Belgravia Orangery

Buying a bespoke orangery is an exciting time, but there several different things you really need to think about before ordering which you should discuss with an expert orangery design consultant. Consequently we ve put together a selection of possible considerations for you to carefully consider.

The positioning of your new bespoke orangery is one of the most key aspects of the installation process. Should your orangery be east or north facing then it should benefit from the sun early most days and gradually become cooler as the day progresses, whereas on the other hand, a south or west facing orangery extension will attract more light and heat later on during the afternoon and evening. The type of glazing specified for the orangery therefore is often dependent on its actual aspect, so it needs to be mutually agreed at an early stage of the process.

The overall size, style and specification of your orangery will significantly be determined by its intended functionality, as there are multiple options open to UK homeowners in terms of its purpose. If additional floor space is your prime reason for investing in an orangery, then a square or rectangular orangery design is often the best solution, more so than say a five faceted Victorian design that has less floor space. Consider any additional extras you might want to add to your extension, depending on how you intend it to be utilised such as a TV, Wi-Fi, speakers, mounted Spotlights or recessed lighting.

No new orangery can be considered truly complete until all the smaller details have been sorted out, as they can make a significant difference to the overall design. A proper conversation with a dedicated orangery design consultant will determine if items such as fans, lighting and Heaters need to be incorporated into the final quotation so you know from the outset what the overall project is going to cost.

No two Orangeries are identical so it s almost impossible to value two apparently near identical looking designs at the same overall cost. Do bear in mind that some suppliers may utilise contrasting materials of varying quality to be competitive, so the guarantee they provide with more inferior products will not be as reliable as a guarantee that another company who uses better quality products supplies. If an orangery quote provided seems too good to be true then it usually is; and more often than not a cheap price can mean cheap quality.

It is extremely sensible and reasonable for property owners who invest their money in a new orangery to expect long-term value as a well-constructed extension. Do be aware that it is quite common after an orangery installation for there to be some small remedial adjustments needed to safeguard its intended lifespan. This should be stipulated in the terms of guarantee supplied by your chosen home improvement firm so that you re not left open to any potential financial loss, and get the service you paid for over the next decade.
