Choosing the right doors and windows for your new orangery




Adding an orangery to your home is a fantastic way to add value and an extra unique living space. An orangery is viewed as a larger extension than a conservatory and is more of a permanent and prominent addition to your home. Not only will it allow light to flood into your home, it also opens up your home to the garden; bringing the outdoors inside.


When choosing your new orangery there will be many things to consider as it will be built bespoke for you.  A key feature will be the Orangery Doors and Windows that you choose. There are many styles, designs and colours to choose from, so it is often difficult to know where to start.


Orangery doors styles include french doors, patio doors and bi-folding doors, but people usually tend to go for french doors or bi-folding doors. The reason for this is that this style of orangery doors will open right up and will maximise the space that you have. With the doors opening right up, especially bi-fold doors, this again helps to bring your garden inside.


Doors are available in aluminium, upvc and timber and come in many different colours so you can choose one that will fit perfectly with your home. Many people choose aluminium doors as they are made from stronger material and tend to be more durable. 


When it comes to choosing your windows for your orangery, again there are many styles and designs on the market. Casement, tilt and turn and sash windows are available, however we always advise our customers to go for casement windows. This keeps the orangery simple and gives it the best look from a design point of view. Sometimes having tilt and turn or sash windows can make an orangery look too complicated and over done.

Windows are available in aluminium, upvc and timber. Again, they come in many different colours so you can choose the one that suits your home the best.When choosing your orangery be sure to ask about the security and locking features. With advanced security engineering, you should have complete peace of mind that your orangery and home will be safe and secure.


When choosing your Orangery Windows and Doors remember to keep the above information in mind and this will help you to design the perfect orangery for you and your home.
