If you’re considering adding a conservatory to your home or business, it’s important to choose a team that offers a comprehensive understanding of what you are looking for. Tanglewood’s signature service is one such option. From design to installation, our collaborative process is different from other conservatory builders; designed to ensure that your custom conservatory is built to your specifications and installed to your complete satisfaction.
What does Tanglewood’s signature service include?
- Design — The design of a conservatory is highly personal, so we approach each project individually. We listen. We talk. We study the architecture of your home and we learn about you. We’ll ask many questions, such as; What do you like about your home? What would you change? What appeals to you about the idea of a conservatory? How will your new conservatory be used? The answers to these simple questions become the foundation for the design of your new conservatory.
- Engineering — Once consensus on the final design and budget is reached, we begin work on the shop drawings or production “blueprints”. These are the detailed drawings our team uses to build your conservatory. Your general contractor will also use our shop drawings to prepare the building foundations and other site work so that we can properly install the conservatory when it arrives at your home. Perhaps most exciting, however, the shop drawings allow you to see your conservatory design take shape—up close. In them, you will see all the architectural features and intricate details of your dream room—from French doors to finials—and they’ll help you finalize your selections. At this point, we review your choices of items, such as stained or beveled art glass, shading systems, window and door hardware, specialty finishes, and high-performance glass.
- In Our Shop — Once the shop drawings are complete and approved, Tanglewood’s production team begins to build. We handcraft and assemble the parts and pieces that will become your conservatory. Our craft team has decades of experience building custom conservatories out of wood, steel, and glass. As the work in our shop proceeds, Tanglewood team members will often visit your home to ensure that the building foundation and other site conditions have been properly prepared and to make any final adjustments.
- Installation — Tanglewood’s production teams build each conservatory in our workshop to ensure that it will fit perfectly when constructed at your home. Once work is finished, we disassemble and transport it to your home. Carefully packed and wrapped to avoid damage, your conservatory travels nonstop under lock and key. Tanglewood maintains its own teams of skilled craftspeople who travel across the U.S. and internationally to install and service our conservatories. Often, artisans from our production facility join the installation team. Our passion for the beautiful rooms we create and the relationships we build will be evident in your finished conservatory for years to come.
Our commitment to quality and attention to detail ensures that your conservatory is built to last and installed to your complete satisfaction. Do you have any additional questions about the process? Give us a call at 410 479 4700 or complete our contact form to talk with a member of our team!
