Orangeries

Need to create more space? Enjoy more light and add value to your home!

Orangery overview

Orangeries provide the best of both worlds, combining the light and sky of a conservatory with the walls and ceiling of a more convensional extension. Orangeries are truly multi-functional, creating a pleasant space for relaxing or a ‘full on’ family room, a dining room or even a study.

An Orangery offers more, lots more than either a conservatory or an extension. Consider these benefits when choosing Livin Room which features enhanced roofing technology.

  • Creates a whole new dynamic to the space – a ‘real room / living room’ feel.
  • You can maintain light and space by incorporating windows and doors all round OR introduce brick piers to give a greater feel of a more conventional extension.
  • Both the product and our workmanship are covered by a full comprehensive ten year guarantee.
  • Enhanced thermal efficiency when compared to a standard conservatory.
  • The real room / living room feel means more styling and furnishing options and the perimeter ceiling is perfect for down lighters.

Enjoy the light from a conservatory with the feel of an extension – providing greater overall value and the best of all worlds.

The roof

The roof is the most important structural element in any orangery because it provides strength, stability and ventilation. To ensure you get the maximum enjoyment from your new orangery, all Window Wise orangeries are fitted with Ultraframe roofs.

Ultraframe are the acknowledged international leaders in the design and manufacture of conservatory and orangery roofs. Every roofing system carries a 25 year BBA (British Board of Agrément) life expectancy. With over a million roof installations performing day in, day out in the UK, you can be sure that an Ultraframe orangery will give you years of pleasure and add to the value of your home.

To flood your home with natural light, orangery roofs are fitted with Ultrasky lanterns or flat skylights. Roof lanterns are the traditional choice for orangeries, adding a sense of grandeur. Skylights are an elegant option for contemporary homes or where a lower profile is needed.

Window Wise are one of a select group of Ultra Installers approved by Ultraframe and the BBA to design and install orangeries with an Ultraframe roof.

 

The walls

The wall product you choose will depend on the style of your Orangery, the location, it’s intended use and your own personal preference.

Dwarf brick build cavity walls combined with standard height window frames and french doors are more commonly used however low level or even full height window frames combined with brick piers and either patio doors or the superb concertina doors can provide a striking design.

If you’re not sure what’s best for your home, our orangery consultants are always on hand to give you expert help and advice on planning your new living space.

The base

A solid foundation is the key to any build and you can trust Window Wise to take care of this for you. From site clearance, footings, services, insulated base and rubbish removal we will handle it all.

Orangeries are used as all year round living space requiring electrics and heating to maximise year round use and these can all be accommodated during the building phase.

Our surveyor will visit the site at regular intervals to ensure work is on schedule and deal with any questions you may have.

Roof colours

Window Wise provide the Ultraframe Orangery roof in a choice of nine colours to compliment your choice of windows and doors.

Roof glazing

If you’re looking to bring more light into your home, then a glass roof is the right choice for you. Window Wise offer climate control glazing, which is specially engineered for the needs of an orangery roof.

Our solar control glass works by deflecting heat from the sun in the summer to keep the inside of the extension cool and by retaining the warmth from heating appliances in the winter. It also features a true self-cleaning coating that uses the power of the sun to break down organic deposits and rainwater to wash it clean away.

An orangery featuring climate control glazing, in a choice of clear or tinted finishes, gives you the optimum glazing solution.

Roof options

We offer a range of optional extras to enable you to personalise your Orangery to your individual requirements.

Ventilation: We can provide different solutions to ensure the perfect climate in your Orangery.

  • Ultraframe trickle ventilation ensures the natural upward movement of warm air to carry moisture to the roof apex allowing it to filter outside.
  • Ultraframe roof vents, highly insulated with a choice of manual or electric openers.

Heating: Consideration should be given to extending your home’s central heating system. Alternatively, you might consider under-floor heating, electric wall heaters or free-standing heating appliances.

Fans: We can supply an extensive range of contemporary and traditional roof ridge mounted fans for gentle air movement. These can be supplied with either a standard pull-chain or infra-red remote control and are available with or without lighting.

Cresting and Finials: You can choose from a variety of give crestings and four final options to personalise the exterior of your Livin Room roof.

Lighting: You can create the perfect ambience using integrated spotlights in the roof pelmet – available in chrome, brass and white finish. The pelmet is also ideal to house built in speakers for your home entertainment system.
