Various creative options to help make your additional space more unique
Do you find yourself struggling to make the most of your orangery or garden room this summer? Whilst other homeowners may just see such an extension as an additional space in which to reside in every now and then, we understand that orangeries have the potential to be so much more with various unique and inventive design options and avenues available to explore!
Let Win-Dor give you the inspiration required, with 5 original ideas for your orangery or garden room!
1.Patio or bifold doors that continue large light entry
Although a fairly obvious addition to any budding home designer’s orangery or garden room, you’d be surprised at how many extensions fail to make the most of natural light entry through the simple yet effective implementation of patio or bi-fold doors. Either of these high performance styles are great for enhancing the atmosphere of your orangery, purely due to their generously large glass surface area which ensures Vitamin D levels are never too far away!
Combine this fantastic large light entry with very low thresholds and smooth operation, homeowners who want to feel closer to the natural beauty of their garden won’t find themselves struggling any longer.
2.Lantern roof or Skylight for increased sense of height
Because Orangeries traditionally are made up of a lot of brickwork, some often struggle to enjoy the sense of light that they would traditionally receive with the surrounding glazing featured in a conservatory. Incorporating a steeply pitched lantern roof or skylight successfully resolves this issue whilst simultaneously treating homeowners to an increased sense of height.
Constructed from lightweight aluminium, light will be able to enter from all angles thanks to a large glass surface area and multiple facets that make the best use of space. What’s more, it doesn’t matter if your home’s orangery/garden room is traditional or contemporary in style, every style of home can enjoy its benefits.
3.Tiled roofing for seamless merge with the home
Believe it or not, not every extension’s roof no longer needs to be polycarbonate as standard. If you want to ensure that your orangery or garden room merges seamlessly with the existing visual style of your property, a solid/tiled roof might just be the answer! Not only does this help to retain a sense of privacy a polycarbonate or glazed roof cannot, but homeowners will enjoy increased comfort thanks to better heat insulation and energy efficiency also.
When opting for a solid tiled roof from Win-Dor specifically, homeowners can benefit knowing that all of our solid roof tiles are 100% recycled from other sources, still allowing for a fantastic choice of colours to never impede on your home’s personality. Choosing a solid roof for your existing or newly installed orangery or garden room instantly makes for a contemporary look, transforming the traditional glazed style you’d usually find.
4.Timber cladding for outstanding thermal efficiency
Acting as a welcome alternative to traditional facing brick or render, timber cladding is a very unique style choice not commonly seen in most orangeries that actually is an effective choice, offering designers a unique blend of practical, stylistic and environmental advantages. Suitable for both new build and renovation projects, timber cladding provides outstanding thermal and acoustic insulation that renders any orangery or garden room usable throughout the year and not just in summer.
For those looking to reduce their home’s carbon footprint, you can rest easy knowing that as a natural material, timber is a renewable resource that makes it highly sustainable. It requires less energy to produce than uPVC or timber, making a great all round material that is not only ideal for design innovation but for the environment also.
5.Livin Room for contemporary living
Acting as the best way to encapsulate the best of both worlds, successfully combining the light and sky of a conservatory with the walls and ceiling of an extension, a livin room orangery unquestionably the best solution for those wanting a room that feels like a natural part of the home. High performance cavity walling that allows for many interior as well as exterior personalisation options, a livin room truly allows homeowners to stamp their mark on the living space.
