While many people are aware of how incredible conservatories can be for extending a property, they were hardly the only innovation that came from Holland and Renaissance Italy in the mid 17th century.
Large plate glass windows allowed for the household extensions that made use of this natural light exposure, and as such, they came to exemplify grandiosity in design - often utilised for the preservation and display of indoor exotic plants.
Nowadays, conservatories and orangeries can seem identical, but there are differences. While conservatories have short low-profile brick walls and large glass panels that may culminate in an open top room, orangeries are known for their excellent sturdy construction, and their brickwork that works up to the roof, providing more structural stability and more purposeful designs.
One of the amazing benefits of a well-designed Orangery is that they can be constructed using a range of different additions, customised for each household.
They are not only thermally efficient, but can be adorned with tiled or solid flat roofing designs, allowing for a conscious theming alongside the rest of your household. As such, they can be much more visually appealing than a standard conservatory depending on your household.
However, excellent pane glass roofing systems can also provide a more traditional open look, allowing for the amazing intake of natural light and a comfortable place to relax in the evening.
