What's the difference between a conservatory & orangery?
Although both are excellent options for extending your 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.

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 functional and aesthetically pleasing.
Unlike more ornate Victorian 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.
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 house. Lean-tos are popular on both traditional and modern homes, due to their simple structure and affordability.
Lean-to conservatory roof angles can vary depending on the property. For homes with limited height under the eaves, a shallower pitch is used.
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, 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, such as 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 the garden.

uPVC
For many homeowners in Hampshire, Berkshire, Surrey, Dorset & West Sussex, uPVC windows are a popular choice thanks to their affordability and reliable performance. This weather-resistant material is designed to withstand the elements with minimal upkeep – a quick wipe down with soapy water is all it takes to keep it looking its best.
uPVC is highly versatile, complementing both modern and traditional properties. While it may not have the same long-term durability as aluminium, it offers an excellent balance of value and functionality. For a cost-effective, low-maintenance solution that enhances your home’s energy efficiency and security, uPVC remains a smart option.

Aluminium
Combining strength, style, and sustainability, aluminium frames are an excellent choice for homeowners in Hampshire, Berkshire, Surrey, Dorset & West Sussex seeking an upgrade. Their slim yet strong frames allow for larger panes of glass, maximising natural light and creating uninterrupted views of your surroundings.
Aluminium is durable and resistant to warping, meaning these frames deliver exceptional performance with minimal maintenance. As a fully recyclable material, it is a sustainable material. With customisation options – from colours and finishes to hardware styles – aluminium frames offer a sleek, contemporary aesthetic alongside outstanding security and energy efficiency.

Wood
wood was originally the traditional choice for homes across Hampshire, Berkshire, Surrey, Dorset & West Sussex. Wood is a natural insulator, offering excellent thermal performance thanks to its low heat conductivity. It’s also a renewable material – ideal for homeowners seeking a sustainable option.
In conservation areas or listed properties around Hampshire, Berkshire, Surrey, Dorset & West Sussex, timber windows and frames are often a requirement to maintain heritage aesthetics. That said, modern uPVC and aluminium alternatives can now replicate the classic timber appearance with advanced finishes and detailing, providing a traditional look with modern benefits like reduced maintenance and improved durability.
