Orangeries – traditional & modern designs

Choose the perfect orangery design from Clearview, one that caters for your lifestyle and adds a new whole dimension to your home in Cheshire, Lancashire & Staffordshire.

Choosing an Orangery or Conservatory?

Orangeries represent the ideal combination of the benefits and looks of a conventional extension. They are wonderfully light and airy spaces due to the glazed roofs as well as being cosy and inviting throughout the year. Adding an orangery onto your home immediately offers the extra room, light, and space you always imagined, as well as being both practical and enjoyable.

The only hard part about buying an orangery is needing to decide whether you want a traditional or modern design. Although, there’s no wrong choice.

Orangery features

An orangery can be a space for all family to relax in, an extension of an existing kitchen area or a place for entertaining house guests on those special occasions.

The different hotspots opposite will give you more background on the main features of our stunning orangeries.

Orangery

Brick Pillars

Incorporating brick pillars alongside large windows and feature doors to create a perfectly coordinated addition to your existing home.

Security

We offer a full range of high-security locking systems and accessories to ensure that your home will be protected from the threat of break-ins.

Glass

Choose from a range of intelligent glazing options that not only work to control the internal temperature but also include self-clean or easy-clean alternatives.

Lighting

You can add lighting to our orangeries thanks to our clever internal and external features. The internal pelmet provides the perfect place for lighting or you can add patio lights to the outside within the external soffit.

Insulation

Insulated columns and pelmets prevent heat from escaping helping you to maintain a more comfortable temperature inside.

Which roof to choose for your orangery

We offer four different roofing options for our full range of orangeries. Choose from traditional tiles, shingle tiles, traditional lantern featuring performance roof glazing or a flatroof design featuring skylights to create a modern orangery look.

Glass Roof Orangeries

There’s nothing like a beautiful sky view to put a smile on your face – embrace it morning, noon, and night, and whilst doing so, enjoy sustained comfort. Incredible headway has been made in solar control glazing, with it featuring coatings and tints intelligent enough to stop the escape of internal heat and capitalise on the heat exerted by the sun to impart warmth around the space. An insulated pelmet would also chip in with stemming heat loss – enquire about it with an advisor.

The in-built weather proofing technology will ensure the orangery prevails over the elements. Specify use of self-cleaning or easy-clean roof glazing to simplify maintenance.

Glass Roof Orangery Detail

Tiled Roof Orangeries

Orangeries should be fit for daily usage and seamlessly merge into their home destinations, so they appear to be a natural extension of a house. Clearview’s orangeries adhere to this and overdeliver in strength and thermal efficiency for persistent endurance. Select from a slate, shingle, or traditional tile roof, whichever of the three you believe is most complementary to the property. Velux windows or large glass panels can also be styled into your chosen roof for an added splash of light.

Employing a tiled roof in your orangery is a guaranteed route to dependable cosiness and thermal efficiency, nullifying the weather from ruining things. Compared to a traditional glass roof, Clearview’s tiled roof system harnesses ultra-modern solid roof tiles, which excel in strength and stability.

Tiled Roof Orangery Extension

Solid Roof Orangeries

Glass panels can be inserted to replace any of the solid roofing panels, and in almost any shape – enabling you to maximise the light in your orangery to produce a contemporary design not easily achievable with other orangery roofs. Your newly-installed solid roof will truly transform your interior space for your orangery.

Internally, solid roofs are stunning, delivering a magnificent vaulted ceiling which incorporates an internal pelmet around its perimeter, into which lights or speakers can be installed. At the ridge of solid roof, you can also insert or hang lights in places you otherwise wouldn’t be able to on a vaulted or suspended ceiling.

Solid Roof Conservatories Internal Views

Lantern Roof Orangeries

Here’s something completely out of the ordinary! A lantern roof is impressive as it gets and will give your orangery such a magnified presence at home. Light entry will occur at multiple points and angles to fill the space with a flood of vitality and forge the illusion of extra space. Constituting ultra-slim glazing bars, Clearview’s lantern roofs promise to be a core centrepiece of our orangery designs.

Participate in the customising of the lantern roof with your assigned project guide, communicating your preferences in glazing and frame style. A standard feature of our orangeries is thermally efficient solar control glazing, which has countless benefits.

Lantern Roof Orangery

Contemporary Flat Roof with Skylights

Invite the sky to join you in your orangery by insisting on the inclusion of a contemporary flat roof, sure to inject warmth, brightness, and an arresting finish. Skylights are as visually engaging from the inside as the outside – many a time you will find yourself engrossed in the elegance of the crisp lines and tinted glass. All flat roof orangery styles can incorporate a skylight, offering equal symmetry of warmth and a powerful sky seascape.

A Clearview flat roof encompasses the best in weather proofing technology so that it’s geared to repel the elements from the design. Make roof maintenance light work by requesting self-cleaning or easy-clean glazing.

Flat Roof Extensions

Which style of door to choose for your orangery

Your choice of feature door for a Clearview orangery will be dependent on how you plan on using it. You may decree that a double opening French door fits your purpose most or be enticed by the sliding functionality of a patio door or bi-folding door. These door styles will be an outright saviour.

