What Makes Victorian Conservatories Special?

Victorian conservatories are popular because of their design. The combination of aesthetics and functionality is one of the reasons they’ve lasted for so long and continue to be the number one choice for homeowners.

Bay Windows

You’ll notice that Victorian conservatories often have a front bay window, with further windows around the sides of the frame. These are perfect for British gardens because the windows let a lot of light in, so your conservatory can be a welcoming place to relax in the winter.

Glass Roof

The glass roof on a Victorian conservatory allows for more natural light to stream through, and the room can retain more heat. You’ll often notice ornate detailing on the roof frame, which keeps in line with traditional Victorian style.

While our Victorian conservatories follow the popular style theme, advances in technology mean we can use cheaper and more sustainable materials. You can get all of the period beauty without the extra cost.

Why Choose a Victorian Style Conservatory?
Wonderful Views

Victorian conservatories are defined by their unique layout. With multifaceted windows, you’ll have an incredible view of your garden.

Adds Character

Character is so important to home buyers, and many will pay extra if a home has an ornate appeal. Because Victorian conservatory design is all about creating a functional yet delicate space, your property will immediately attract more interest.

Even new builds can be more appealing with the addition of a Victorian-style conservatory.

Creates Space

You’d think that adding a conservatory to your property would reduce space, but the unique Victoria design means it often feels like you have a more generous living area. High roofs and panoramic views offer an airy feel to your conservatory, and you can enjoy the lightness all year round.

    More About Our Victorian Conservatory

    The History of Victorian Conservatories

    Queen Victoria reigned from 1837 until 1901, and with such a long reign the Victorian architecture period actually covers a range of styles. Generally, the architecture of this period borrowed many of its features from a mixture of historic styles along with Middle-Eastern and Asian influences. The start of the Victorian era roughly coincided with the production in the UK of cylinder blown sheet glass in 1832. This was a manufacturing method which allowed the production of sheets of glass which were larger and of better quality than those produced with previous methods. Glass manufacturing was further advanced in 1848 with the cast plate method of production which again increased size and quality whilst lowering the cost of glass.

    The repeal of a glass tax in the UK in 1845 along with technical advances which made steel viable as a building material led to the construction of The Crystal Palace in London during the Great Exhibition of 1851. The Crystal Palace was the largest glass building that had ever been produced at the time, and astonished visitors with its clear walls and ceilings and impressive size. It was this incredible building which kick-started the trend for glass architecture in public, horticultural and domestic buildings.

    Characteristics of Victorian conservatory

    A Victorian style conservatory may feature design elements like gothic arched glazing bars, decorative roof crestings and finials, intricately leaded glass, large decorative pillars or other architectural flourishes.

    There is no set layout for a Victorian conservatory, however one of the things which gained popularity in the early era was angled bay windows – a window which protrudes to the outside of a building with three sections of window at 45 degree angles to one another to create extra internal space and natural lighting.

    This style design carries over to what may commonly be thought of as a Victorian style conservatory today – the front of the building has this same “bay style” layout with 45 degree angled frames, and a roof which follows the same shape, with hips and rafters meeting at a central point and adjoining a common ridge.

    This design feature may be on the end of a simple, largely rectangular structure, or it may be incorporated into a more complicated design. Almost any shape is possible, including “U” shaped and “X” shaped buildings with Victorian bay frontages, but more commonly seen are “P” and “T” shaped buildings where the main body of a conservatory is of a “Lean-to” design adjoining a house wall, with a further protruding section at one end or in the centre of the building.
