Voici l'une de nos réalisations, en Stores Anti Chaleur dans une véranda en Isère (38). ☀️ Les clients nous ont contacté, à cause leur problème de chaleur dans leur véranda. A la suite de la visite technique, pour la prise des côtes, nos techniciens sont venus les installer. Il s'agit de 8 stores enrouleurs gris anthracites Anti Chaleur,. Ces derniers se manœuvrent manuellement à l'aide d'une chaînette métallique. De plus, la toile utilisée est microperforée, ce qui permet de garder la vue vers l'extérieur malgré la couleur foncée des stores. Les propriétaires ont aussi choisi d'équiper leur toiture avec un store vélum sur câbles, Anti Chaleur. La manœuvre se fait également manuellement par lanceur, à l'aide d'une perche en aluminium.

The gorgeous sunroom lets in a great amount of light and provides a beautiful view of the yard - this really makes the for the perfect spot for the Spring and Summer. Allows for great visibility into the backyard and provides a space that allows you to enjoy the warmth and shine of sun while still being in an interior space.

Orangery done for a client who wanted extra living space with a lot of light. Orangeries are different from a conservatory as orangeries are becoming more popular and looks more like part of your home rather than it looking like a separate extension. Natural light coming in with the skylight.

Modern Conservatory with a Skylight Ideas and Designs

A conservatory, garden room or orangery is a decidedly British and Irish home extension: a room that allows us to enjoy our outdoor space without having to brave the unpredictable weather. Originally a type of glass house or greenhouse where plants could be grown in sheltered conditions, the modern conservatory now offers flexible entertainment space. Your modern conservatory can serve as an additional living area, a garden room, a spacious dining room or an open-plan kitchen; all flooded with the extra light that a glass extension will give you.

What conservatory style should I choose?

A lean to conservatory is the most straight-forward garden room structure with a slanted roof that appears to lean on the original house wall. If you’re looking for a small conservatory then the simple rectangular design of lean to conservatories makes them ideal for bungalows and properties with small gardens. The Victorian conservatory is the most common style, with an elegant shape which features a rounded end wall. An Edwardian conservatory is built similarly, but with a rectangular shape that is perhaps more space-efficient. L or P-shaped conservatories combine the styles of both Victorian and Edwardian garden rooms, and offer a versatile space that can be split into separate areas. Contemporary garden rooms with large glass walls are fantastic additions to modern homes or extensions and can create stunning exteriors. However, designs like these do use a lot of space and could require special planning permission. If you don’t have space for a large, contemporary garden room and you aren’t a fan of the uPVC conservatory, orangeries or sunrooms may appeal more; the structure is sympathetically designed to appear consistent with the style of the house.

What is an orangery?

They are both glass-walled and -roofed structures, but what is the difference between a conservatory and an orangery? The traditional orangery has a longer history ‐ it became popular in the 17th Century when homeowners wanted a place to grow citrus plants (e.g. orange trees, hence ‘orangery’) and so built structures, either stand alone or incorporated into their homes, with glass walls and roofs, similar to greenhouses. The conservatory is actually believed to have developed from the orangery after the fashion for growing citrus plants died down. However, homeowners still wanted a place to grow other tropical, herb or shrub plants that would allow sun and warmth into the house in summer and allow the plants to survive in winter. Today, the real difference is in the construction. Orangeries are considered traditional extensions with masonry walls and more standard Victorian structures, whereas modern conservatories can be more varied and made of a range of materials, including timber, uPVC or aluminium.

What type of conservatory furniture do I need?

Chances are your conservatory furniture will see a high amount of direct sunlight. Keep this in mind when choosing pieces, since some fabrics and materials can quickly fade or become uncomfortably hot. Outdoor furniture will generally stand up well to the heat and light exposure of sunrooms and orangeries, but don’t be afraid to mix and match with indoor pieces as well. Wicker, seagrass and rattan furniture items are good options, while you might want to steer away from metal and leather pieces which will get hot in the sunlight. Installing conservatory blinds or shades that can be drawn when the room isn't in use is a smart way to prolong the life of your sunroom furniture when the space is not in use.
