What’s the difference between an orangery and a conservatory?
An orangery features brickwork and a solid roof structure, offering better insulation and a more integrated feel with your home. A conservatory, on the other hand, typically has full glazing and a lightweight frame, providing a sunroom-like experience. Orangeries offer a balance of durability, insulation, and light, making them ideal for living spaces used all year round.
