Edwardian conservatories - Victorian conservatories - Lean to Conservatory - Orangeries

It’s true that the Conservatory is one of the most sought after home improvements in the UK. It’s also true that the conservatory is one of the most complex structures to design, manufacture and install, indeed the county court system is awash with consumers taking legal action for failed conservatories and lost deposits. This later point is typically the consumer’s fault for choosing an inexperienced company to carry out such a complex project.

The usual problem is that the consumer has gone for the cheapest quote, without consideration of competence or experience. Very often what appears to be the lowest quote proves to be the most expensive.

One organisation - Network VEKA is making this choice very simple, by providing FREE advice and quotations coupled with the correct price for the job – a price to suit the client’s budget.

Conservatory prices are governed by several key issues, such as:

• Intended use: What do you need the extra space for - TV room, study lounge?
• Location and access: A very important decision in relation to its success.
• The Style of conservatory: Lean-to, Victorian, Edwardian, P-shape, orangery. Foundation; concrete or frame system.
• Required energy rating: A, B or C rating. Heating: Electric radiators, under-floor or connected to the central heating system.
• The Design: Dwarf wall, fully glazed. Material specification: The roof – polycarbonate or glass, the frame type, timber, aluminium or PVC-u, glazing detail, hardware.

The list goes on and on. However, with some solid advice from your local Network VEKA member it is possible to find a combination that suits even the most demanding budget. What we won’t compromise on is the quality of the window system, because it is not in your interest to do so. We use the world renowned VEKA window systems for total quality.

Here are some price pointers that will impact on your choice and price:

• Typically a PVC-u conservatory will be up to 50% less costly than a Hardwood equivalent.
  
• A flat site with easy access will lower the cost substantially.
  
• A lean-to conservatory with three glazed walls and the roof coming from the main house is the most cost effective structure.
  
• The less bespoke the more you save. Standard sizes will provide cost savings.
  

Budget specification
The VEKA PVC-u frame extrusion along with standard double glazing and 16 mm polycarbonate in the roof. This conservatory may be too cold over the worst winter months.

Intermediate specification
The VEKA PVC-u frame fitted with superior locking and security features, Low ‘E’ double glazing and a thermally efficient polycarbonate roof. This conservatory will offer improved thermal efficiency during the winter months.

High specification
The VEKA PVC-u frame system with high security locking features, a dwarf wall, double inward or outward opening French doors, double glazing in both side frames and roof with a low ‘E’ glazing system. The window system will probably be structurally reinforced. The conservatory roof will probably also include sun reflective tinted glazing.

Beginning back to the early 17^th Century, the orangery became a fashionable addition to any estate belonging to people of a certain stature within the Netherlands, particularly Holland. Before the introduction of sweet oranges into England, all that were grown naturally were very bitter. The English nobility were enthusiastic to build their own orangeries to grow the sweeter variety that required warmer conditions. Building strong relations between the Dutch and the English gentry, orangeries began appearing across England. Typical in their design and period features, they are now in great demand as more and more homeowners are discovering the beauty of a themed orangery conservatory as the perfect addition to their homes.

With the majority of customers purchasing conservatories for the purpose of adding additional space and light to their homes, the introduction of the orangery conservatory is a fantastic way to fully utilise the heat and light that can be harnessed from the sun to create a fresh and inviting space to utilise for any purpose – lounge, kitchen, dining room, gym or leisure area.
