Orangeries are fast becoming one of the most in-demand extension options here in Buckinghamshire. Previously much less sort-after than a conservatory, orangeries are now popular in their own right. They take many of best elements of a traditional house extension and blend them with a conservatory, leaving homeowners with the perfect best of both worlds.
With this, they still feel light and airy during summer thanks to glazed roof systems. However, these are instead blended with larger areas of brickwork, helping it feel like a true extension of your home during winter. This ‘room-like’ feel enables an orangery to be used for a multitude of purposes, whether you’re hoping to use it as a social space, a dining area or even a kitchen or office.
When you choose Castle Glass, we’ll build you a bespoke orangery that will be tailored to your exact specifications. The brickwork can be designed to match your home’s existing architecture exactly, allowing for a unified, aesthetically pleasing finish.
What’s more, there are a range of customisation options available with our orangeries. This includes the option of wide-spanning bifold or patio doors, as well as visual enhancements such as cornices and finials. You’ll also have a choice between high performance roof systems.
By replacing many of the glass panels with extra brickwork, orangeries deliver an enhanced standard of heat retention. They do a much better job of remaining at the optimal temperature, allowing you to get year round usage of your new extension.
What’s more, the insulating measures ensure that less energy is needed to warm the orangery through. This means that you can only enjoy your new extension in the evening and during the winter months, but it is also won’t burn a hole in your pocket while you do so.
Older extensions would often require more upkeep than they were worth. Our orangeries are the polar opposite of that, instead needing very little maintenance to look their best. This is thanks to the blend of high quality brickwork, uPVC and our in-house made double glazing.
Of course, there is still some work required your end to ensure your orangery performs for longer. However, keeping the guttering clean, wiping down the windows, and keeping any moving components free of excess dust is all that’s essential to keep it performing its best.
The addition of extra brick means that orangeries are incredibly robust. They are designed to withstand all weather conditions, including extreme wind and rain. They are structurally sound enough to be fitted with wide-spanning external doors, without compromising the rigidity.
What’s more, each of our orangeries are made from high grade materials and are fitted with modern, multipoint locking systems. This makes it incredibly difficult for unwanted intruders to damage your extension and minimises the possibility of a break-in. You have peace of mind.
Installing an orangery is a fantastic way of installing a light and airy extension that still you can still feel comfortable and detached in. Fitting extra brickwork instead of some of the glazing allows orangeries to offer better privacy levels than a traditional conservatory.
If you live in a property that’s garden backs onto another, you may be concerned about onlooking neighbours when considering an extension installation. You won’t have any privacy concerns with an orangery, especially if you have younger children.
Orangeries are an incredibly desirable commodity nowadays. With this, having one fitted to your Buckinghamshire home is a sure-fire way of enhancing kerb appeal. This is where potential buyers will be attracted to your house and could pay more than market value.
Installing an orangery could prove to be a smart investment, even if you aren’t planning on moving to a new house anytime soon. You could potentially even see a return on investment, giving you all the more reason to take the plunge on a new extension.
Orangeries are often described as a variant of a conservatory, yes. However, they are still an extension within their own right.
Orangeries take around a month to be installed, give or take. However, this varies depending on the size and the style of the extension.
As standard, orangeries are considered a ‘permitted development’ meaning they normally pass planning permissions requirements. However, checking is never discouraged.
Our orangeries are available with a traditional glazed roof, or with one of our Atlas or Roofmaker lantern roofs instead.
Orangeries vary in prices depending on size and style. As a result, it’s better to price one up using our quoting engine to decide whether or not they’re within your budget.
