When the family contacted us, their old timber conservatory in Colchester had sadly seen better days. A charming relic of the house’s original design, it had become unusable with years of wear and tear. Leaks, rot, and an icy chill had long since made it unfit for modern family life. The dream? A bright, warm, and versatile orangery extension that looked stunning and finally reclaimed their much-needed space.
Lucky for us, this family came prepared with a vision. After thoroughly researching their options before reaching out, they had their minds set on an Ultraframe LivinRoof extension. We guided them through different possibilities, and together we found the perfect solution. The winner? A beautiful gable LivinRoof design that extended from the footprint of their old conservatory. To tie everything together with their home's existing look, we suggested elegant light oak frames to complement their home’s windows.
This wasn’t just any extension project. This orangery in Colchester was tailor-made to provide comfort, style, and practicality. Thanks to the LivinRoof system’s solid roof design and exceptional thermal performance (with an industry-leading value of 0.15!), the family can now enjoy their space comfortably all year round. Sweltering summer heatwaves? Icy winter mornings? No problem!
To keep the space flooded with natural light, the roof features two Ambi Blue Sunshade glass panels. These clever panels not only reduce glare but stay sparkling clean with minimal effort. Large low iron glass windows wrap around the orangery, meaning sunlight continues to pour into the home while offering crystal-clear clarity.
Fully plastered, wired with plug sockets, and fitted with downlighters to set the mood, the space seamlessly flows into the main house. This open-plan layout creates the ultimate entertaining area, perfect for hosting social gatherings or simply enjoying some much-needed family downtime.
Every element of this build was chosen with care to guarantee high-performance and long-lasting results. Here’s the rundown of the top-tier materials we used for the Colchester project:
This bespoke orangery extension has completely transformed the family’s home in Colchester, blending style, functionality, and comfort. From a cold, unusable conservatory to a bright, inviting living area, this project has truly breathed new life into their property.
