Southampton Conservatory & Orangery Specialist
uPVC, Aluminium & Timber Conservatories Installed in Southampton SO14, SO15
Brackenwood’s Southampton conservatory collection presents a wide range of options, from traditional to contemporary and modern. Classic conservatory designs remain highly popular in Southampton, with styles such as Edwardian, Gable, Victorian, Lean To, Georgian, and T-Shaped able to enrich any property.
For those wanting the wow factor of a really solid structure with unparalleled insulation, our orangery collection offers unrivalled choice and style.
What's the difference between a conservatory & orangery?
Although both are excellent options as an extension for your Southampton property, there are some important differences.
A classic conservatory is predominantly constructed of glass panels within a uPVC, aluminium or timber frame. Orangeries have a more solid construction, with brick/solid frame, heavy duty foundations and roof lantern.

Orangeries are an embodiment of style and functionality. These structures are designed to bathe your Southampton living space in natural light while ensuring a sense of safety, warmth and cosiness.
An orangery has an underlying structure made with brick, stone or a solid equivalent, offering exceptional insulation and unrivalled comfort.
Foundations are more heavy duty, and doors are usually full-height wide-opening bi-folds. The roof will be higher than that of a conservatory, usually with roof lanterns matched to a solid ceiling.
Are you looking to replace your outdated polycarbonate or glass conservatory roof? Make your Southampton conservatory a space that you can enjoy all year round, with a conservatory solid roof replacement.
In the past, conservatory roofs were required to have a certain percentage of translucent area to be exempt from planning permission. However, this is no longer the case.
The most significant reason to replace a conservatory roof is its the ability to provide warmth during winter and a refreshing coolness in the summer. This smart upgrade can also lead to substantial energy bill savings.

What design should you choose for your Southampton conservatory?

Edwardian
An Edwardian conservatory is a style that reflects the architectural style of the Edwardian era (1901-1910). Known for their elegance and symmetry, they are designed with clean lines, to make them both a functional and aesthetically pleasing addition to your Southampton property.
Unlike more ornate conservatory designs, this style favours a simpler, more streamlined square or rectangular layout for maximum usable interior space.
Gable
A Gable conservatory features a pitched roof with a vertical front gable, for a grand, spacious feel reminiscent of traditional architecture. The triangular roof resembles the shape of a house, for a consistent appearance that fits in with your Southampton home.
The standout feature of a gable conservatory is its high-pitched roof. This creates a vaulted ceiling inside, with vertical gables allowing natural light to pour in from multiple angles.
Lean-To
A Lean-To conservatory is a simple, versatile design featuring a single-pitched roof ‘leaning’ against the side of your Southampton house. Lean-tos are popular on both traditional and modern homes around Southampton, due to their simple structure and affordability.
Lean-to conservatory roof angles can vary depending on the property. For Southampton homes with limited height under the eaves, a shallower pitch is often recommended.
T-Shaped
A T-shaped conservatory is a spacious and elegant design that combines multiple architectural elements, forming a ‘T’ layout when viewed from above. This style is perfect for larger properties around Southampton, as it offers extensive interior space and a striking visual appeal.
A T-shape conservatory is often used to create two distinct areas within the same structure, perfect to separate out a dining space and a seating area.
Victorian
A Victorian conservatory is distinctive due to the striking combination of curves and angles. This gives it a classic, elegant appearance, inspired by Victorian architecture. This typically includes a bay-fronted design that enhances the sense of space and light.
The bay front usually has three or five facets (sides), forming a semi-circular effect. This allows for panoramic views of your Southampton garden and the local landscape.
Materials Available for Conservatory Frames
Choose the right orangery or conservatory material
uPVC
For most homeowners, uPVC keeps costs low while performing reliably year after year. The weather-resistant plastic requires little maintenance - just an occasional clean with soap and water keeps uPVC looking fresh.
Versatile uPVC suits traditional or contemporary homes. Though slightly less durable than aluminium over decades, uPVC delivers hassle-free, cost-effective protection.
Aluminium
With the highest sustainability, security, style, and viewing potential, aluminium conservatory frames bring unique advantages. The durable, low-maintenance nature provides long-lasting, hassle-free performance.
For a more sustainable, ethical conservatory window with several custom styling possibilities, superior views, and military-level robustness, aluminium frames are the superior choice.
Wood
Wooden conservatory frames were the most common choice before the introduction of low-cost uPVC. Wood has the lowest heat conductivity of the common frame materials, whilst also being environmentally friendly.
Listed buildings often require a timber-look to any extensions, however modern aluminium and uPVC can perfectly mimic the appearance and options of wooden structures.
