suit a given surface area and your enlargement project. You no longer have to make concessions between insulation and security. Partial blackout of the roof is useful for better control of light levels and indoor temperature. Variable-tint glazing is also a good alternative for enjoying an equally comfortable environment. As for the openings, you may prefer a sliding bay window or hinged doors. These can be fitted with roller shutters. These help to keep your personal space private and cool, while also providing extra protection against any intruders.

Customise as you wish

By opting for a made-to-measure installation, you can complete the decoration with integrated lighting such as LEDs, spotlights and fascias. You can also change the front and wall cladding.

For a conservatory, you can add a modern or traditional cornice. Shades can be fully customised, with a wide range of colours to choose from.
