	In conservatories and porches, dwarf walls usually have glazing above. This is beneficial in terms of reducing the amount of glass required, not only in terms of cost but also in terms of cleaning and maintenance. They also assist in managing internal thermal comfort, as spaces with full-height glass can become hot in sunny weather and cold at night and in the winter. The wall construction also protects the glazing from damage at low level.		In conservatories and porches, dwarf walls usually have glazing above.

A dwarf wall is the term used to refer to a low wall that is often used as a garden wall, fence or as the base of a conservatory or porch structure. Generally, it can be applied to any wall that is less than one-storey in height, but typically they are less than a metre tall.

A dwarf wall starts from the base, with bricks laid on top of cement and left to dry. For more information, see How to lay bricks.

Dwarf walls are very common as part of the construction of conservatories, upon which the glazing rests. They are beneficial in terms of reducing the amount of glass required, not only in terms of cost but also in terms of cleaning and maintenance time. They also assist in managing the internal thermal comfort, since full-glass conservatories can become hot like a greenhouse in warm weather. Having a dwarf wall of bricks will help keep the conservatory cooler.
