What is the difference between a conservatory and an orangery?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The biggest difference between an orangery extension and a conservatory is that orangeries are more substantial structures (a mid-way point between a conservatory and an extension) because they\u2019re built out of brick pillars and have a solid roof.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Though both are designed as glass-wall extensions for your home, conservatories tend to be made entirely of glass (including a glass roof) whilst orangeries are partially made of brickwork and have a central glass roof lantern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As well as this, orangeries tend to be used more widely as living spaces (such as dining rooms and offices), whilst conservatories are better equipped as relaxation areas and sunrooms. This is because conservatories aren\u2019t as good at regulating temperature, meaning they tend to be cold in the winter and hot in the summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lastly, conservatories are more affordable than orangeries, and can sometimes be built without obtaining permission. Orangeries, on the other hand, are more likely to require permits before you can get one installed. Check out our planning permission guide<\/a> for more information. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both conservatories and orangeries have a lot of pros (as well as some cons), but which you choose will depend on your preferences, and what you need your new space for. Your budget will also play a role, as orangeries tend to cost more to install than conservatories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
