What Is An Orangery?
Orangeries are a popular way to gain a new space for homes across the United Kingdom. They are a perfect combination of house extensions and conservatories, available in multiple styles. They provide a cosy space for entertainment or relaxation as your customers’ unlock a new space in your Worcester home.
In this guide, Worcester Trade Frames will explore the unique features of an orangery and the benefits it can provide homeowners.
Unique Features of Orangeries
An orangery is known for its higher brick-to-glass ratio compared to alternative extensions, such as conservatories, and is more commonly designed to match the home. This provides a seamless transition between the property and the orangery, enhancing the home’s appearance. They typically feature a lantern roof on top of the orangery, allowing natural light to flow inside easily.
What Is The Difference Between Orangeries & Conservatories
The main difference between an orangery and a conservatory is the brick-to-glass ratio. A conservatory typically features larger windows and a glazed roof, allowing for maximum sunlight to enter. Meanwhile, an orangery will be constructed from additional bricks, providing more privacy. Conservatories also tend to come in multiple sizes and shapes, while orangeries are commonly square or rectangular.
What Is The Difference Between Orangeries & House Extensions
The purpose of a house extension is to expand your customers’ homes, providing them with additional space for a kitchen or dining room. Meanwhile, with an orangery, they can create a cosy, relaxing space. House extensions can be installed on the side, front, or back of a home, depending on where the homeowners have the most space or what the purpose is. However, orangeries will usually be installed in the back garden where there is the most privacy.
Benefits of Orangeries
An orangery can offer multiple benefits to your customers, combining various performance-enhancing factors with style.
1. Weatherproofing
Orangeries are constructed from brick and other durable materials, making them highly weather-resistant. For instance, at Worcester Trade Frames, we utilise high-performance trickle vents that filter water from the roof to the guttering as well as increase ventilation in your customers’ new space. This will help prevent dampness, rot, leaks, and other weather-related problems. As well as ensuring an increased lifespan so that your customers can enjoy their new orangery for much longer before needing any repairs or replacements.
2. High Security
When fitted with multiple locking systems, orangeries can provide an excellent level of security for the home. The durable materials used in the orangery will ensure that it remains strong and rigid during any weather conditions or a potential break-in.
3. Thermal Efficiency
Energy bills are a growing concern for homeowners nationwide. This is why home improvement products, such as orangeries, are equipped with thermally insulated materials to help increase their thermal performance.
4. Increased Property Value
Like with any other home extension product, your customers can also expect an increased property value when they get an orangery installation. While the exact increase in property value is dependent upon various factors, such as the local market, size or the quality of the orangery, typically they can expect to see a 5 – 20% increase. Considering that orangeries are generally more affordable than home extensions, the increase in property value makes them a worthwhile investment for homeowners.
4. Style
At Worcester Trade Frames, our orangeries are designed with uPVC frameworks. This offers weatherproofing, longevity, and high performance for orangeries, as well as ease when it comes to choosing colour finishes.
