Range of Styles

Range of Styles Conservatories come in all shapes and sizes but there are a number of basic types into which most fit, which are listed below.

We will help you design a conservatory that adds value to your home, therefore, making the most of your investment whilst being unique to your tastes and expresses what is important to you. With nothing set as standard we can offer you a bespoke service to fully suit your needs.

Victorian

The Victorian is the most popular style with a versatility that makes it suitable for many types of houses. The curved front when combined with a steeply pitched roof and ornate ridge gives this conservatory a more classical appearance. The bay front is usually made up of either 3 or 5 panels or facets.

Georgian or Edwardian

This flat fronted, gracefully understated variant of the Victorian is known as either a Georgian or Edwardian. It offers excellent use of floor space due to the square or rectangular internal shape. Each side of the roof slopes back to the centre and the resulting contemporary style is suited to the majority of properties.

Gable Front

A gable-fronted style of conservatory adds a sense of grandeur and scale to any home. The front panel of the roof remains upright rather than sloping back to the centre as on a Georgian, maximising the feeling of light and space.

Box Gutter

A roof which slopes backwards towards the property needs a box gutter to collect rainwater. This arrangement makes more elaborate roof shapes achievable and makes it possible to build a conservatory with a pitched roof, even when adjoining property’s with low eaves.

Lean-to

The lean-to style is for those who prefer the clean understated lines of a Mediterranean sunroom. The pitch of the roof is variable, so that a shallow pitch could fit under a low bungalow roof.

P-Shape

Ideal for a larger conservatory, a P-shape can combine two different styles to create a room with a dual purpose, such as lounge/dining areas through to a fun family room. Most of the styles available can be combined with each other to create a very flexible space.

T-Shape

The T-shape style is more suited to large properties due to the proportions needed. It’s a combination style that is distinguished by a central projection that can be Victorian, Gabled or Georgian. A T-shape offers a large and versatile floor space and is an impressive addition to any home.

Lantern

Reminiscent of the original Orangery, a lantern top is the perfect way to add grandeur to a larger conservatory. The two-tiered effect adds a new dimension to your conservatory and the extra ceiling height adds to the feeling of light and space. Lanterns are typically suited to older style period properties and are often chosen for swimming pool enclosures or larger conservatories.

Large Span

Conservatories that are extremely large and require additional support to take the weight of the roof are known as large span conservatories or Portals. The uses for them are endless – from magnificent swimming pool enclosures to large commercial extensions; anything is possible due to the flexibility and advanced engineering of the large span system.
