Victorian Conservatory History
First, let’s take a trip down memory lane.
Sometimes referred to as a ‘Victoriana’ conservatory, this type of conservatory has an interesting history.
Essentially, during the 19th century, conservatories really ‘took off’ in the United Kingdom. This renaissance was in the height of the Victorian era.
Throughout the country, large cast iron glass structures began to appear in the gardens of the wealthy upper-classes.
That’s why the Victorian has a reputation for elegance and luxury. It’s basically a nod to the unusual greenhouses that started to appear at the time.
As the style has evolved into more modern designs, Victorian conservatories have retained the original roof-style of the Victorian age.
They remain just as compatible with modern homes as they were ‘back in the day’!
What are the benefits of a Victorian Conservatory?
History lesson over. Now it’s time to explore why Victorian conservatories are so popular today.
The first thing to bear in mind is that every conservatory we deliver comes with a 10-year guarantee.
Once the simple build is completed – your new conservatory will enhance the size and value of your home. It will also add that unique Victorian character and give your house a distinctive look and feel.
Our Victorian-style conservatories are totally adaptable to any building shape.
It doesn’t matter whether you live in a bungalow, or have any other height restrictions to consider. Your bespoke conservatory is delivered made to measure.
This means that all measurements will meet the required dimensions for your property. This makes the installation process as easy as it should be.
You can also choose the best type of glass to match your preferred style of door, frames and type of roof.
With a DIY Victorian style conservatory, you have the option to install self-cleaning solar control glazing. This enables you to benefit from less manual cleaning and less sun invasion.
Then there’s the quality of materials.
High insulating materials are included as standard. This means warmth in the winter is guaranteed.
You’ll be able to enjoy your conservatory as those long winter nights draw in – so you’re getting as much value out of your investment as you should.
Basically, we want you to be completely satisfied with your Victorian conservatory. Which is why we go the extra mile to ensure you get exactly what you need. For more information about Victorian conservatories (plus many other styles), order your free Conservatory Land brochure.
