At Select Products, we are a local family-run business operating for over 20 years in the home improvement industry. We are an efficient and professional team of installers who install the highest quality orangeries. An orangery gives you many benefits that will enhance your home.

An orangery features more brickwork, privacy, and extra living space. They were initially built in the 17th Century to allow citrus fruits to grow. They transformed into a building with a solid roof and lantern that lets natural light flow seamlessly inside your property. But there are many ways that you can improve your home. This article will go through some of the benefits of making an informed decision.

Orangeries Increase the Value Of Your Property 

When you add an orangery to your property, it is a beautiful building that increases the market value of your home. It is attractive to potential buyers because it is extremely versatile and gives your home the wow factor. By attracting potential buyers, you will sell the home for more than you originally bought.

Orangeries Let Natural Light Into Your Property 

Our orangeries are fitted with advanced double glazing as standard. This is ideal because natural light floods straight into your property. This has many benefits that will increase the appeal of your home. It saves money on energy bills because you don’t have to use your central heating as much. Furthermore, natural light will help you add more Vitamin D to your home, resulting in a positive and welcoming space. This is ideal if visitors want to enter.

You can enhance your orangery to improve the lighting. Downlights are a seductive way to boost the atmosphere. This will give you ambient lighting to create a focal point in your property. This will be perfect if you have a kitchen or an open plan space. If you want something striking, add a table or floor lamp to stand alone or be part of a collection. Alternatively, uplights are useful to create a pleasing effect and soften your living area.  

Orangeries are Extremely Versatile 

They are very versatile when you consider an orangery for your living space. You can use them for many different rooms, such as living or dining rooms. It is even suitable if you have a growing family as you can convert the space into a cinema or games room, meaning everyone can enjoy it.

If you have a job that requires you to work from home, then the orangery is perfect for an office space. With the added double glazing, you can experience outstanding panoramic views of your property because the room supports large panels.

An Orangery Creates a Seamless Space Between your House and Garden 

An orangery will help bring your house closer to your garden. This is ideal if you want to spend more time outside. If, for example, you want to use the same flooring as your living room, you will create a beautiful ambience. This helps you enjoy luxurious comfort whatever the weather.

The double glazing is a natural heat insulator, saving money on your energy bills. But it also helps block out sound, which is ideal if you live in a busy neighbourhood or get distracted by other gardeners. The glazing panels can cut these sounds out, leaving you in peace.

You Don’t Need Planning Permission to Install An Orangery. 

If you want to install a conservatory or extension, you must apply for planning permission, which can be a hassle if neighbours object to it. But because an orangery is a permitted development, you don’t need to go through this hassle, meaning it will be installed as normal.

However, it is extremely important to consider some points. The orangery must not exceed 50% of the area in the house, can’t go above 4m in height, and the eaves should be less than 3m high if within 2m of a structure boundary.

Conclusion 

We hope this article has helped you understand why you should consider an orangery in your home. Orangeries are diverse structures that can be used for a variety of purposes so you can enjoy your home. Furthermore, you can bring the light in, saving money on heating bills.
