For those of you who are feeling a bit cramped in your current home space, the addition of an orangery or a conservatory might be the perfect answer. Here are a few things to think about when deciding between an orangery and a conservatory.
Difference Between a Conservatory and an Orangery
The biggest difference between these two is how they are constructed. A conservatory is built with a lot of glass windows, plastic, and metal. An orangery is a sturdier addition and is often designed and built to extend the house it is being added to. This means the orangery will use the same exterior materials as the house, such as stone, brick, or wood. This is an attempt to continue the same design to make it look more aesthetically pleasing.
Other differences affordable builders in Fleet want you to know about are:
- Orangeries feature underfloor heating and air conditioning units
- Orangeries are known for their lantern style roof and floor to ceiling pillars
- Conservatives are not meant to be used year-round
Will an Orangery Add Value to My Home?
Technically, both a conservatory and an orangery will add value to your home as long as they are constructed correctly. However, an orangery will add even more value because it can be used year-round as it offers both heating and air conditioning. Another benefit to the orangery is its design and how much natural light it allows in. When built and designed correctly, an orangery can increase the value of your home up to 10%.
