Wooden Orangeries

Why Choose Wooden Orangeries?

The defining characteristic of our timber orangeries is the flat perimeter roof section combined with the glazed lantern roof in the middle. This approach produces a space that reads as a true extension, not a bolt-on. Brick walls or piers can be integrated for structural performance, thermal mass, and architectural presence. The flat roof provides a serviceable ceiling void for downlighting and concealed services, supporting year-round usability and clean finishes demanded by specification-led projects.

Orangeries for Trade Installers

For trade partners, wooden orangeries offer measurable value: consistent manufacturing tolerances, clear technical documentation, and streamlined installation sequences. Country Hardwood uses engineered timber and proven joinery methods to deliver strength, stability, and premium surface quality. Our finishes schedule includes RAL colours and translucent stains, enabling accurate design coordination across façades and interiors.

Energy-Efficient Orangeries

Energy efficiency is a core advantage. Orangery roofs provide superior insulation levels compared with typical conservatories, enabling reduced heating loads without sacrificing daylight. Our insulated flat roof build-ups, high-performance glazing, and airtight detailing support comfortable year-round use—ideal where SAP, Part L, or client energy targets apply.

Design versatility sets wooden orangeries apart. We collaborate with architects and structural engineers to resolve complex geometries—from period properties requiring raised and fielded panels and pilasters, to contemporary schemes with slim sightlines and large glazed spans. We accommodate challenging sites, unsquare walls, and expansive footprints (including multiple lanterns), providing CAD/BIM support, structural calculations where required, and coordinated setting-out for rapid on-site progress.

Design Features & Premium Materials

Country Hardwood’s bespoke wooden orangeries incorporate project-ready features that maximise light and function. Roof lanterns deliver exceptional daylight and focal presence. Our bifold door systems enable generous openings—specified up to 10 metres—to connect interiors with gardens or terraces and support modern entertaining briefs. Feature windows with customisable glazing bars can reference period detail or align with contemporary minimalism.

Hardware, seals, and coatings are selected for performance, lifecycle, and maintenance efficiency, with warranties and service guidance available for trade partners.

Design Styles

Our bespoke wooden orangeries are available in Victorian, Edwardian, P-shaped, and contemporary styles, enabling straightforward alignment with planning context and client brief. Profiles, mouldings, and glazing patterns can be tailored to conservation requirements or modern design language, ensuring seamless integration with the property.

Finest Hardwood Materials

Crafted using only the finest hardwoods, we can tackle any style of building, from traditional or highly decorative buildings, including raised and fielded panels, decorative pilasters, and glazing bars or window leads of any design, to ultra-modern buildings with thin, plain frame sections and large expanses of glass. Whatever the design, all of Country Hardwood’s products add a feeling of quality and luxury. With our stylish feature windows, stunning timber lanterns and sleek bifold doors, our orangeries capture the natural light with dramatic effect, turning the additional space into a warm and inviting area to relax and entertain.

Orangery Colours & Finishes

All of our joinery can be finished in an array of colours, including translucent stains to show off the natural grain of the timbers below. There is also the possibility to have different colours on the inside and outside of your building, allowing you to achieve the perfect balance for both your internal and external spaces. No matter the style, at Country Hardwood we are confident that we can help you to come up with a design which will complement your home and be an enduring and impressive feature for many years to come.

Premium hardwood construction underpins longevity and aesthetic consistency. Factory finishing ensures controlled curing and uniformity. Dual-colour options allow separate interior/exterior palettes for precise scheme coordination.

Planning Permission & Options

The criteria for requesting planning permission for an orangery or conservatory has changed in recent years so is often not required. The Government introduced legislation in October 2008 and put in place a new permitted development regime for householders. This has since reduced the requirement for many householders to apply for planning permission to extend their homes, but there are still rules that must be adhered to in order to remain exempt from planning permission.
