At Hallmark Glazed Extensions, we offer both conservatories and orangeries but what is the difference? Which is more suitable for your home?
An orangery differs from a conservatory as it is predominantly made up of brickwork rather than glass. This allows it to blend in with existing brickwork to your property and will have the appearance of having ‘always been there’. The roof features a lantern roof rather than full glass and has windows. An aluminium framed Orangery with contemporary designs by Hallmark adds much-needed space and will enhance the value of your home.
A conservatory is mostly constructed of glass, including the roof; with all-round glass featured, it does truly bring the outdoors in, creating a flow from the home through to the garden.
At Hallmark, our team brings you over 30 years of experience in designing and crafting bespoke conservatories bringing our vast practical and aesthetic knowledge to provide you with a uPVC conservatory or aluminium orangery that ticks all your boxes.

A current popular trend is for the home to have a more open-plan space, traditionally we have seen conservatories added to a home as an ‘additional room’ this is often not the case now, many are opting to have a flow from the lounge, to a kitchen built within the conservatory or orangery glass extension.
Bi-folding or patio sliding doors mean that this flow is then continued through to the patio area, thus creating a huge amount more space for the family home.
The Hallmark design team will be with you every step of the way, advising on your area layout and how to utilise the space to the best possible layout. Creating the space of your dreams.
We are also seeing the need from our clients for additional room, whilst many people are looking to be working from home on a permanent basis.
