The primary cause of rot in conservatory frames is exposure to moisture.

Inadequate Maintenance: Lack of routine maintenance can allow dirt, debris, and moisture to accumulate, promoting rot.

Insufficient Drainage: A conservatory must have correct drain systems in place. When rain gutters and downspouts are blocked, rainwater can gather around the frame.

Weathering: Over time, direct exposure to severe climate condition (rain, snow, humidity) can compromise wood-based frames.

Internal Condensation: Poor insulation might lead to condensation forming on the inside of the conservatory, which can ultimately seep into the frames.

Utilizing Low-Quality Materials: Frames made from unattended wood or low-grade materials are more vulnerable to rot.
