Common questions about orangeries
Thinking about adding an orangery to your home? Orangeries offer the perfect mix of light, style and year-round comfort, giving you a modern, usable room that feels like a true extension. Below are the questions homeowners ask most when deciding if an orangery is right for them.
1. What is an orangery?
An orangery is a solid-walled extension with large windows and a central glazed roof feature, offering a bright, luxurious, room-like space with excellent insulation.
2. How is an orangery different from a conservatory?
Orangeries include more brickwork and a partially solid roof, giving them a warmer, more permanent feel. Conservatories feature more glazing and a lighter, more open structure.
3. Are orangeries warm enough to use all year round?
Yes. With insulated walls, high-performance glazing and modern roof systems, orangeries offer excellent thermal efficiency and comfortable temperatures in every season.
4. Do orangeries add value to a home?
Absolutely. Because they feel like a natural extension, orangeries are highly desirable and can increase overall property value and everyday living space.
5. What roof options can I have with an orangery?
You can choose a glass lantern, tiled roof or hybrid design. Each offers different levels of light, insulation and visual impact.
6. Do I need planning permission for an orangery?
Often not, as many orangeries fall under permitted development. 5 Star confirm this during your design appointment and handle any applications if required.
7. How long does an orangery take to build?
Most orangeries take several weeks depending on size, roof type and internal finishes. 5 Star provide a clear, realistic timeline before work begins.
8. Can I customise the design?
Yes. Everything from roof style and glazing to frames, colours, doors, lighting and interior finishes can be tailored to suit your home and lifestyle.
