THE ULTIMATE ORANGERY OR EXTENSION DESIGN FOR HOMEOWNERS IN DEVON AND CORNWALL

The Ultrasky roof system combines modern styling with natural light creating beautiful warm Orangeries and glazed extension.

The strong, thermally efficient ridge requires fewer bars drawing more light into the room. The Ultrasky roof extends to the eaves beam, combining the internal pelmet and a choice of external Cornice to create a beautiful Orangery roof style.

This conservatory roof is compatible with the structural goal post and works with large spans of glass or doors – resulting in uninterrupted views and a stunning design.

AN ALTERNATIVE ORANGERY ROOF SOLUTION

Light and style are perfectly embodied in Ultrasky roof from Ultraframe. The roof bars extend all the way down to the eaves beam, rather than sitting on a flat roof like a traditional lantern roof.

SUPERIOR ILLUMINATION

The Ultrasky roof uses fewer bars to let in even more light. A choice of decorative Cornice is available to hide the standard guttering that is typically found on conservatories.

INCREDIBLE COMFORT

The internal insulated pelmet will enable you to enjoy better lighting as well as thermal performance when you incorporate LED down lights, and can house internal speakers

  • When used with the structural goalpost system, it is possible to achieve a span width of 6m. The goalpost is hidden inside the Ultrasky roof and creates minimalist sightlines.
  • The lantern roof is exceptionally strong and works with the structural goalpost technology to lessen pressure on the doors and introduce more design options.

Decorative Cornice can be used to create a specific look. The Classic curved option is available which when used in conjunction with brick piers, adds a traditional look to your design.  

3 ULTRASKY: SUITABLE FOR ORANGERIES AND EXTENSIONS

ULTRASKY ORANGERY FAQ'S

How Much does an Orangery Cost in Devon and Cornwall?

Are Orangeries Cold in Winter?

No - orangeries are not cold in winter, in fact they can be very warm. Orangery roofs are highly thermally efficient, meaning that orangeries are warm and comfortable, whatever the time of year.

Does an Orangery Cost more than a conservatory?

Generally, an Orangery will cost more than a conservatory due to the additional specification that is required to make it an Orangery. Most clients will look to add LED down lights to the internal pelmet, which then will require plaster boarding before skimming. Decorative Cornice is made from aluminium and looks amazing, but it does come at a cost.  

What is an Orangery?

Typically, a traditional orangery has a solid flat roof with 1 or more glazed lantern roofs. The Ultrasky roof is a fully pitched roof that gives the illusion that it has a flat roof from the inside. 

Does an Orangery need planning permission?

An orangery will not always require planning permission as it may be exempt under Permitted Development rights. To find out if this would apply for adding an orangery to your home, speak to the planning officer in the building control department of your local council or speak to us direct.

Are Orangeries warmer than Conservatories?

The Ultrasky Orangery has an internal pelmet that creates added insulation over that of a typical conservatory.

Is an Orangery Cheaper than an extension?

Whether an orangery is cheaper than an extension is dependent on numerous options - there are many options for both an orangery and an extension. These factors influence, the base work needed, will you require building regulations approval or not, the quality of the builders/installers who carry out the work and the specification of the orangery in comparison to an extension. 

Will an Orangery add value to my home?

Yes, an orangery will add value to your home as it will add valuable extra living space. The amount of value it will add to your home will depend on many factors such as the area you live in, your existing home, and the style and specification of orangery.

How long does an Orangery take to build?

The main factor in determining the duration an orangery will take to build is the base work. The time to create an orangery base can vary dependent on the ground conditions. Once the base works are completed, an orangery should be able to be built within just a couple of weeks.

How long will an orangery last?

How long an orangery will last again depends on many factors such as the quality of the installation and the products used. Using quality orangery products form Ultraframe, there is no reason why your orangery shouldn't last for many years.
