Really spend some time thinking about the intended use and the Ambience you want to create in your new Orangery.

The size ( width ) of your Light Pelmet can make a difference to the look and feel of your Orangery. The down-lighters, How Many? Where ? On Dimmer switches ?

Natural Light is very important. Bear in mind that decisions on roofing in particular will effect the natural light in any room the conservatory is attached to.

Is heat retention important to you ? All new floors and walls will have insulation. However the type of glass in the windows and roof can make a considerable difference to your ongoing comfort. 

Orangeries naturally create a Beautiful setting, but you will need to still pay attention to options for creating the right atmosphere to meet all your requirements.

The more time you think about these things, the better the end result and your enjoyment of the new addition to your home will be and cant be over stressed.

Our experienced consultants will take you through all of these and more to ensure you get the perfect end result.

Practicality is often overlooked. Again in line of considering what you want to use it for, really think about the layout of both intended furniture placement and access into / out of the house and outside. This is very important for your satisfaction on a daily basis of your new addition. A door in the wrong location can quickly become very frustrating and costly to change.

Windows, think about which way they open, their size. For example,  If you want to create a larger look you might want to consider larger windows. Less interruption of the line of view, really gives a sense of larger space. 

Doors are obviously an important consideration.  Their size, location are obvious but also think about if you will need to carry anything in/out  through them. Which way they open is important, not only for practicality but look as well.  

There are many options that can be used like Patios, French Doors and Bi-folds.  Each haver their benefits and disadvantages. The best type will depend on your overall usage, space and whether the ability to open up more of your Orangery to the garden is important to you.

Style is where Orangeries really become a thing of beauty and elegance. Designed to suit function and  practicality with stunning looks, they really offer the best of all worlds – Creating a definite Quality Lifestyle.

Ambience, is really important to consider when looking at internal style as it will have a massive effect on how you feel in your Orangery.  All of the above will have a play in this.  However Doors and Brick corner columns play an important role.
