With
The Window Centre
Conservatories you enjoy an impressive degree of design freedom. From
the ornate to the minimalist, the classical to the contemporary, we can
help you create a conservatory that perfectly suits both your home and
your individual tastes. Many conservatory designs reflect those of the late 19th and 20th
century allowing you not only to match the style of many older buildings but also to add
character to newer developments. Below are a few of the most popular styles but with our
bespoke service if you design it we can normally build it.

| A Victorian
conservatory is one of the most popular
conservatory styles and it's not hard to see why. Inspired by an era when Gothic style
architecture, complete with ornate crestings and finials, saw a romantic renaissance.
These conservatories are as versatile as they are engaging. Not only do they have the
ability to complement almost any type of property, they can also be readily adapted to
suit whatever space is available - whether that's a large garden or a small patio area. 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, Victorian conservatories have 3 or 5
panel facets.

A modern interpretation of a regal age in British
architectural history, Edwardian conservatories (sometimes called Georgian) are typically
characterised by their square or rectangular footprint, This in turn means they are
incredibly space efficient - allowing you to enjoy the maximum possible floor area.
However don't think for a second that it's all about function. With Edwardian
conservatories, you'll find form in abundance too, thanks to their imposing nature and
widespread use of design flourishes such as elaborate crestings and detailed moulding.
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.

| Few conservatories are more imposing or enjoy a
great sense of presence than the Gable conservatory. 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.
Reminiscent of the grand orangeries and classical conservatories of yesteryear, this type of conservatory enjoys an imposing front elevation with the windows extending to the apex of the roof.
If you're looking for a conservatory that takes your breath away every time you look at it, then this is definitely the style for you!

Sunrooms
or 'Lean-to' conservatories are usually rectangular with a roof
that leans on to the main property. 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. Sometimes referred to as a
Mediterranean, or Studio room,
this style enjoys crisp, clean lines and has
a truly modern feel. Minimalism has never
been more exciting.

| Lantern roof
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.
Lantern roofs are the perfect finishing touch to any large conservatory. Formed by a second tier of windows to the main roof, Lanterns add height and presence to the overall construction.
More than that, they also help to increase the feeling of interior space. The second tier of windows can also incorporate openers to increase ventilation as well as decorative glazing panels for the ultimate in aesthetic appeal.

Bespoke and Combination 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 Sunroom - or by adapting an existing style so
that it can be used in the shape of a 'P'. This gives you two distinctive areas which can be used however your heart desires - maybe using one for dining and the other for relaxing.
Other widely used combination styles
include T-Shaped and B-Shaped.
The choice - and the flexibility - is yours. There's no denying that
our range of conservatories can be used in the most popular shapes and styles, but what if you want a conservatory design that's unique to you? A style that's outside of those mentioned so far? No problem,
we has the ability to produce totally bespoke conservatories based on your own particular needs and designs - whether that's a particular large span construction or a conservatory that's based on unusual dimensions due to the nature of the site. Simply ask your sales advisor and if we can realise your dream... we will.