Orangery French Doors

Fine weather comes in fits and starts in this country, so you’ve got to enjoy it whenever it comes, and French doors can give you an exquisite opening from your new orangery to ensure you don’t miss out on it. Opening just a single door will suffice for outdoor accessibility, and how lovely it is to exploit the full opening of the design when fresh air is craved.

French doors are not restricted to external use – employ them as an internal door to connect the orangery to the property and retain the individuality of the two locations.

Grey Conservatory with French Doors

Orangery Patio Doors

You want to maximise the space in the orangery as much as possible and patio doors function in a way that won’t impede on it. Sliding from side-to-side, rather than having inward or outward opening sashes, enables the placement of furniture close to the doors.

Operating a patio door is far from strenuous, requiring only a small push using the handle to help it along the stainless steel runners. Vast glazed units occupy the space between the frames and transfer in huge volumes of light. Realising the highest levels of security and thermal efficiency, our patio sliding doors can be made bespoke.

Anthracite Grey Patio Doors

Orangery Bi-Fold Doors

Appreciators of contemporary style will be enraptured by bi-folding doors and their one-off operating method. Working like a concertina, you can neatly fold them away to open practically an entire wall of the orangery.

The ease with which the doors move, and fold must be tried out to comprehend. They are a pioneering solution and can also boast great weather protecting qualities and high-level security. No modern orangery seems complete with a bi-folding door.

Modern Grey Orangery with Bi-Fold Doors

Orangery Door Hardware

Your door handle is a vital element of the orangery and far more than just a minor design detail. Furnishings are what bring doors to life and help them add character to the overall orangery aesthetic.

Security-minded at all times, Clearview has crafted its handles to assimilate trusty components. Quiz a designer for more detail about security, but here are the top-line benefits:

  • Self-locking features for enhanced burglar protection.
  • Latchbolts secured to stave off manipulation when door is closed.
  • Components confined to provide optimal comfort.

I love the colour of the windows and doors we chose for our new orangery, it makes it look so much more modern and contemporary.

Our distinct and equally stunning material collections for the windows and doors in your new orangery will help inspire and inform you.

White Extreme UPVC Windows

Our Envisage flush UPVC window collection...

Designed to replicate the unique style of early glazed timber windows, our flush casement range is characterised by simple lines that complement traditional and contemporary orangeries. Envisage flush windows maintain the authentic proportions of traditional windows and, just as they would have been made in the past, the opening lights do not protrude from the frame. As well as a truly adaptable style, the Envisage collection includes exceptional performance with increased security and insulation.

Envisage flush windows have an adaptable design that can provide any heritage, rustic, or minimalist home with the ideal finishing touch.

Envisage Flush Windows

Let your personality shine through by opting for a colour that you love...

Your orangery can be decorated in an array of colourful finishes that will bring life to the design. We will need to consider the roof styling and frame when selecting the perfect colour, but this will still leave you with a wide assortment of choices of varied shades and woodgrain finishes.

Our Eclipse aluminium window collection...

Hand-crafted in the UK, incredibly strong and with a beautiful visual appeal, our market-leading aluminium window range will transform any modern orangery. Crucially, they are built with the durability to withstand the worst that the British weather has to offer.

Eclipse Aluminium Windows

It’s our powder-coating process that brings out our aluminium finishes...

We often get customers asking us how we produce our aluminium finishes as they’re taken aback by the quality of them. It’s all to do with the 11-stage powder-coating procedure we employ to apply each of the finishes to the aluminium frames. As for our woodgrains, they are created using the sublimation method and come in Walnut, Oak and Rosewood, which you would easily believe are actual wood-based finishes.

Handles that are lovingly crafted…

At Clearview, we’re privileged enough to have some very talented craftspeople who take tremendous care when crafting our many traditional and contemporary-styled handles. The detail in them in quite extraordinary.

Traditional Orangery or Contemporary Orangery?

Clearview is committed to providing its customers with a plethora of choice. If you wish to invest in a cost-effective orangery that incorporates the main characteristics of a traditional design, you simply must check out our contemporary orangeries. It has the solid brick structure that’s synonymous with a traditional orangery and looks very similar to one on the inside.

But where it does differ is that a contemporary orangery doesn’t have a flat perimeter around the roof. It will be a beautiful space that you cannot get enough and continuously like to use.

Learn more about our orangeries

Deciding on your perfect orangery can feel overwhelming if you’re unsure where to start. Our design team are on hand to answer any questions you have and create your perfect living space. Learn more about our orangeries below or visit our showroom for expert help and advice.

What is the difference between a conservatory and an orangery?

What to consider when choosing between a conservatory and orangery.

The main difference between a conservatory and an orangery lies in their design and construction. A conservatory typically features a larger proportion of glass, with walls predominantly made of glass panels and a glass roof, providing an immersive outdoor experience while being sheltered from the elements. It does a great job of blurring the lines between indoor and outdoor spaces. Conservatories offer abundant natural light and a connection to the surrounding environment.

