Conservatories and orangeries are the most elegant home additions in your garden. They were once intended to grow and maintain plants. The unique feature of their construction is the use of the glass. They add an extra living space in your garden area. They are the fascinating and attractive additions in the outdoors. However, the theme or the purpose of construction has changed in this modern day.
A conservatory is different from an orangery in many ways. A conservatory uses glass for its construction, but to a lesser extent. More often it is constructed with PVC and includes glass paneling and a translucent roof. Whereas, glass is used to a greater extent in orangeries when compared to that in conservatories. Usually, an orangery is built with half resemblance of a conservatory and the other half with brick construction.
The cost of construction of a building depends on the materials used. As glass is more expensive, it costs more to construct an orangery when compared to a conservatory. Some home owners who wish to add a unique and stylish addition in the garden at a low budget opt for conservatory. However, even a well-built orangery boosts the appeal as well as value of your property.
A conservatory and an orangery also differ in the use of bricks. Bricks are rarely used to construct conservatories. As said, they are mostly built with PVC. However, orangeries use bricks too in their construction. The construction of orangeries with bricks ensure added privacy which you cannot enjoy in a conservatory. Both orangeries and conservatories can be built to suit the preferences of individuals.
