What are the top differences between a conservatory and an orangery?
The main difference between an orangery and a conservatory is the amount of glass coverage that is in the structure of each.
Generally speaking, a conservatory is a fully glazed structure that has over 75% of the roof glazed and over 50% of its walls glazed. Whereas an orangery has less than 75% of its roof glazed and less than 50% of its walls glazed.
When it comes to the different conservatory roofs and planning permission, you will be pleased to hear that in 2010 the Government changed their planning regulations to allow conservatories to have a solid roof without the need for planning permission. Before this, the Government stated that to be considered a conservatory, 75% of the roof needed to be translucent in order for the building to be constructed without planning permission.
What is an orangery?
Originally used to grow oranges and other fruit trees during the winter months, an orangery is a cross between a conservatory and an extension. Boasting a brick structure with large windows, orangeries are designed to feature a raised glass roof. It usually comprises a roof lantern, flooding the interior of your home with an abundance of natural light.
Depending on the size of your West Midland home, we have five uPVC orangery roof styles for you to choose from: Edwardian, 3 Facet Victorian, Gable Ended, P-Shaped Edwardian, and P-Shaped Victorian.
Each one boasting multi-point locking systems and high-quality double-glazed units as standard, giving you peace of mind that you will never have to worry about your orangery being too hot during the summer months, or too cold during the winter months. Get a quote from us today!
If you are stuck on where to stand, then worry not – our simple orangery buying guide and product brochure will help you.
What is a conservatory?
Conservatories from Leamore Windows are property extensions with glass walls and a pitched glazed roof. Originally used to describe a non-glazed structure used for storing food, nowadays conservatories are a great way to welcome more natural light and air to flow through your home, whilst considerably increasing your living space.
We have five conservatory styles available for you to choose from: the period-inspired Victorian conservatory, the contemporary Lean-To conservatory, the classic Edwardian conservatory, the space-maximising Gable-End conservatory, and the custom-built Bespoke conservatory.
All of which feature multi-point locking systems for enhanced security and are available in a wide range of classic and contemporary finishes, from Chartwell Green to Anthracite Grey (RAL 7016). View our installation gallery for colour inspiration.
Whatever house type you have in Walsall or the surrounding areas we serve – from terraced houses to bungalows – we can custom-build your conservatory to suit. Get a quote from us today!
Can I replace my conservatory roof with a tiled roof?
If you are an existing conservatory owner, you could opt to upgrade your conservatory with a tough tiled roof. Merging perfectly with the tiles of your house and windows, a tiled roof revitalises perhaps tired conservatories whilst giving them the “wow-factor” appeal. Depending on the right style, construction, and size of the conservatory it will also have a big impact on your home’s potential value too.
