Get Ready For The Summer With An Orangery

Now that the winter has passed get ready for the summer with a beautiful orangery. If you are looking for a perfect retreat to get away from the stresses of the outside world, an orangery is a fantastic choice that can bring real value to your home not to mention a touch of class.

You can get an orangery in a preset design from the centuries in which they originated from e.g. 17^th, 18^th and 19^th centuries. They were and still are extremely fashionable as combined living rooms and greenhouses, as the name suggests, they were originally used to grow citrus trees through the winter. Types of Orangeries that are available include the Versailles orangery, Margam orangery, Kensington orangery and the Blenheim orangery.

If you find that you don’t like the design of the preset orangery designs you can opt for one that is tailor made to suit all of your needs and expectations. The orangery will be designed so that you are able to use it for the exact purpose you intend to use it for.  If you are looking to buy an orangery but you are unsure on what to get shop around online so that you become familiar with the designs that are available on the market. Try to find a number of honest suppliers so that you can compare prices and find something perfect for you. Once you have found a supplier you are happy with you will be able to discuss with the designers exactly what you want.

 

Another factor that people struggle with when it comes to Orangeries is what sort of glass to use. There are a range of different types of glass you can use for your orangery including double glazing and self cleaning glass. Again research the different types of glass so that you can decide what would be best for you. Once you have figured out the design of your conservatory and the type of glass you want to use you can begin to prepare yourself for the summer. Use your orangery for a range of activities including summer night parties and lazy days in the sun to top up your tan. The orangery is a perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

Why not add some bi-folding doors to your orangery in order to make it even more functional. The doors will also give the orangery a classier and more attractive look. The doors provide greater flexibility to your home as they enable you to open up the orangery, this creates an aperture to your garden, patio or decking where you can enjoy family barbecues, great parties and lazy days at home.

Remember to keep in mind that the summer months do come to an end and you will soon be preparing for the winter. Orangeries can be extremely cold in the winter if the proper precautions aren’t taken. Prepare yourself properly by having things such as under floor heating installed and double glazed windows. This will allow you to use the orangery all year round no matter what the weather has in store for us.
