Ever wondered about the different types of conservatories?

We’ve put together a ‘conservatory guide’ to outline the types of conservatories.

Lean to

The lean to is a very popular, simple design with a sloped flat roof. Lean to’s can come in different sizes and can be made with floor to ceiling glass panels. This style of conservatory has a more square shape and can therefore be more practical when making the most of the shape and utilising the space with furnishings and decoration.

Edwardian/Georgian

Edwardian conservatories are similar to Victorian, although often less ornate, they typically have a pitched roof of around 20-35°.They can be built with either a brick dwarf-wall, with floor to ceiling glass, or full height frames with solid uPVC panels at the bottom. These often have a more square shape to them, similar to lean to conservatories, making utilising floor space much easier.

Victorian

Victorian conservatories are a popular choice for larger conservatories. They feature a vaulted roof with a ridgeline, and 3-5 sides in a bay shape at the front. These designs can be ornately decorated and often have a dwarf brick wall, but can be built with full height glass. The rounded shape created by the bay shaped front allows homeowners to create an extension to their home with character. 

Gable

A gable conservatory is a conservatory where the front of the roof stays upright, like a gable end of a house, rather than sloping to the centre of the conservatory. These conservatories are normally either square or rectangular and the gable end feature enables homeowners to maximise the height of the room.

P-Shape/L-Shape

These conservatories are a combination of lean-to conservatories and either Edwardian or Victorian conservatories. These are perfect for homeowners hoping for a large addition to their home and offer a lot of practical space.

Green Space Insulating Panels

Our Insulating panels are made bespoke to each conservatory, meaning that we can install our panels to any shape and size! We simply measure the roof panels currently in the conservatory, create panels to fit, and then replace the roof, slotting our existing panels into the existing framework!
