ORANGERY FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
Got questions about our orangeries? Explore our FAQs for helpful answers on design options, installation, planning permission, and more.
How does an orangery differ from a conservatory?
The key difference is that orangeries have more brick or masonry elements, often including solid walls and sometimes incorporating a solid roof with one or more roof lanterns. Conservatories typically have more glass, and don’t always incorporate solid walls. Orangeries are more similar to conservatories than standard home extensions, which always have solid roofs and tend to incorporate much less glazing.
What are the benefits of having an orangery?
Orangeries provide a unique blend of indoor and outdoor living space. They offer abundant natural light, insulation, and a sense of grandeur due to their architectural features. They can be used for various purposes, from dining rooms to living areas.
Are orangeries suitable for year-round use?
Yes, orangeries can be designed for year-round use. They offer better insulation compared to standard conservatories, making them comfortable in both summer and winter. Proper heating and ventilation can further enhance their year-round usability.
Do I need planning permission for an orangery?
The need for planning permission depends on various factors, including the size and location of the orangery, as well as local regulations. In many cases, smaller orangeries may fall under permitted development rights, but it’s essential to check with your local planning authority. We can help you through this process to make sure your orangery is compliant – we’ll take the stress off your hands.
