Make an EnquiryThe main difference between an orangery and a conservatory Slough 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.