On the other hand, an orangery combines elements of both a traditional brick-built extension and a conservatory. It features more brickwork in its walls. Orangeries offer a balance between solid structure and ample glazing, while still allowing generous natural light to enter the space. Orangeries often have a more substantial and luxurious feel, making them suitable for various uses, including dining rooms, home offices, or even elegant entertaining spaces.

While both conservatories and orangeries offer extra living space and a connection to the outdoors, the key distinction lies in the balance of glass and brick elements in their design, each catering to different architectural preferences and functional needs.

Why should you install an orangery?

There are many perks to installing an orangery in your home.

Installing an orangery is a remarkable choice to elevate your home and living space. The harmonious blend of sturdy construction and expansive glazing sets an orangery apart as a distinctive home extension.

An orangery’s versatile layout, featuring brick or walls alongside large windows and a tiled or glass roof, seamlessly connects indoor and outdoor living. This adaptability makes it an ideal space for various functions like a refined dining area, a productive home office, or an opulent lounge. With better insulation and temperature control compared to a conventional conservatory, an orangery ensures year-round comfort.

Beyond functionality, an orangery creates an air of sophistication and timeless beauty to your home’s architecture. The substantial brickwork and attractive design amplify kerb appeal and potential market value, offering a long-term investment.

What roof should you choose for your orangery?

Find the right style of roof for your orangery.

When choosing the roof for your orangery, you should think about aesthetics, practicality, and comfort. One appealing option is a lantern roof, consisting of a central raised glass panel encircled by smaller glass panels. This configuration floods the space with natural light, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. A lantern roof seamlessly complements both traditional and modern styles, adding an element of refinement.

Alternatively, a flat roof can lend a contemporary elegance. Its sleek design facilitates a smooth transition between the interior and the outdoor area above, an excellent fit for those favouring a modern, minimalist appearance. Incorporating rooflights or skylights maximises natural light too.

Another option is a tiled roof, which merges the durability of traditional roofing with the versatility of an orangery. A tiled roof blends seamlessly with your home’s architecture, offering enhanced insulation and acoustics. It creates a cosy, private feel, making it suitable for various purposes.

Ultimately, your choice of roof should align with your orangery’s purpose, architectural style, and personal taste. Seeking guidance from Clearview’s experts can ensure an informed decision.

Which doors can you add to an orangery?

The best feature doors for your orangery.

Enhance your orangery with a variety of door options that seamlessly fuse style and utility. Bi-folding doors offer a transformative connection between indoors and outdoors by fully folding back, amplifying the sense of space.

Triple track doors provide expansive views and natural light through their wide opening and minimal framing.

Patio doors, available in sliding or hinged styles, bring classic charm and versatile access to your orangery’s surroundings.

For timeless elegance, French doors present an inviting entrance, flooding the space with light.

The choice depends on your preferences, design, and needs, with professional guidance from the Clearview advisors ensuring an ideal match for your vision.

How can you use an orangery?

An orangery is a versatile living space that offers so much flexibility.

An orangery is a versatile addition to any home, offering a variety of uses to enhance both your living space and lifestyle.

Firstly, it can serve as a lounge. Orangeries are ideal for creating a bright and airy sunroom where you can relax, read, or simply enjoy the view. With plenty of natural light, it’s a relaxing space for unwinding.

Alternatively, you can transform your orangery into an elegant dining area. Its unique ambiance allows you to enjoy meals while feeling connected to the outdoors, creating a wonderful dining experience.

Additionally, an orangery can be repurposed as a home office. It offers a peaceful and inspiring workspace where the abundance of natural light can boost productivity, and the connection to nature can reduce stress.

When it comes to socialising, orangeries make for a unique entertainment hub. They provide an inviting space for hosting gatherings, parties, dinners, and special occasions in a stylish and memorable setting.

Your orangery could also serve as a fitness area. We can create a workout space with a view, enabling you to exercise while enjoying the outdoors.

In essence, the versatility of an orangery offers endless possibilities to cater to your specific needs, whether you seek relaxation, entertainment, or functional space, making it a valuable and adaptable addition to your home.

Get to know what to expect at an orangery design consultation.

During your orangery design appointment with Clearview, the experienced advisor will guide you through every step of the process. It’s beneficial to have preliminary measurements of your space, even if they are approximate, although we will assist you for accurate measurements.

Throughout the appointment, you’ll engage in discussions about your ideas, preferences, and specific requirements for your orangery. We are dedicated to gaining a deep understanding of your home and your vision for the new space. This discussion will cover various aspects, including design preferences, intended usage of the orangery, and any unique features you desire.

In addition, the designer will go through potential door and window options, roof selections, hardware choices, and colour finishes. This attention to detail ensures that every element of your orangery is meticulously considered to align with your aesthetic and functional preferences.

Clearview’s advisors will utilise the information gathered during this appointment to craft a customised design tailored precisely to your needs and desires. Once the design is finalised, a skilled installer will visit your property to take precise measurements. This meticulous approach guarantees that the orangery seamlessly integrates into your home, meeting your expectations on every front.
