Many of us take enormous pride in our homes as they are one of the most substantial investments you will make in your lifetime. We all want them to look as good as possible and to be able to add our own personal touches to them in order to make them feel unique and individual. Once you have settled in a home, you may be the kind of person who likes to invite friends and family over for dinner or drinks, but you need a luxurious setting in which to host them.

Orangeries can be that location, as they have enough floor space to accommodate a dining table and chairs and will regularly supply you with the warmth you need inside to hold such occasions. The look of an orangery will also take your guests aback, as they really are the best extension you could ever wish for thanks to its brickwork composition and stunning lines. You can even fit it with a choice of flooring and accessorise it in any way you feel appropriate.

It can play host to a dinner party, child’s birthday party or just as somewhere you go to get away from the rest of the house when you fancy a bit of peace and quiet. The possibilities really are endless and there is almost literally nothing you cannot use it for.

Before you install orangeries or conservatories, you should check out what the current valuation of your home is. This is because both of these extensions will add further value to your home and this will give you a good indication of exactly how much they have helped boost its sale price.

Finally, when considering products such as these and PVC windows, make sure you fully research what is available to help your decision making process that bit easier.

The modern day household needs to be as green as ever before as we are constantly reminded about that damaging effects global warming can cause the planet and us as human beings. There are several ways in which we can help such as recycling on a regular basis, pulling the plug out of appliances before going to bed and relying less on our cars and using public transport more regularly. However, one of the most effective ways of reducing your carbon footprint in the home is by having an orangery installed.

Now you may never have heard of orangeries in the North West previously, but they are commonly becoming the most popular way of extending a home. Like conservatories in the North West and conservatories in Cheshire, the orangery will provide you with enormous heat all year round, so that you can turn down your heating systems, therefore making for a greener environment. The windows used in an orangery will make use of both the heat and light of the sun, making for a warm and bright experience.

They are more aesthetically pleasing than a conservatory as they are almost completely made up of brick rather than uPVC which tends to make a conservatory stand out more, sometimes not in an entirely flattering light. Although it usually costs more to install an orangery than a conservatory, the reason is because it really is the most spectacular way of extending a home. Best of all, no matter what shape or size your home is you can usually always have an orangery fitted at the back of it.

An orangery is almost certain to be an investment which lasts as long as you do in your home. It will also add value to your home and make it much more sought after.

Extending your property with a stylish orangery or garden room can be simple and straight forward as generally no planning permission is needed.

How often have you seen a beautiful orangery lit up at night and not been envious of the stylish extra living space?

An orangery can give you a luxurious dining room in which to entertain by candlelight, an airy garden room in the daytime, a useful working study, or if you have little ones around the house, the additional space can become a bright and buzzing playroom.

Many people think of orangeries as a more substantial version of the traditional conservatory – and they would be right. There is more brickwork showing in an orangery so it seems more solid and room-like, while natural daylight still floods in from the self-cleaning solar controlled glazed roof and windows.

But, what many people don’t realise is that generally they don’t need planning permission or any special building regulations to extend in this way.
While orangeries have become synonymous with luxury country homes, the latest contemporary bespoke designs are just as at home in the suburbs as they are in the country.

At Clearview Home Improvements they have really caught on to the orangery phenomenon – appreciating exactly why people aspire to this extra living space.
With many years experience, the team at Clearview has devised some fabulous showroom displays for you to see exactly what can be achieved.

Half the wall area of an orangery can be in brickwork and what’s more, interiors can be designed with unique internal lighting pelmets for soft low voltage down-lighters which can be used in the evening to give a glowing, cosy atmosphere.

More affordable than a traditional extension, an orangery or conservatory can be a versatile and stylish living area and they tend to become the main feature of a home!
Clearview which showcases a whole range of orangeries and conservatories at their three outlets in Preston, Holmes Chapel and Warrington, also has state-of-the-art technology and innovations to offer customers.

One of the latest is coloured windows – sage green is a popular option giving the effect of a traditional orangery painted in the latest heritage colours – ideal for a home with a history, yet still maintenance free! This facility is also ideal when matching up colours to seamlessly blend with existing adjoining buildings.

And there is a range of new designs to see at the showrooms, including a contemporary atrium design – putting a modern twist into what is normally a traditional style roof.

While the team at Clearview Home Improvements has extensive experience in the conservatory business, orangeries now account for over half their trade – they will design and build and they also guarantee all work carried out under their customer charter.

As managing director John Beaty explains: “We stick to the building schedule religiously and keep customers informed every step of the way.”

Employing a team of around 60, Clearview has ensured all its sales executive are CAD (Computer Aided Design) trained, to enable them to show prospective customers exactly what their orangery or conservatory will look like.

Customer service is paramount at Clearview which has developed an interior design facility giving customers various options when their conservatory or orangery is built.
