Conservatory or orangery? A guide for homeowners in Kent
Imagine sitting in a bright, cosy space, enjoying your morning coffee and the view of your garden. This could be your reality with a new home extension. But should you choose a conservatory or an orangery? Let’s explore the benefits of each to help you decide.
Understanding orangeries
Orangeries are the perfect middle ground between conservatories and traditional house extensions. With more brickwork than a conservatory, they provide enhanced privacy and a solid structure while still allowing plenty of natural light. This makes them versatile spaces suitable for a variety of uses, from a cosy lounge to an elegant dining area or even a spacious kitchen.
One of the standout features of orangeries is their thermal efficiency. Our energy-efficient designs ensure that your orangery remains warm in the winter and cool in the summer. With modern advancements, including Ultraframe’s roof lanterns, you can enjoy a flood of natural light while maintaining excellent insulation. The flexibility in design means you can opt for sliding or bifold doors in almost any colour, making your orangery a perfect fit for your home’s aesthetic.
At Exclusive Glazing, we build bespoke orangeries tailored to the unique needs of homeowners in Maidstone, Ashford, Kings Hill, Sevenoaks, and beyond. Our commitment to quality installations ensures that each project is completed with meticulous care, enhancing your living space and adding value to your property.
Exploring conservatories
Conservatories, on the other hand, are designed to bring maximum light into your home. With options like Victorian or Edwardian styles, conservatories can provide a bright and airy extension that feels connected to your garden. The lean-to style is ideal for smaller properties, while larger homes might benefit from the grandeur of a gable-end conservatory.
Modern conservatories from Exclusive Glazing are thermally efficient and weatherproof, ensuring year-round usability. We use high-quality materials and offer various roof options, including glass, solid, and tiled roofs from Ultraframe, to match your style and functional needs. These conservatories are not only beautiful but also practical, offering excellent soundproofing and a significant boost to your home’s kerb appeal.
Making the choice: Orangery or conservatory?
When deciding between a conservatory and an orangery, consider how you plan to use the space and the architectural style of your home. Orangeries offer a more private and versatile space with a seamless blend of brickwork and glass, making them suitable for various uses. Conservatories provide a more traditional extension filled with light, ideal for creating a sunlit living area or a garden room.
Exclusive Glazing can help you explore both options, providing expert advice and bespoke designs tailored to your needs. Our extensive experience and partnerships with leading manufacturers ensure that you receive the highest quality products and installations, whether you choose an orangery or a conservatory.
