If you’re thinking of opting for an orangery, then you may be wondering which type to choose. After all, with many styles and designs to choose from, it can be difficult to know what type of orangery will suit your property.
That’s where bespoke orangeries come in! With these custom-made spaces, rather than trying to shoehorn a default design into your home, with bespoke, you can tailor it to suit your home perfectly.
In this post we’ll go over the benefits of bespoke, in particular for older properties, to help point you in the right direction.
More Natural Light
Many older properties suffer from low levels of natural light. This can make a home uninviting and dull, and poor lighting can also affect mood and energy levels.
With an orangery, the glass roof can make all the difference in the world to your home’s natural light. This can transform the aesthetic of your space, while allowing you to soak up some energising vitamin D!
When it comes to choosing the roof of your orangery, this can make all the difference to the amount of light. So if you have a particularly dark home and you want to maximise your roof to allow as much light in as possible, going bespoke will allow you to choose the one that’s right for you.
Extra Insulation
If you own a particularly old property, it may suffer from poor insulation. And with energy prices still sky-high, chances are you’ll want to keep your costs as low as possible.
This is another area where orangeries can excel. Although some may require cooling in the summer and heating in the winter which can increase your bills, by choosing the right components, you can turn your orangery into an energy-saving haven!
When energy efficiency is top of your priorities, the type of heating/cooling systems, roofing and glazing you choose is crucial.
For instance, if you’re worried about your space being cold, triple glazing can help retain heat. Likewise, underfloor heating can keep costs down by delivering even, efficient warmth.
Choosing a bespoke orangery gives you full control over all this, so if your old property isn’t the best when it comes to retaining warmth then a custom orangery could help.
Better Noise Reduction
Many people opt for orangeries or conservatories because they want a place to relax and unwind while they take in the beauty of their garden. However, if your property is ageing and the insulation isn’t the best, chances are your afternoon relaxation will be interrupted by outside noise!
As pointed out above, how your orangery is built will have a massive bearing on its insulation. This includes its ability to block out external noise.
So if you want to ensure you get to enjoy your space without being distracted by traffic or your neighbours’ music, a bespoke package can help you build the ideal space.
Matching Aesthetic
Last but not least, by opting for a bespoke design, you can tailor your orangery to perfectly match your home.
Many older properties have traditional features and, in some cases, it can be difficult to find a pre-designed orangery that perfectly matches a house’s appearance.
This is where a custom-designed package works so well. You can choose every aspect of your orangery to suit the style and ambience of your property to make it feel like an extension to your home rather than an additional space stuck on the side!
So those are the main reasons why an older property would benefit from a bespoke package when choosing an orangery. As well as allowing you to match the aesthetic, you can take full control over the design to help you enhance natural light and improve insulation and energy efficiency.
