victorian conservatories
The Victorian era gave rise to a highly distinctive gothic style and intricate architecture. But although the form is inspired by the past, the function of the Canterbury Victorian is decidedly 21st century.
Conservatories, during the Victorian era were primarily used to grow plants. Today conservatories are mainly utilized for the additional space they so easily provide, whether for relaxation, work or as a playroom.
Characteristically octagonal shaped Victorian conservatories typically have a three of five facet bay – encapsulating the statement that is the Victorian style.
when to choose a victorian conservatory
The intricate structure of the Victorian conservatory lends itself well to a site overlooking the garden. It is perfect for gardens large and small, and looks especially grand sitting atop a beautiful green lawn.
The conservatory has a hexagonal base, which adds a layer of interest to your property, giving a luxurious edge to the space. This design has an elevated roof, which gives the conservatory a grand, spacious feel.
your choice, down to the last detail
Once you’ve decided on the conservatory for you, you can then decide how to personalise your conservatory to make it truly your own.
We offer a range of design and build options for you to choose from to help you get the perfect conservatory for you, your home and your lifestyle.
It should come as no surprise then, that our Victorian conservatories are available in a range of colours, including white rosewood and oak. With a range of window and door handle finishes to compliment.
Our impressive range of glazing options for the conservatory frames and roof gives you the flexibility to tailor your conservatory to suit your needs and desires. You can opt for energy efficiency and comfort using our specialist performance glass options with a range of roof vent solutions, and for the personal touch choose one of our decorative glass designs.
We also offer decorative detailing options so you can add that extra “je ne sais quoi” to your conservatory.
Our Victorian conservatories are available with a double-hipped roof as well as a standard roof. A double-hipped roof allows for increased roof height, not restricted by the height of the building it is connected to. (Our double-hipped conservatories come with a rear box gutter.)
With the Victorian style, you also have a choice of three or five facet bay.
