What's the difference between a conservatory & orangery?
Conservatories are built with materials such as uPVC, aluminium, and timber. They are often known as glass structures attached to the property and offer slim frames for unobstructed views. Additionally, conservatories can be built with different home improvement options, including French doors, window options, and roofing systems. In terms of orangeries, these involve more building work and are longer to install, but offer further durability and energy efficiency.

Edwardian
Edwardian conservatories are a popular choice for homeowners across Reading who want to combine elegant design with a practical living space. Known for their clean lines and balanced proportions, these conservatories offer a timeless aesthetic that enhances both period homes and modern properties.
With their square or rectangular shape, Edwardian conservatories maximise the available floor space, making them perfect for dining areas, lounges, home offices, or playrooms. You can also personalise your design with a range of double-glazed windows and doors, whether you prefer traditional French doors or space-saving bifold doors. Whatever your style, an Edwardian conservatory brings light, space, and year-round comfort to your Reading home.
Gable
A Gable conservatory is the perfect way to create a striking architectural feature for your Reading property. Recognised for its tall, pitched roof and prominent front gable, this design delivers a sense of luxury and floods your home with natural light.
The high triangular roofline creates an airy, open feel that’s ideal for family rooms, dining areas, or stylish garden rooms. Large glass panels in the gable end let sunlight pour in from multiple directions, making the space bright and inviting throughout the year. Customise your Gable conservatory with uPVC, aluminium, or timber frames and choose from a variety of finishes, glazing, and roofing options for a bespoke design tailored to your home.
Lean-To
A Lean-To conservatory offers Reading homeowners a sleek, modern solution for extending their living space without compromising on style. Designed with a sloping roof that fits neatly against your property, this option is especially suited to homes with limited garden space or lower rooflines, such as bungalows and terraced houses.
This simple yet effective design provides a cost-efficient way to add an extra room filled with natural light. Whether used as a kitchen extension, utility space, or cosy sunroom, a Lean-To conservatory is easy to adapt with features like bifold doors, sliding patio doors, or classic French doors. It’s the perfect year-round living area for modern lifestyles.
T-Shaped
For homeowners in Reading with larger properties, a T-shaped conservatory offers both impressive aesthetics and flexible living. The distinctive T-layout combines traditional styles like Victorian, Edwardian, or Gable elements to create an expansive space that can be split into different areas.
This design is ideal for creating multi-functional spaces, such as a family lounge on one side and a dining area or home office on the other. The central projection acts as a grand focal point, with wide glazing that fills the interior with sunlight and connects seamlessly to your garden. Tailor your T-shaped conservatory with your choice of roof, frame material, and glazing to suit your style and needs.
Victorian
Victorian conservatories bring timeless elegance to homes throughout Reading, making them a favourite for those looking to add character and charm. With their ornate detailing, pitched roof, and curved bay front, they’re perfect for enjoying panoramic garden views and adding a classic touch to your property.
This style works beautifully on period properties and also lends a sense of tradition to modern builds. Available in three or five-facet designs, a Victorian conservatory provides a light-filled, versatile space for relaxing, entertaining, or simply enjoying your surroundings all year round.

uPVC
For homeowners in Reading, uPVC conservatory frames are a top choice for creating a stylish, practical, and energy-efficient extension. This modern material strikes the perfect balance between cost-effectiveness and long-lasting performance, making it ideal for properties of all ages and styles.
uPVC is built to withstand the UK’s changing weather conditions without cracking, warping, or fading. Unlike traditional timber, it won’t require sanding, painting, or regular upkeep - just a quick wipe with soapy water keeps it looking pristine year after year.
With an extensive range of colours, finishes, and designs available, uPVC frames can be customised to complement your Reading home’s character. Choose from classic wood-effect finishes for a timeless look or sleek, contemporary tones for a more modern aesthetic. If you’re looking for a low-maintenance, secure, and thermally efficient conservatory solution in Reading, uPVC remains one of the most popular and versatile options for homeowners wanting to combine style and value.

Aluminium
Aluminium frames are the perfect choice for Reading homeowners seeking a sleek, contemporary conservatory. Their slim yet robust design supports large glass panels, flooding your space with natural light and offering uninterrupted views of your garden.
Built for longevity, aluminium won’t rust, warp, or fade, making it a low-maintenance option that looks great for years. It’s also fully recyclable, ideal for eco-conscious households.
With a wide selection of colours and finishes, aluminium frames can be tailored to match any property style, whether modern or traditional. Combining strength, thermal performance, and security, they’re a smart investment for a stylish and durable extension.

Wood
Wood remains a classic choice for conservatories in Reading, bringing a sense of heritage. Its natural insulating qualities help create a comfortable environment year-round, keeping your space cosy in the colder months and cool during summer.
For properties in Reading’s conservation areas or listed buildings, timber frames are often the preferred - or required- option to preserve architectural authenticity and comply with local planning regulations. The timeless appeal of real wood makes it perfect for enhancing period homes while adding charm to newer builds.
For those who love the traditional look but want a lower-maintenance option, there are now advanced uPVC and aluminium alternatives with convincing woodgrain finishes. These deliver the aesthetic of timber alongside superior durability and minimal upkeep, offering the best of both worlds.
