Let’s talk through the different types of conservatories available in more detail.
Victorian conservatories are the most popular style of conservatory. Distinguished by their pitched roof, three or five facets, and curved appearance, Victorian conservatories provide maximum space. This conservatory style is classic and effective, suiting Victorian properties and beyond with its comforting and elegant feel.
Similar to Victorian conservatories, an Edwardian conservatory has a rectangular floor plan that maximises internal space. Edwardian conservatories are an ideal style if you want a classic style of conservatory with a timeless appearance. With its four-sided pitched roof and bright open space, it provides the perfect space to relax and enjoy a bright open space.
Similar to Edwardian or Victorian conservatories, orangeries have a rectangular floor plan to maximise internal space. Orangeries have a traditional elegance that sparks from their conception when they were used amongst the aristocracy to grow exotic fruits at their stately homes. They typically have solid brick pillars and large glazed windows, creating a great open bright space.
Recognised by its rectangular floor plan and triangular front, Gable conservatories have front windows that extend to meet the roof which helps to maximise the feeling of light and space, creating an incredibly stylish space.
Inspired by the Italian renaissance period and combined with British innovation, a Loggia is an ideal addition to any home. Featuring a roofed gallery or recessed room open to the air on one side and supported by ornate columns, the Loggia conservatory takes inspiration from this and adapts it to sync perfectly with British architecture. This allows the Loggia design to suit old and new properties alike – redefining the conservatory.
Lean-to conservatories are rectangular with a roof that leans onto the main property and is truly becomes like an extension of your home. Uncomplicated and suitable for a wide range of house styles, it is quick and easy to install as well as being a practical and less expensive solution.
A way of creating a conservatory that is truly bespoke to you and your home. Combination conservatories usually have a Victorian, Edwardian or Gable design which is linked in harmony with a lean-to style allowing you to create a conservatory exactly to your tastes.
T-Shaped conservatories are a hybrid glazed extension design. Combining a central projection that opens out into the garden, it can be Victorian, Edwardian or Gable styled. Providing a symmetrical feel, T-Shaped conservatories are perfect for larger properties that need extra space and light.
The ideal accompaniment to large detached properties. P-Shaped conservatories are another hybrid conservatory design, combining the lengthy lean-to style and a 3 or 5 faceted Victorian section.
L-Shaped conservatories are a variation of the P-Shaped style, uniting lean-to and Edwardian conservatory styles as one to create a symmetrical hybrid conservatory design.
Available with several square or rectangular sizes to suit your specific project, our modern flat roof extensions deliver attractive uninterrupted sightlines combined with modern flat skylights or an elegantly styled pitched lantern roof perfect for more traditionally styled South East homes. Flat roof conservatories are the ideal choice for reducing the sun’s glare and controlling the temperature whilst still flooding the space with natural light. Custom design options include an extended internal plastered soffit system, a modern overhang on the roof to shelter the doors, and level external flooring options to seamlessly connect with outside spaces.
