Customising your roof design

The roof is one of the most defining features of an orangery that provides aesthetic appeal and practical benefits. One of the most popular roof options, the orangery roof lantern creates a stunning focal point that floods the room with natural light. This elevated style not only adds height and space but also brings a sense of grandeur to both traditional and contemporary orangeries. 

For a more minimalist look, integrated roof lights provide a sleek and subtle design. Rooflights allow natural light to filter in without compromising the clean, contemporary lines of the flat roof, perfect for homes with a modern aesthetic.

To help you choose the best option, we’ll work closely with you during the design process and provide expert advice on which roof style will best suit your needs and home style. From maximising light to ensuring year-round energy efficiency, we’ll tailor every aspect of your orangery roof to match your vision and lifestyle.

Orangery FAQs

The main difference between a conservatory and an orangery lies in their structure and appearance. A conservatory is typically made with a high proportion of glass, including a fully glazed roof, giving it a light and airy feel. In contrast, an orangery features a mix of glass and solid elements, such as brick pillars or walls, with a flat roof and a central roof lantern. Orangeries tend to feel more like an extension of the home with a solid structure, while conservatories have more of a garden-room aesthetic.

Generally, an orangery is more cost-effective than a full house extension. The cost can vary depending on factors like size, materials and customisation options, but orangeries are usually cheaper because they involve less extensive building work.

The name “orangery” comes from the original purpose of these buildings as a place to protect orange from the cold. Orangeries originated in the 17th century when they were used to grow citrus trees, particularly oranges, during the colder months. Wealthy homeowners built these structures with large windows and roof lanterns to allow sunlight in, creating a warm environment for the plants.

In many cases, an orangery can be built without planning permission under Permitted Development Rights. This means it has to adhere to specific regulations regarding size, height, and proximity to boundaries. However, if your property is listed or in a conservation area, or if the orangery exceeds certain limits, you may need to apply for planning permission. It’s always best to check with your local authority to ensure compliance.

A well-built orangery can last for several decades depending on the materials used and how well it is maintained. High-quality materials, such as aluminium and premium UPVC combined with high-performance glazing will help extend the lifespan of your orangery especially when coupled with proper care and maintenance.

Contrary to popular belief, well-built orangeries do not get cold in winter. Modern orangeries use insulated brick columns or walls, high-performance roof lanterns and energy-efficient glazing to retain warmth. These features, along with things like underfloor heating can ensure your orangery extension stays warm and cosy all year round.

Yes, orangeries can be highly energy-efficient when designed with the right materials and features. Insulated columns, thermal-efficient glazing, and high-performance roofing systems all help to retain heat during winter and keep the space cool during summer. Orangeries by RB Windows are built to meet or exceed current energy efficiency standards, making them a comfortable and cost-effective addition to your home year-round.
