Are modern conservatories energy efficient and secure?

Whatever you decide, our naturally insulating uPVC frames and high-quality glazing ensure that your new modern conservatory will have no problem staying warm. We also provide the option of low-e glass, which works to reflect heat away from the conservatory, so they are able to stay cool during soaring temperatures.

Any doors and windows on your uPVC conservatory will be equipped with a range of leading security hardware, so your new space won’t be a security risk either. With security and comfort guaranteed, you can confidently use your new conservatory in whatever you please, whether that’s as a kitchen, dining room or something else entirely.

What is the difference between an orangery and a conservatory?

The main difference between an orangery and a conservatory Hampshire is the amount of glazing used within the structure. Traditionally conservatories are made up of a glass roof, a glazed structure, and a brick dwarf wall. On the other hand, orangeries traditionally have a flat roof with a central glass lantern, a brick structure, and large, glazed windows. However, the difference between the two glazed extensions has blurred over the last few years due to the flexibility homeowners have when it comes to designing them. With tiled conservatory roofs, fully glazed structures, and roof lanterns surging in popularity, homeowners are mix and matching features from both styles of glazed extensions, to create something completely unique to them.
