Converting a Conservatory to an Orangery
Published: 02/12/2012
When conservatories burst back onto the scene in the eighties as the nations favourite way to extend a property people were happy to have wonderful views even if the conservatory didn’t make an ideal room in the depths of a cold winter .
Thanks to the modern trend for glazed extensions or Orangeries as they are generally called people now realise that a glazed lantern positioned in a highly insulated high spec membrane roof gives them the ideal combination .
The modern Orangery provides the surrounding views normally associated with a conservatory with a feature glazed lantern giving wonderful views of the sky and the insulation values of a conventional extension .
People with conservatories who yearn to own an Orangery but not at the cost of demolishing their existing conservatory can now find a solution at Kent Conservatory Company .
By clever design and the use of independent steel support members Kent Conservatory Company can normally replace your conservatory roof with an Orangery roof and lantern without change to the existing conservatory base hence achieving good cost savings .
The Kent Conservatory Company solution allows the lantern size to be varied according to the customers wishes which effectively means the customer decides on the proportion of glass to solid roof and even the position of the lantern if they wish . Multiple lanterns are also an option .
This is a major improvement over more common schemes which are based on a full glazed roof with “add on “ perimeter boxing to give the appearance of an Orangery .
Another major advantage of the Kent Conservatory Company conversion system is that it can be used with uPVC , Hardwood or Aluminium vertical frames and doors .
The Kent Conservatory Company conversion can be approved under Building Regulations and due to its build quality will add more value to your property than a conservatory or a conservatory modified by the addition of perimeter boxing to give the appearance of an Orangery .
The conversion system can also be used to convert conservatory roofs to conventional tiled roofs .
