Clearview conservatories will go beyond your expectations

Total design flexibility is possible with our conservatories, unlike some companies, with Clearview you will not be restricted to modular size options. With our range of conservatory designs, offering both space and value, we have a selection of conservatories from which you can choose the perfect addition to your home. Below we’ve listed the main types of conservatory styles and the common names used for each design.

Edwardian Conservatories

The striking pointed roof helps give this conservatory the feeling of extra space and an ageless appearance, which blends well with properties both old and new. You certainly won’t be short of living space when you invest in a beautiful Edwardian conservatory from Clearview.

One of the major plus points of an Edwardian conservatory is how similar it looks and feels to a typical room in your home, helping you blend home and conservatory very easily. Clearview believe it to be an ideal choice for homeowners looking to use a room for multiple purposes. There is nothing to stop you from using it as a both a room to dine in and a room in which you can put your feet up and relax.

Modern Conservatory from Clearview

Lean-To Conservatories

Conservatories are a practical way of providing extra space for living without the hassle of moving or the disruption of a traditional extension. For properties with little room under the eaves or for those homeowners that prefer a simple look, a Lean-To Conservatory is the ideal choice.

The pitch of the roof can be varied, making this a versatile and ever-popular style option. The traditional Lean-To Conservatory style, with its clean simple lines, is also known as a Sun Lounge. It’s ideal for bungalows or where the smallest angles of roof pitch and free spans of up to 4 metres are necessary.

Grey Lean-To Conservatory

Victorian Conservatories

A classic Victorian design is an eternally popular style which will typically have three facets to the front, giving a pleasing, curved appearance, or a lean-to style with its clean simple lines is ideally suited to bungalows.

A derivative option is to combine a Victorian style with a lean-to creating the appealing P-shape design, suitable for larger properties, creating a conservatory with a floor plan that has two different areas to fulfil different uses. Split into three or five facets depending on your personal preferences, you will find that a Victorian conservatory from Clearview is a great choice.

Solid Tiled Roof Conservatory

Gable Conservatories

Gable conservatories takes its inspiration from the traditional Edwardian style of conservatory. It has the ability to transform the smallest of gardens, offering you all the space you need to extend your home substantially.

Thanks to the way it is constructed you will find that it brings in an enormous amount of natural light, giving you a much-needed welcoming atmosphere. The height of the conservatory also helps give an impression of spaciousness. Most of all, the lines used on this fantastic design really will help bring out the best of your home.

Explore frames & roof options for conservatories

Once you’ve decided on the style of your new conservatory, we have a huge variety of frame, colour and hardware options for you to choose from that will help you really personalise your look. From a traditional cottage feel to a sleek and contemporary conservatory design, we’ll have the perfect combination of UPVC or aluminium materials that will work for you. Your choices will influence the level of security and energy efficiency of your build too, so it ’s important to get it right.

A colourful array of stylish aluminium finishes...

You will be stunned by how astonishingly good our aluminium colours look. A robust powder-coating process is what gives them that all-important durability and richness in texture so that when applied to the frame they truly sparkle.

The beauty of RAL aluminium coloured window frames is that they can be dual coloured and usually come in a choice of gloss, matt or satin finish.

A new roof needs to be the crowning glory of any conservatory...

For a transparent perspective of the clouds above your head whilst inside a conservatory a glass roof is the best solution. Not only will it provide a clear view but it also has the capacity to minimise the sound of any rain or hail that hits it so that enjoyment inside is guaranteed at all times.

In addition to its comprehensive list of benefits, it also offers superb solar control, can be tinted in various ways and there’s always the option to specify self-cleaning glass should the extension being positioned in a spot where cleaning the roof could be complex. When observing the structure externally you will immediately note just how well it works in unison with the glazed windows and doors.

A tiled roof conservatory is something that no other roof can match...

There’s no denying that a tiled roof will obscure overhead light and views to some extent compared to a polycarbonate roof, but in terms of aesthetics both externally and internally it is in a league of its own.

Any loss of natural light is compensated for by an increase in privacy and because roof windows and integrated spotlights are included in the design there’s no chance of the conservatory ever getting too dark. To ensure the extension seamlessly complements a property, select a suitable set of roofing tiles and don’t forget that a solid roof can be utilise in both a new-build and existing conservatory.

Add the final details to your conservatory...

Our range of window and door handles are manufactured to the highest quality standards, to ensure years of performance whilst always looking as good as the day they were installed.

We’ll help you choose the right colour and style of window and door handles to finish off your new conservatory perfectly.
