Orangery Basingstoke

Stunning Orangeries in Basingstoke

Whatever space you have available in your garden, an orangery can be designed to complement it.

These impressive and practical extensions are ideal for any Basingstoke home and will give you year after year of pleasure.

Orangeries: What are they?

The classical orangery style originated during the Renaissance period. During the 15th and 16th century, Italian nobility used Roman inspired architecture to grow citrus trees. This practical, yet beautiful structure was therefore given the name ‘orangery’.

Although thought of as similar, there are two main differences between an orangery and a conservatory.

The first is that an orangery includes more brickwork than a conservatory. This makes it more durable and long lasting. Less glass is used in the design than in a conservatory, and so although an orangery still offers a bright and airy living space, it also offers more privacy.

The second is in the roof design. An orangery roof has a large plastered flat roof with a roof lantern that is generally placed centrally. It is also possible to have a lean-to style which allows for a lantern to be positioned against a wall at the back. The designs for a roof lantern are numerous, as it can be made in a variety of shapes. The solid part of the roof lantern adds stability while also joining one room to another, which creates a practical enclosed extended room.

How can an Orangery benefit your Basingstoke home?

There are immense benefits to choosing an orangery for your home. Much like a traditional extension, it can create either an additional room or an extension to an existing room. The difference being that an orangery is installed with less hassle and is less time consuming, meaning that it is more cost effective.

You also have the benefits that come with a conservatory, such as maximised natural light and enticing views of your garden. However, the structure is more durable, giving you a sense of sturdiness and security. You can be confident in their long lasting performance.

One of the best aspects is the privacy that they provide. An orangery is far more soundproofed than a conservatory, enabling you to enjoy a peaceful haven away from the hustle and bustle of the outside world. Add to that the brickwork walls, and you can be comfortable that you are not overlooked.

Finally, an orangery is a thermally efficient choice. The lantern roof is designed to keep the temperature at a comfortable level while keeping the weather out. You will be warm and dry throughout the year.

Tailored Design

One of the most delightful benefits of choosing an orangery is that the design is tailored to your home and tastes. No matter what space you have available, or the design requirements you have, an orangery can be adapted to suit your needs and desires.

When creating your complete design, you can choose from a wide range of uPVC door options, such as French doors, bi-fold doors or patio doors, all of which can be adjusted for accessibility, making them the perfect choice for wheelchair users. Your double glazed windows can come in any style you like, such as casement windows, sash windows, or tilt and turn windows, giving you an overall look that is perfect for you and your home.

As with all our uPVC windows and doors, the options you choose come in a range of colours, enabling you to match them to your existing double glazing, or perhaps giving you a new, unique finish.

The shape and size of your orangery can be versatile, so whether you have a large garden, or a small and awkward space to fill, your orangery can be designed to fit perfectly. They are suited to any sized property, new build or period. You can be sure that the orangery you choose will enhance the appearance of your home, complementing the design features that are already there.

Essentially, with an orangery, you have all the design benefits that come with traditional extensions, but with none of the difficulties. Your design will be bespoke to you and your home, giving you a personalised and unique additional living space.
