Are you looking to extend your home in 2024, but need help determining which extension option would be best for your property? Conservatories and orangeries both add value to your property and your lifestyle, as they open up more space within your home whilst also enhancing your property’s natural light.
This article will discuss the differences between a conservatory and an orangery, as well as the conservatory and orangery options we offer here at Carera Windows.

What are the main differences between a conservatory and an orangery?
The most significant difference between an orangery and a conservatory is the roof style used. Conservatories tend to be fitted with glass roof panels, whereas orangeries tend to have a more solid roof structure with the addition of a roof lantern or flat roof lights for added natural light.
Another difference between conservatories and orangeries is the amount of glass within the building structure itself. Conservatories tend to have more glass than orangeries, as orangeries are built as an extension of the property rather than an addition. Orangeries also tend to be built with more brickwork than a conservatory, as the walls tend to be solid compared to glass conservatories.
Another difference between a conservatory and an orangery is the price point. Orangery prices tend to be higher than that of a conservatory, as they tend to be larger, more structurally built and take longer to build. Conservatories tend to be a cost-effective alternative to orangeries, as they also provide more space within your property. However, they are usually smaller and less time-consuming to build.
uPVC Conservatories
Conservatories are the perfect option for homeowners looking to create a seamless transition from their home to garden. They can be used as a sunroom, sitting area or work-from-home space, and they open up your home to an abundance of natural sunlight as they are mostly glass.
Here at Carera Windows, we offer a range of uPVC conservatory options, so you can confidently choose Carera Windows with the knowledge that you will receive the home improvement product that you have been dreaming of.
uPVC is an excellent option for busy homeowners who are looking for a low-maintenance, weatherproof conservatory for their home. uPVC and glass are easily cleaned with a damp cloth and soapy water, so you do not need to be concerned with hours of maintenance to make your conservatory look as good as it did on the day it was installed. uPVC is also weatherproof against adverse weather conditions, so, unlike traditional timber frames, your new conservatory will not leak, rot or warp when exposed to heavy rain. Our uPVC conservatories are also fitted with deeper drainage channels and are shaped to avoid water pooling, so you should not suffer from dampness within your new conservatory.
Our conservatories are also secure, due to the locking mechanisms we install into the windows and doors fitted into your conservatory, so you can rest assured that your property and belongings will be kept safe from forced entry from intruders.
We offer a range of conservatories for your home, so you can choose the conservatory that best suits your needs and your property design. We offer Victorian conservatories, Edwardian conservatories, Lantern conservatories, Lean-To conservatories and Gable conservatories, so you can be sure that Carera Windows have the perfect uPVC conservatory option for you.
uPVC conservatories’ prices differ depending on the style, design, build, and hardware options you choose for your new conservatory. If you are looking for conservatory quotes, contact the team at Carera Windows or start your online free quote now.
Orangeries
Orangeries create an elegant functional space within your home, that you can extend your kitchen into or use as a dining area. Due to the solid design of orangeries, they may be considered as more of an extension of the home than an addition to the house, and the build of the orangeries we provide at Carera Windows can be designed to look as if they were built at the same time as the original property itself.
Here at Carera Windows, we offer a variety of orangery options for your property. Benefit from exceptional thermal and energy performance, improved functionality within your home and year-round comfort with our orangeries.
Our orangeries are fitted with Profile 22 frames, which provide a modern appearance and high security and thermal performance, so you can confidently choose Carera Windows with the understanding that your home will benefit not only from improved performance but also enhanced security.
Our orangeries can also be tailored to your aesthetic and needs, so you can be sure that the orangery you have installed is the perfect fit for your property. Get in touch with the team for a quote for your orangery project today.
