What’s the difference between an orangery and a conservatory?

An orangery gives you the light and space of a conservatory but with the feel of a full extension. It features solid brick pillars and a partially solid roof and often includes a roof lantern to let in natural light. The result is a bright, thermally efficient room that feels more integrated with your home. Let us help you create a luxurious space that works all year round. Visit our dedicated article on whether orangeries or conservatories are better! It is important to note that we offer bespoke conservatories, as well as orangeries, so if you are struggling to decide whether a conservatory or an orangery is right for your home, get in touch with our team for free, unbiased advice!

Will my orangery be warm enough to use in winter?

Yes, we design our orangeries to perform like any other room in your home. With high-spec insulation, energy-efficient glazing, and a roof designed to retain heat, you’ll enjoy a comfortable space no matter the season. Enjoy a space that’s as cosy in January as it is cool in July.

BESPOKE ORANGERIES DESIGNED AND BUILT IN HAMPSHIRE, BERKSHIRE, SURREY, DORSET, WEST SUSSEX, OXFORDSHIRE AND WILTSHIRE

Orangeries from Brackenwood bring style, comfort and year round usability to your home. Each design is created to fill your living space with natural light while maintaining a feeling of safety, warmth and cosiness, even during the coldest winter weather.

WHY CHOOSE A BRACKENWOOD ORANGERY

Orangeries use a more substantial construction than a typical glazed room, with brick, stone or an equivalent solid structure that feels permanently part of your home.

Foundations are more robust, and doors are usually full height wide opening designs such as bi fold doors. The roof is higher and more architectural, often incorporating roof lanterns over a solid insulated ceiling.

The result is an orangery that delivers exceptional thermal performance and outstanding comfort, creating a beautiful space you will want to use every day.
