Although orangeries are often confused with their close relative, the conservatory, orangeries can offer a more diverse benefit to your Somerset home depending on what you value.
Did You Know? Orangeries have a fascinating history and actually started life as a status symbol for the British aristocracy in the 17th Century. In winter lime, orange and lemon trees were moved into the orangery in order to shelter them from the harsh English winters and frosts. Later they moved from standalone structures to an interesting and welcome addition to the home.
At Notaro Windows we have great depth of knowledge and experience building orangeries in Somerset for our customers. Take a look at the numerous benefits of orangeries that you could take advantage of below.
Sturdiness
Orangeries have thicker foundations than their conservatory counterpart. Rather than the typical uPVC conservatories in Somerset or glass from the ground up, the orangery normally features a brick base. This means that orangeries have a higher standard of durability and weather resistance.
Size
Due to their stronger foundations orangeries can be built to a larger specification, which means more space and light for you! You could also place that dining table you have in a space that it deserves.
Utility
Orangeries have incredibly diverse uses far exceeding the conservatory. They can be used as kitchens and dining rooms due to the natural light, view and thicker walls. Appliances, lights and other electronics can be easily integrated within an orangery so there’s no need to worry – you can treat it like any other room in the house. Step aside extra lounge, there are more important things to have!
