Dry Base System

A Modern Alternative

The Portland dry base system eliminates most of the historical problems associated with traditional wet methods of construction that, largely, have not changed for some time.

The dry base is a high tech steel system (engineered to suit the rigorous specifications of UK Building Regulations) which is located upon several small concrete foundation pads. The system minimises the disruption around your property together with disposal of soil that is common with traditional base construction.

A fast, clean solution to the problems of traditional brickwork, eliminating the need for a bricklayer on site. The wall consists of a strong galvanised frame with specially profiled building board made to the exact size and shape of your conservatory, providing a base onto which genuine clay brick tiles are bonded to give a tough, lightweight brick wall system. The frames are pre-clad and pre-pointed just leaving the bridging tiles to be inserted over the frame joints. The hollow frames can conceal plumbing, electrical cables and insulation material. This system incorporated with our pre-fabricated base system is delivered to site ready made, allowing your conservatory to be installed in the minimum of time.
