What is the difference between a conservatory and an orangery?

Conservatories 

  • Maximum natural light — conservatories are predominantly glazed, allowing sunlight to flood the space throughout the day.

  • Panoramic garden views — large glass panels create a seamless connection between your home and garden.

  • Cost‑effective home extension — typically more affordable than orangeries due to simpler construction and higher glass‑to‑brick ratio.

  • Versatile design options — available in Victorian, Edwardian, lean‑to, gable and bespoke styles to suit any property.

  • Quick installation — conservatories often fall under permitted development, reducing planning delays.

  • Bright, airy atmosphere — ideal for sunrooms, relaxation spaces or garden rooms.

  • Modern thermal upgrades — with solid roofs, insulated bases and high‑performance glazing, conservatories can be used comfortably all year round.

Orangeries 

  • Solid, substantial structure — brick pillars and solid walls create a room‑like feel that blends naturally with your home.

  • Elegant lantern roof — the central glass lantern provides controlled natural light without excessive glare.

  • Superior insulation — the mix of brickwork and advanced glazing offers excellent thermal performance for year‑round use.

  • Premium architectural appearance — orangeries add a high‑end, extension‑like aesthetic that enhances property value.

  • Ideal for multi‑use living spaces — perfect for dining rooms, lounges, home offices or open‑plan living areas.

  • Better integration with period homes — the traditional design suits York’s older and character properties exceptionally well.

  • Increased privacy — solid walls reduce visibility from neighbouring properties compared to fully glazed conservatories.

    This stage ensures your new conservatory or orangery is designed correctly from the very start.

Frequently Asked Questions – Conservatories & Orangeries

A conservatory is mostly glass, designed to maximise natural light and garden views. An orangery has more brickwork, a flat roof and a central lantern, giving it a more solid, extension‑like feel. If you want a bright garden room, choose a conservatory. If you want a premium living space that blends with your home, an orangery is ideal.

Many conservatories fall under permitted development, meaning planning permission isn’t always required. Orangeries, due to their solid structure, may require approval depending on size and location. DD Windows York will guide you through all planning considerations during your survey.

A conservatory typically takes 2–4 weeks to build, depending on size and roof type. Orangeries usually take 4–8 weeks because of the additional brickwork and structural elements. We provide a clear timeline before work begins.
