Discover the perfect orangery design from Yorkshire Windows, tailored to your lifestyle and bringing a whole new dimension to your home in Yorkshire.

Orangery or conservatory – Which is right for you?

An orangery offers the perfect balance of style and function, combining the beauty of a traditional extension with the light and openness of a glazed space. With their stunning glass roofs, orangeries feel bright and airy while remaining cosy and welcoming all year round. Adding an orangery to your home creates the extra space, natural light, and elegant living area you’ve always envisioned, both practical and a joy to use every day.

The toughest part of choosing an orangery? Deciding between a traditional or modern design. But rest assured, there’s no wrong choice.

Orangery Living Space

Why so many homeowners choose an orangery

An orangery is chosen as a stylish and versatile addition to any home, offering outstanding thermal efficiency thanks to its brickwork and solid structure.

This insulation keeps the space comfortable and energy-efficient all year round, whatever the Yorkshire weather throws at you. Modern glazing and optional extras like underfloor heating further enhance an orangery’s practicality.

Security

We offer a full range of high-security locking systems and accessories to ensure that your home will be protected from the threat of break-ins.

Glass

Choose from a range of intelligent glazing options that not only work to control the internal temperature but also include self-clean or easy-clean alternatives.

Lighting

You can add lighting to our orangeries thanks to our clever internal and external features. The internal pelmet provides the perfect place for lighting or you can add patio lights to the outside within the external soffit.

Insulation

Insulated columns and pelmets prevent heat from escaping helping you to maintain a more comfortable temperature inside.

Roof options for orangeries

We offer four distinct roofing options to complement your orangery. Opt for classic traditional tiles, stylish shingle tiles, a timeless lantern roof with high-performance glazing, or a sleek flat roof with skylights for a modern touch.

Glass Roof Orangeries

There’s nothing quite like gazing up at the sky to lift your spirits – enjoy the view morning, noon, and night, all while staying perfectly comfortable. Advances in solar control glazing mean that specialist coatings and tints now work intelligently to retain internal heat while harnessing the sun’s warmth to keep your space cosy. An insulated pelmet can further reduce heat loss—speak to an advisor to learn more.

Built-in weatherproofing technology ensures your orangery stands strong against the elements. For effortless upkeep, consider self-cleaning or easy-clean roof glazing to make maintenance a breeze.

Tiled Roof Orangeries

Orangeries should blend seamlessly into your home, creating a space that feels like a natural extension for everyday use. Yorkshire Windows’ orangeries are designed with this in mind, exceeding expectations in both strength and thermal efficiency for lasting performance. Choose from slate, shingle, or traditional tiles, whichever best complements your home. For extra natural light, consider adding Velux windows or large glass panels to your chosen roof.

A tiled roof is a reliable way to enhance warmth and energy efficiency, keeping the weather from disrupting your comfort. Unlike traditional glass roofs, our advanced solid roof tiles offer exceptional durability and stability, ensuring year-round cosiness.

Solid Roof Orangeries

Glass panels can be seamlessly integrated into your solid roof design, replacing any section and in almost any shape. This allows you to maximise natural light and achieve a sleek, modern look that’s hard to replicate with other orangery roofs. A newly installed solid roof will completely transform your orangery’s interior, enhancing both style and function.

Inside, a solid roof creates a breathtaking vaulted ceiling, complete with an internal pelmet around the perimeter, perfect for incorporating lights or speakers. You can also position or hang lights at the ridge, giving you flexibility in areas where traditional vaulted or suspended ceilings wouldn’t allow.

Lantern Roof Orangeries

Here’s something truly unique! A lantern roof is as striking as they come, giving your orangery a bold, elevated presence in your home. Light pours in from multiple angles, filling the space with energy and creating the illusion of even more room. Featuring ultra-slim glazing bars, Yorkshire Windows’ lantern roofs are designed to be a standout focal point in our orangery designs.

Work closely with your project guide to customise your lantern roof, discussing your preferences for glazing and frame style. A standard feature of our orangeries is thermally efficient solar control glazing, offering a range of benefits to enhance your space.

Contemporary Flat Roof with Skylights

Invite the sky into your orangery with the addition of a sleek, contemporary flat roof, guaranteed to bring warmth, light, and a striking finish. Skylights offer a captivating view from both inside and out, with their crisp lines and tinted glass drawing your attention time and time again. Every flat roof orangery style can feature a skylight, delivering both symmetry and a stunning skyward view.

Yorkshire Windows’ flat roofs are built with top-tier weatherproofing technology, ensuring your orangery is protected from the elements. Make maintenance easier by opting for self-cleaning or easy-clean glazing, keeping your roof looking pristine with minimal effort.

Door options for orangeries

The door style you choose for your Yorkshire Windows orangery depends on how you plan to use the space. Whether you prefer the elegant double opening of French doors, the smooth sliding action of a patio door, or the versatile folding design of bi-fold doors, each option offers practical benefits and enhances the overall look of your orangery.

