Blake & Howes upgrade orangery roofs in Suffolk, retaining traditional charm and architectural style, whilst adding modern performance.
Blake & Howes are proud to be at the forefront of this growing trend, helping to revitalise underused spaces and make them comfortable all year round. Orangeries are often a standout feature of a property, bringing elegance, natural light and additional living space to a home. Designed to complement classic architecture, they can be visually striking, but many fall short when it comes to everyday comfort. A common issue is inconsistent temperature, and more often than not, the roof is the main cause.
Older orangery roofs, especially those incorporating large glazed sections or uPVC elements, tend to perform poorly in changing weather conditions. In the summer, heat can quickly build up, making the room stifling, while in winter valuable warmth escapes, leaving the space cold and inefficient to heat. Eventually, problems such as condensation, excessive glare and the clattering sound of rain can further reduce the room’s appeal.
Upgrading to a modern insulated orangery roof offers a practical way to resolve these issues without losing the character of the original design. By replacing the existing roof with a more advanced system, homeowners can significantly improve thermal performance while preserving the traditional style that makes an orangery so distinctive. The result is a space that feels more like a permanent extension, blending naturally with the rest of the property.
Contemporary orangery roofs are designed to manage temperature far more effectively. They help retain heat during colder months and prevent the space from overheating when the weather warms up. This creates a balanced, comfortable environment that can be enjoyed throughout the year rather than just in mild conditions. Improved insulation also reduces outside noise, making the room quieter and more relaxing.
Appearance remains an important consideration. Modern systems are available in a variety of finishes to suit period homes, from cottages to townhouses. Features such as roof windows or glazed sections can still be included, ensuring plenty of natural light continues to flow into the space.
Blake & Howes provide orangery roof upgrades across Suffolk, delivering thoughtful design, reliable installation and lasting improvements that enhance both comfort and usability.
