Mr and Mrs Poole enquired about an orangery, and after an initial consultation, we knew we could achieve something unique for this Middleton home. A brick construction with an impressive roof lantern gave the home a wow factor and a new open plan living area, expanding the home, and futureproofing it for family use for many years to come!

 

Orangery extension for open plan living

Mr and Mrs Poole had recently moved into their new Manchester address and saw the potential the home had. They wanted to add to an open plan living space with an orangery room so they could relax and entertain with friends and family as well as invest by adding value to the property. They wanted to create a large open plan family area, linking the kitchen, dining room, and lounge area for a dynamic and family-focused space.

After processing a Planning Application, Building Control, SAP calculations, and structural calculations, the existing conservatory was demolished. We built the new orangery in its place using a structural steel frame with brick walls and timber construction for the roof, including a GRP roof covering for long-term weather protection.

After the project was complete, the home was far more energy efficient due to our glazed home improvement products, the Eurocell roof lantern, Smarts Visofold bifolding doors and Deceuninck French doors. This flooded the space with light, enhancing the home’s complete look and increasing the overall value of the property.

Energy-efficient glazing for home improvements

Many homeowners are nervous about glazing, worrying about thermal efficiency and the soaring cost of energy bills. At Droylsden Glass, we work with high-quality and reputable glazing brands that focus on energy-efficient glazing that can improve a home’s energy efficiency. We put all our glazing knowledge into this project for optimal home energy performance.

We used the Eurocell Conservatory Roof Lantern in the 8 by 3-meter design with Celsius Elite Glass which reflects approximately 3 times more solar energy than standard glass. This glass has exceptional U-value measures that lock in internal heat and offer fantastic insulation. The lantern roof reduces harmful UV rays, allowing greater protection of homeowner’s furniture and fabrics, keeping a perfect home for our family.

We also installed the Smarts Visofold 1000 Aluminium Bifold Doors, specifically designed to meet the highest technical specifications. Due to the flexibility these aluminium bifold doors offer, they are perfect for parties and family get-togethers which is what our homeowners were dreaming of.

Finally, the Deceuninck 2500 French Doors we used in the internal space offered heightened thermal efficiency with ‘A’ rated double-glazed units for maximum home thermal efficiency and enhanced home security for total peace of mind.
