Conservatories

A conservatory provides extra space to enjoy meals with friends, a light family room to relax in, or an extension of the garden where plants will thrive. A favourite room you will want to use whatever the weather.

Each Applewood Joinery conservatory is designed from scratch. The end result is a unique building that fits perfectly with the way you live, the house and its setting.

Our conservatories are constructed using a combination of hardwood, alloy and steel with high-performance glazing and long-life finishes that ensure low maintenance.

Many components are exclusive to Applewood Joinery Ltd, such as purpose-made hardware and a patented glazing system that both looks good and really keeps the weather at bay.

Orangeries

An orangery usually combines masonry with timber and glass, and is typically classical in style. The earliest, built in the 17th century were for conserving orange trees and other tender plants through the winter and for entertaining in the summer.

To succeed, orangeries need careful design, thoroughly scaled to the main house. Applewood Joinery plan the project in an integrated way, ensuring it fits perfectly with its setting. We design, organise and construct them with the help of a local stonemason or bricklayer.

Whether you prefer a style with columns, capitals and cornices, or with simple clean lines free of classical references, an orangery is an attractive and practical option.
