Bring the garden into your home and your home into
the garden – courtesy of a well-insulated and
constructed conservatory that retains the heat in
winter and cool in the summer.
VICTORIAN Conservatories
Thanks to its impressive versatility and its
ability to complement most types of property, the
Victorian is
one of the most frequently seen styles of
conservatory. It can be distinguished by its
steeply pitched roof and its use of ornate
detailing along the roof’s centre apex -
(called the ridge). Typically, a Victorian
conservatory will have either 3 or 5 panel front
facets.
The GEORGIAN (Edwardian) Conservatories
Called either the Georgian or Edwardian, this
style of conservatory is similar to the Victorian.
The main difference is that they are flat fronted
where as the Victorian has an angular front.
Representing a perfect
marriage of form and function, they also tend to
be more understated - making them the ideal choice
if you do not wish to detract from the visual
impact of the main property.
GABLE Conservatories
Few conservatories are more imposing or enjoy a
great sense of presence than the Gable. A style
that works especially well with older properties,
these conservatories
have a square floor plan. In addition, and unlike
the Georgian/Edwardian or the Victorian, they also
have a vertical rather than sloping front roof
section, this
maximises the feeling of light and space inside.
'SUNROOMS or LEAN-TO Conservatories
Lean-to conservatories are usually rectangular
with a roof that leans on to the main property
(hence their name).
They have clean, simple lines giving them a
modern, uncomplicated look and making them
suitable for a wide range of house styles. In
particular, they are the ideal choice for
bungalows or other homes where the roof has low
eaves. Lean-to conservatories are also known as
sunrooms and studio rooms.
COMBINATION (P Shaped) Conservatories
Combination and P-shaped conservatories are
everything their titles suggest. They offer you
more space and greater levels of flexibility by
combining two styles – such as the Georgian and
the Lean-to, or by adapting an existing style so
that it can be used in the shape of a ‘P’. Should
you
find that a P-Shape or Combination still does not
provide the unique design solution you are looking
for, Hawthorns
can also create a totally bespoke conservatory
tailored to your own specific needs.
LATTERN Conservatories
Lantern conservatories are a majestic and
memorable choice for larger conservatories. Not
only do they add a
feeling of height to the overall structure, but
the use of glass rather than polycarbonate
increases light levels
and gives you an unhindered view of the sky above.
