15. On this installation cavity trays are being installed due to the porosity of the house wall and the exposed conditions which the conservatory faces. This is an option most people do not go for - but one we highly recommend - especially in exposed situations.		16. A close-up of a cavity tray.

19. The PVCu external cill is fitted to the dwarf wall and erection of the side frames begins.		20. On completion of the frames the structural aluminium eaves beam is fitted to the head of the frames. Please note this example is based on the ULTRAFRAME roofing system.