Orangery French Doors

Good weather in this country comes and goes, so it’s important to make the most of it when it arrives. French doors provide a beautiful opening from your orangery, ensuring you never miss a moment of sunshine. A single door offers easy outdoor access, while opening both creates a wide, airy space – perfect for when you want to let in a fresh breeze.

French doors aren’t just for external use either. They can be installed internally to connect your orangery to the rest of your home while still maintaining a distinct separation between the two spaces.

Orangery Patio Doors

Making the most of your orangery’s space is essential, and patio doors are designed to do just that. Their sliding mechanism moves side to side rather than swinging in or out, allowing you to place furniture close to the doors without obstruction.

Effortless to operate, a gentle push on the handle glides the door smoothly along its stainless-steel runners. The expansive glazed units between the slim frames invite an abundance of natural light into the space. Designed for superior security and thermal efficiency, our patio sliding doors can also be customised to suit your exact requirements.

Orangery Bi-Fold Doors

Lovers of contemporary design will be captivated by bi-folding doors and their unique folding mechanism. Functioning like a concertina, they neatly fold away, opening up almost an entire wall of your orangery for a seamless indoor-outdoor experience.

The effortless movement and smooth folding action must be seen to be believed. A cutting-edge choice, bi-folding doors also offer excellent weather protection and top-tier security. No modern orangery feels truly complete without one, or something equally impressive.

Orangery Door Hardware

Your door handle is more than just a small design feature; it’s a key element of your orangery’s style and functionality. The right handle enhances the character of your doors, tying them seamlessly into the overall aesthetic.

Prioritising security at every stage, Yorkshire Windows has designed its handles with reliable, high-quality components. Speak to a designer for a full breakdown, but here are the key benefits:

  • Self-locking features for enhanced burglar protection.
  • Latchbolts secured to prevent tampering when the door is closed.
  • Ergonomically designed for maximum comfort.

We absolutely love the colour of the windows and doors in our new orangery. It’s completely transformed the space, giving it a sleek, modern feel.

Window options for orangeries

We have three different window collections, each one will bring style, security and energy efficiency to your orangery. Choose from Extreme, Envisage and Eclipse. We’ll give you a quick summary of these collections below but feel free to ask us any questions about what separates the three.

Our Extreme UPVC window collection...

Keep your orangery warmer, quieter, and more secure with the Extreme Windows collection – our market-leading range of UPVC windows. UPVC has all the qualities you’d want in a building material. It’s durable, strong, cost-effective, and delivers outstanding energy efficiency, perfect for those looking to keep energy costs down.

Our Extreme UPVC windows are designed with 9 visible locking points and 2 high-compression hinge bolts, providing three times the protection of a standard window.

White Extreme UPVC Windows

Our Envisage flush UPVC window collection...

Crafted to mirror the timeless charm of early glazed timber windows, our flush casement range features clean, simple lines that suit both traditional and contemporary orangeries. Envisage flush windows preserve the authentic proportions of classic designs, with opening lights that sit flush within the frame, just as they would have in the past.

Beyond their elegant aesthetic, the Envisage collection offers outstanding performance, delivering enhanced security and insulation. Their versatile design makes them the perfect finishing touch for heritage, rustic, or minimalist homes alike.

Envisage Flush Windows

Let your personality shine through by opting for a colour that you love...

Your orangery can be finished in a stunning range of colours to enhance its design and character. While the roof style and frame will help guide the perfect colour choice, you’ll still have an extensive selection of shades and woodgrain finishes to explore, ensuring a look that’s all you.

Our Eclipse aluminium window collection...

Handcrafted right here in the UK, our Eclipse window collection is made from premium aluminium, making them incredibly strong. Because aluminium is so strong it can be moulded to be very slim, and the skinnier frames mean more glass and a wider view. Built to endure the harshest of the British weather, these windows offer exceptional durability.

Eclipse Aluminium Windows

It’s our powder-coating process that brings out our aluminium finishes...

We frequently get customers asking how we achieve the high quality of our aluminium finishes, and it all comes down to our 11-stage powder-coating procedure. This meticulous process ensures a flawless finish on each aluminium frame. As for our woodgrain options, they’re created using the sublimation method and are available in Walnut, Oak, and Rosewood – so realistic, you’d think they were actual wood-based finishes.

Handles, crafted with care...

At Yorkshire Windows, we’re fortunate to have exceptionally skilled craftspeople who put great attention to detail into every handle they create. Whether traditional or contemporary in style, the craftsmanship and precision in each one is inspiring.

A traditional orangery or a contemporary orangery?

Here at Yorkshire Windows, we love to give Yorkshire homeowners a lot of choice when it comes to improving their homes. If you would like a cost-effective orangery that captures the essence of traditional design, ask our team about our contemporary orangeries. They feature the solid brick structure typically associated with traditional orangeries and have a similar interior feel.

The key difference is that a contemporary orangery doesn’t have a flat perimeter around the roof. Instead, it creates a stunning, open space that you’ll love using again and again.

Achieve the look you always admired

Our modern glass roof features intelligent glazing, ensuring excellent thermal control throughout the year. This means your orangery will always stay at a comfortable temperature, making it a space you can enjoy no matter the season.
