If you want to enhance your living area, there are lots of different choices you can consider. As an extension will raise the market value of the home, you might be wondering how orangeries, conservatories, and sunrooms differ from each other.
At SRJ, we have installed orangeries, sunrooms, and conservatories for over 30 years. In this article, we will compare these builds so we can help you make an informed decision.
When expanding your living space, one of the most important things is to stay warm. With energy bills increasing thanks to the cost of living crisis, saving money is vital. Our conservatories are supplied by Ultraframe, who specialise in keeping your home cosy and warm.
Our conservatories are equipped with an insulated pelmet which brings more warmth to your property. The pelmet will sit around the perimeter of your room, giving the illusion of a flat roof with a lantern on top. It gives you the opportunity to add spotlights, which will bring a warm feel to your home. Additionally, when the pelmet is infiltrated with mineral wool, you will benefit from enhanced performance.
At SRJ, our orangeries are also supplied by Ultraframe. One of the features that make our orangeries stand out is our Ultrasky roof, which includes a thermal ridge for outstanding performance. This is ideal because you won’t need extra bars, and no light will be distorted. Our orangeries have a super insulated column that delivers comfort and style in equal measure. The extra brickwork that is included in traditional orangeries will increase privacy and retain more heat.
Our sunrooms give you an energy efficient profile that provides you with extremely low U Values and plenty of natural heat. This will give you a toasty and warm environment that saves plenty of money on your energy bills. It even comes with a glass roof that is equipped with advanced double glazing as standard, meaning cold air will be left outside.
At SRJ, we believe your home should stay secure all year round. Our sunrooms are built with extra security features, such as advanced double glazing. This makes them strong and durable so that they will handle any tough weather conditions such as wind and rain.
In comparison to a sunroom, modern orangeries and conservatories will include advanced double glazing in their builds. This will give you more security in your home because the glazing is built with multi point locking systems.
This will deter intruders, which will keep you and your family safe. The glazing is fitted tightly into the frame, so you’ll get more security options. The double glazing is a fantastic insulator of sound, perfect if you live in a noisy neighbourhood or a busy road. This makes sure any loud sounds will be reduced to a whisper. This privacy is useful to convert your space into a gym or an office if you work from home. This way, you will experience premium comfort and style when you choose a conservatory or orangery.
It’s vital to make your sunroom stand out from the crowd. The perk of our sunroom extensions is they can act like an orangery by letting lots of natural light reflect into your home. One way of doing this is to install French doors in your home. These doors offer privacy but can be opened up when needed. Our sunrooms are crafted with a range of RAL colours, so your home will blend in even more. Create a seamless passageway between your home and garden when you choose a bifold door.
Similarly, our conservatories can be custom built. If your guttering makes your home look unsightly, a decorative cornice will help transform it. The cornice works with all Ultraframe roofs and comes in four standard colours or any RAL colour. Your roofline will be transformed immediately. The conservatory itself comes in a selection of eye catching RAL colours, customised exactly how you want them.
You will even get a choice of uPVC or aluminium glass roofs, which are strong, durable, and low maintenance.
Our Sunrooms are ideal for letting in natural light. They have massive glass panels, which give your home a massive influx of natural light. This has many advantages, including being a bright and welcoming space for any guest entering your home. This will increase the size of your living space and save money on energy bills, giving you beautiful views of your garden.
Conservatories and orangeries offer a significant difference in how much light enters your home. A conservatory will give you clearer views of the garden because it doesn’t have the extra brickwork of the orangery.
Ultimately, whether you want a conservatory, orangery, or a sunroom, the choice is yours. We have something that suits your needs.
