This bespoke seasoned oak contemporary style orangery includes 3 sets of bi-fold doors and two roof lanterns, providing a greater sense of space and natural light whilst truly letting the outdoors in.

Richmond Oak also custom design seasoned oak window frames and doors to meet the particular requirements of a property. Our clients often ask us to manufacture and install these to compliment the features of their new oak glazed extension. The windows are designed with security in mind, inaccessible internal glazing beads ensure the glass cannot be removed from the outside; providing peace of mind.

An orangery is a structure built as an extension of the living space, in the modern context which is defined by the perimeter flat roof area usually surrounding the glazed lantern roof and tends to have sides defined by corners of non-translucent material such as decorative timber posts or masonry pillars with glazed framing and doors between. An oak roof lantern within an orangery style roof design will enhance the new living space by providing a stunning focal point. An orangery or orangerie was a room or a specialized structure on the grounds of classy homes from the 17th to the 19th centuries where orange as well as other fruit trees were secured during the winter season, as a huge type of greenhouse or conservatory.

On sunny days your conservatory will quickly warm up and when evening falls you can use window blinds to trap the heat inside. Natural heating can be supplemented with underfloor heating; this can be electric underfloor heating, which many people consider to be the most cost-effective, or hot water underfloor heating, plumbed into your central heating system. Like electric underfloor heating this allows you to design the interior of the conservatory without worrying about the positioning and placement of conservatory radiators whether using hot water or electricity to heat them.
