Popular Home Extension Ideas
Orangerie were buildings frequently found / located in prestige residences throughout the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries. This type of structure was designed to be similar to a greenhouse (glass room) to allow maximum light and warmth into a property which typically grew citrus trees, orange trees & other produce. This type of structure frequently contained complex architecture for looks and for glass panels to be mounted to in an arrangement that allowed for maximum light to enter.
The Orangery originally came from the Renaissance gardens in Italy at the time when manufacturing for glass was sufficient to produce the glass sizes required for the roofing systems. The Dutch led the way in developing larger and larger panes of window glass. Dutch manuals showed solid roofs that were beamed or vaulted and were easier to manufacture using the heat from a stove rather than using open fires and blue flames. They eventually became a symbol of wealth and were expensive to manufacutre & buy which led to the installations being in more affluent areas of the UK and other areas in europe.

Learn more about The History of Orangeries
An orangery is an extension that is the equivalent of an atrium-style conservatory, featuring a brick base and a roof composed of a centralised roof lantern with a flat roof perimeter.
The main differences between an orangery and a wooden conservatory are the base and the roof. Orangery designs typically feature a brickwork base and flat roof with a centralised roof lantern, while conservatories typically have a centralised pitched roof and a frame construction that goes from the ground directly up to the pitched roof edge with no perimeter.
When it comes to determining orangery cost, prices can range anywhere from £8,000 through to in excess of £100,000, depending on the size, style, design and features. Typically, average to large property extensions will cost upwards of £20,000.
Our orangeries are mainly constructed with a timber, oak or pine framework, and a brick or stone base and pillars with a corbel gutter. Roof lanterns are typically timber framed with aluminium capping. We do not use UPVC/PVC for any of our products, and bifold doors are typically made from either timber or oak hardwood.
There are lots of different terms used for the same or similar structures including hothouses, greenhouses, winter gardens, summer rooms/summerhouse.
At Orangeries UK, we design orangeries in Sapele, Idigbo and Oak hardwoods. These materials are naturally durable and are factory-finished with purpose-made paints and stains to protect them from the elements. The different species we use each have their own grain and colour characteristics, and we can tailor the finish to suit each individual installation. Some woods are better suited to specific types of finish; for opaque-painted colours and darker translucent stained colours for example, we use Sapele timber as standard as this species has a dense, close grain and is naturally strong and durable. For lighter stained colours we recommend Idigbo, which has a lighter, more yellow colour and a slightly more open grain than Sapele. For that really special touch or a rustic look, why not choose European Oak? We recommend that Oak is stained in one of our lightest stain colours as this lets the natural beauty of the timber through.
We offer a range of flooring types including real hardwood flooring, wood and stone effect flooring, mosaic, metallic and pebble effect vinyl tiles and more.
There are a number of benefits of having an orangery installed. Many people choose to extend their property with a conservatory to create extra living space, and orangeries are frequently used to extend key functional areas of the home such as the kitchen. Conservatories are more popular for smaller properties, whilst orangery structures tend to extend a property much further.
Most of the time people choose to extend their property with a conservatory just for extra living space, however, Orangeries are frequently used to extend key areas of a home such as a living room or kitchen. Conservatories are more popular for smaller properties, whilst structures tend to extend a property much further.
Your property will require additional planning permission before any further extensions can be made to ensure that specific guidelines are met. Adding any extension to your home is considered to be "permitted development" which generally does not need an application for planning permission unless it falls outside of set planning guidelines. You can read more about planning permission here: https://www.planningportal.gov.uk/permission/commonprojects/conservatories/Other planning permission information can be found at https://www.planningportal.co.uk/info/200130/common_projects/10/conservatories
