Extensions such as orangeries are becoming more and more popular so it’s no surprise that many are choosing to install them in their homes. Read on to find out more.

Investing In Your Property Instead of Upsizing

Moving home is one of the most stressful processes for homeowners, which puts people off looking for a new property when they find that their current home lacks the space that they need. Building an extension allows you to increase the overall size of your home and also can increase the overall value of your home. When it’s time when you do need to purchase a new home, you will gain more from your current property with an orangery installed, which may even allow more options when looking to buy your next home.

Modern Orangeries Are Highly Insulated

One of the biggest concerns in the past was that extensions were too hot in the summer and too cold in the winter. This meant that extensions couldn’t be enjoyed all year round and couldn’t be used as effective living spaces. Modern insulation ensures that you can use your new orangery all year round and choose the function of your extension. You can change up the use of your orangery with a wide range of different functions. From a new dining room to a kitchen or living room, you can use your orangery all year round.

Orangey Extensions Are Built To Last

UPVC orangeries typically have a lifespan of 20 years or more, with bespoke timber orangeries lasting typically 60 years or more. This ensures that your extension will last for many years whilst also increasing the value of your home. It’s also important to maintain your orangery but maintenance is simple and doesn’t hugely differ from the regular maintenance of your home.

• You will need to ensure that you are regularly cleaning your orangery.
• You will need to keep an eye on the presence of pests. Common pests will include pest plants that enjoy moisture as well as red spider mites and whiteflies.
• Ensure that you are regularly checking the guttering and the roof of your orangery extension. Ensure that trees and hedges are trimmed back so that they cannot damage the orangery.

Designing & Building an Orangery Extension

It’s highly important to find a reputable design and building company to install your orangery extension. You should check the reviews of the company as well as review clients online and look at case studies of their work. You can then arrange for quotes and design/install your dream orangery extension.
