Thanks to its impressive versatility and
its ability to
complement most types of property, the Victorian is
one of the most frequently seen styles of
conservatory.
It can be distinguished by its steeply pitched roof
and its use of ornate detailing along the roof's
centre apex (called the ridge). Typically, Victorian
conservatories have 3 or 5 panel facets.
Georgian/Edwardian
Called either the Georgian or Edwardian,
this style
of conservatory is similar to the Victorian. The main
difference is that they are flat fronted where as the
Victorian has an angular front.
Representing a perfect marriage of form and
function, they also tend to be more understated -
making them the ideal choice if you do not wish to
detract from the visual impact of the main property.
Lean-to
Lean-to conservatories are usually rectangular
with
a roof that leans on to the main property (hence
their name). They have clean, simple lines giving
them a modern, uncomplicated look and making
them suitable for a wide range of house styles.
In particular, they are the ideal choice for bungalows
or other homes where the roof has low eaves.
Lean-to conservatories are also known as sunrooms
and studio rooms.
