Classic Orangery Home Extension

Stunning Orangeries & Roof Lanterns

We’re often asked, ‘what is an orangery?’ or ‘how’s an orangery different to a traditional conservatory?’ Ultraframe orangeries come in a range of traditional and contemporary designs to suit your home. With each of our orangeries, you will find impressively high ceilings to maximise space, thick pillars that provide both grandeur and privacy.

Orangery Sky Lanterns & Replacement Glazing

Most orangeries contain a roof lantern. We install the stylish Ultrasky lantern in Colchester, Essex homes. It’s perfect for any size and is easy to install. The Ultrasky Lantern uses bespoke double glazed roof panels. High-quality double glazing is one of the benefits of an orangery by Spectrum. You can also choose between uPVC or slimline aluminium frames. Installing this roof lantern creates a space you can use all year round. It also makes your single story extension much cheaper to heat.

Use Your Orangery All Year Round

Spectrums roof lantern components are all manufactured in the U.K.. We use AmbiGlass & Smartglass in our roof lanterns. Smartglass is available in four different tints, is self-cleaning and heat retentive. An energy-efficient roof is the most important aspect of installing an orangery. As heat rises, an extension loses warmth through the roof lantern glass. So installing an efficient roof lantern is a priority when considering orangery designs.

Thermal efficiency works both ways. During warm summers, the heat retentive roof glass makes sure that your new extension doesn’t get too hot. It does this by reflecting heat away from your orangery conservatory roof. This makes the temperature much more consistent than a traditional conservatory.

Heating a conservatory in winter can be a daunting task. There are options to adjust aspects of an existing orangery. For example, you can install roof blinds or underfloor heating. However, the results are always mixed and are usually pricey. If you have an older conservatory in your home, a replacement roof may be the solution. This way, you can create that coveted ‘all year round’ extension.
