Conservatories, Orangeries, and Summer Houses: Functions


These rooms and small structures are popular in colder or temperate climate countries like New Zealand, Australia, Canada, the United Kingdom and most of Europe, and the United States. These rooms serve a variety of purposes, including offices, playrooms, living rooms, entertainment centers, and dining rooms, among other functions.

Conservatories are made of various materials like hardwood, PVC, or glass. The entire framework of a typical conservatory is hardwood, treated soft wood, or PVC and is closed by double-glazed glass panels all throughout. Conservatories come in various designs and sizes and are usually built according to a client's specifications. Various architectural styles include Georgian, Victorian, antique, and classic. Oftentimes, hardwood framing is preferable to PVC because hardwood is durable and ecologically-friendly.

Clients prefer orangeries to conservatories. An orangery is a substantial extension than a conventional conservatory. An orangery is best for certain types of buildings and can even be granted planning permits in a conservation zone. Orangeries are becoming popular and are becoming the preferred alternative for contemporary glazed extensions. Wooden orangeries have a timeless elegance to a place and add aesthetic value.

A summer house is different from a conservatory or orangery, but their functions are basically the same. Summer houses is used as a place for relaxation during the summer or warm weather. A typical summer house is a small, timber, roofed building and is perched on a wooden deck. They can also be built in a park or garden. Summer houses use interlocking tongue and groove timbers, resulting in a secure and strong structure. A typical cabin also has styrene-glazed Georgian doors and windows that allow daylight to filter.

Timber built conservatories, orangeries and summer houses add coziness to properties. A conservatory, orangery, or summer house - more importantly - is a place for recreation and allows its occupants to commune with nature.
