Conservatory Glass Allows For Natural Light and Views

One of the most significant advantages of a glass conservatory is the abundance of natural light it brings into your home. Conservatory glass is top quality, and fashioned into large glass panels allow sunlight to flood the space, creating a bright and inviting atmosphere. Natural light has numerous benefits, including boosting mood, increasing productivity and improving overall well-being, as well as encouraging plant growth! 

Additionally, a glass conservatory provides panoramic views of your garden or surrounding landscape, allowing you to connect with nature and enjoy your surroundings.

Glazed Extensions Offer Versatility and Flexibility

A glazed conservatory offers endless possibilities when it comes to its use. It can serve as a versatile space that can be adapted to suit your needs and preferences. Whether you want to create a home office, a playroom for the kids, a dining area or a relaxation space, a glass conservatory provides the flexibility to transform it into any room you desire. 

You can easily change the furniture, décor and layout to accommodate different activities and occasions.

Increased Living Space

If you’re looking to expand your living space without the need for a full house extension, a glass conservatory is the perfect solution. It provides an additional room that seamlessly blends with your existing home, creating a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor living. Whether you need extra space for entertaining guests, a quiet retreat, or a place to indulge in your hobbies, these conservatories offers the perfect extension to your living area.

Energy Efficiency

Modern conservatory glass options have come a long way in terms of thermal efficiency. Double glazed insulated glass is now the standard, offering excellent insulation properties that help to regulate the temperature inside the conservatory. This means that you can enjoy your glass conservatory all year round, regardless of the weather outside. The insulated conservatory glass helps to keep the space warm in the winter and cool in the summer, reducing your reliance on heating and cooling systems and ultimately saving you money on energy bills.

Increased Property Value

A well-designed and professionally installed glass conservatory can significantly increase the value of your property. It adds an attractive feature that appeals to potential buyers and can set your home apart from others on the market. A glazed conservatory is seen as a desirable addition that offers additional living space and enhances the overall aesthetics of the property. It can be a selling point that attracts potential buyers and helps you achieve a higher sale price.

Different styles of glazed conservatory

There are many styles of conservatory to choose from. To help you distinguish, here’s an overview of the different conservatory styles we offer.

Edwardian Conservatory:

  • Features a rectangular or square shape which maximizes space.
  • Has a flat front and a ridged roof that usually slopes upward from all sides, known as a hip roof.
  • Characterised by its simplistic and elegant design with strong, bold lines.

Victorian Conservatory:

  • Recognisable by its steeply pitched roof and its bay front with multiple facets.
  • Often features ornate detailing in the roof and finials at the apex.
  • Typically has a rounded appearance, which makes it ideal for classical homes.

Apex Conservatory:

  • Named for its high, central apex in the roof, creating a point which is higher than the sides.
  • Often designed with a rectangular base and a vaulted roof, enhancing the feeling of space and height.
  • Provides a dramatic and spacious interior, often with additional windows at the apex for extra light.

P-shaped Conservatory:

  • Combines the styles of two different conservatories, typically Victorian and Lean-to, in a plan that looks like the letter “P”.
  • Ideal for larger spaces as it can cover a larger area and can be customised according to specific layouts.
  • Offers versatile living space that can be divided into two separate zones, like dining and lounging areas.

Lean-to Conservatory:

  • Also known as a sunroom or garden room.
  • Features a simple and straightforward design with a single-sloped roof attached to the main property.
  • Generally the most cost-effective and compact option, suitable for smaller spaces or lower budgets.
  • Allows for maximum sunlight entry with minimal structure and is easy to fit against most types of homes.

  • ​Steve Holdsworth embarked on his journey in the glazing industry in 1978 as an apprentice glazier within a three-person team. Demonstrating dedication and skill, he quickly advanced to lead his own team, focusing on aluminium and timber installations, as well as sealed unit replacements—a period when UPVC was still emerging in the U.K. In 1980, Steve briefly shifted to manufacturing sealed units but returned to his passion for window and door fitting in 1981. Over the next 13 years, he honed his expertise, adapting seamlessly as UPVC became the industry standard.​ Steve joined Coral Windows in 1994, expanding his repertoire to include conservatory installations alongside windows and doors. In 2005, Steve joined a fabrication facility in Freeport, Grand Bahama Island, where he dedicated 15 months, training local workers who were accustomed to aluminium on the nuances of UPVC window and door installations.​ Upon returning to the UK in 2006, Steve returned to Coral windows and assumed the role of Conservatory Manager, a position he held for six years before being promoted to Head of Installations in 2012. In 2015, after recovering from a stroke, Steve resumed his role as Conservatory Manager, a testament to his resilience and commitment to the company.​ Steve has a passion for music, mainly creating new songs via various apps, he has had 5 songs played on the radio in the U.K. Reflecting on his 47-year career, Steve remarks on the swift passage of time and the continuous advancements in the glazing industry, emphasising that every day remains an opportunity for learning.
