Different Types of Orangeries

Anyone buying an orangery may find the sheer amount of choice a little crippling, and that’s before evening considering the array of roof variants. Our traditional roofing system is a good choice if you’re looking for a solid, dependable roof that is able to adapt to virtually any style of orangery. This form of roofing system has existed for decades, but our unique design has transported it into the 21st Century.

The cornice roof shares many similarities with classic roofing systems. Incorporating a cornice into the system immediately gives it a unique charm and warm feel. Particularly well suited to orangeries with added brickwork, a cornice roof is amongst out more popular options.

Dating back literally centuries, Lantern Roofs, or Atrium Roofs, maintain a constant presence on a vast array of orangeries. As you’d expect, present-day Lantern Day has evolved significantly from those of yesteryear, offering a more sophisticated design and hi-tech performance. The additional natural light provided by a Lantern Roof is enough to make anyone want to spend as many hours as they can inside their extension. Stick with tradition and request one for yours?

Orangeries of old were a bit of a nuisance, often too hot in summer and too cold in winter. Including a tiled roof in your new orangery is a sure-fire way to prevent this. The lightweight slates / tiles are superb when it comes to insulation, and they’re so lifelike that they could easily be mistaken for traditional slates and tiles, made to match the ones currently on your property.

We’ve a long history in producing high quality UPVC orangeries, it’s a material we trust to serve our customers well. A UPVC profile has amazingly accurate contours and dimensions, but that’s merely half of its total appeal. Beyond that is the enviable thermal insulating properties of UPVC, providing our customers with an extension that’s truly value for money.

The lure of UPVC can also be put down to its maintenance-free qualities. Nobody wants to be cleaning the outside of their conservatory on an overly regular basis, and, thankfully, you won’t have to! Our UPVC orangeries can even be specially moulded if you wish to have elaborate gable ends incorporated into the design.

Colour options for UPVC orangeries used to be a little limited, but not anymore. Our network of retailers can finish your orangery design in an array of subtle and striking colours, made perfectly to match your home. Along with a standard Black or White, we can also supply you with a UPVC orangery in Whitegrain or Chartwell Green, and that’s just the beginning!

We genuinely believe that the Envisage range is the finest imitation of a flush window on the market. When you request Envisage windows for your orangery, you will be safeguarded against draughts and won’t have to pay over the odds to keep the extension well heated. Envisage windows also have a multi-point locking mechanism affixed to them, and when they’re all locked, the orangery will be as safe as houses. If you want to customise our Envisage windows, feel free to do so. You should also accessorise the windows in accordance with your taste by selecting handles and stays that most appeal to your personal taste.

We very much doubt you will have expected there to be so many potential colours for our Envisage range. All sorts of shades, wood effects and textures are included, and they will add an abundance of visual appeal to the design. Several of the finishes will make your orangery really stand out and draw the plaudits.

Aluminium-crafted orangeries offer a sleek and modern alternative to their UPVC counterparts, allowing for additional glazing space. If you want the option of opening out the extension in summer, opt for aluminium bi-folding doors, exposing your home to the glory of the outside world.

Something that is undeniable with aluminium orangeries is the sheer quality of the finishes. Our 11-stage powder-coating process is what gives them this look, as we meticulously apply the colour to the frames. If you want your frame to imitate timber, we can do that too!
