Conservatories

We know that to make your house a home, you must feel comfortable and happy inside it – it’s an important factor. We also know that to achieve this, you need to regulate the temperature inside your home, giving you maximum comfort. Our work with one of our customers is proof that we offer a range of stunning products designed to do just that.

Our customer’s home was prone to becoming uncomfortably hot in the summer months, rendering part of their house unusable. This meant that using iPads, tablets or TVs was a difficult task. They did not want to shut the light out completely, which is why they came to us for help with their problem. We were able to help them find the perfect solution.

Our Henley customer commented:
“We get searing heat, as we’re a south facing property, so it’s lovely to be able to just pull a blind down to keep it out. It makes such a difference!”

With their vision in mind, they knew they needed to install a set of blinds that suit their home, however, they did not want the mess of drilled holes into their walls. They decided to turn to us with the help of Abbey Conservatories to find them the perfect product to suit their needs. Browsing our range of stunning options, they were able to visualise the one that would look ideal inside their home.

To achieve their goal, we were able to offer them a stunning range of integral blinds guaranteed to suit their home. Our integral blinds are designed to block out the harsh summer heat, whilst still ensuring your home is flooded with ample amounts of natural light. We have two ranges on offer that we allowed our customer to choose from – pleated and Venetian.

The installation of their chosen white, pleated blinds was perfect for them because of its ability to make sure their home was dust free. Integral blinds sit within two panes of tough glass, making it low-maintenance and easy to use, ideal for this couple. As a result of this, it is quick and easy to install, providing immediate results and satisfaction.

A couple in Reading has recently been battling with an old conservatory roof that has rendered their conservatory unusable. They looked to Abbey Windows to replace the roof, choosing from an extensive range that was perfect for their home.

Their choice of conservatory roof meant they were able to use their conservatory all year round. Their home in Reading has been transformed with the unique properties found in the tiled conservatory roof they opted for.

Making sure their tiled conservatory roof blends in with the architecture of their home, whilst reducing their energy bills are just some of the benefits they have received upon installation. With quick and easy installation, they were able to get back to their day.

Limited-Use Conservatory

An old polycarbonate conservatory roof meant this couple’s Reading home conservatory was left unused for the majority of the year, due to it either being too hot or too cold.

With the window of opportunity for using the room slowly decreasing they decided to replace their existing roof with a tiled conservatory roof. A solution guaranteed to keep their home warm.

Conservatory Roof Replacement

Our dedicated team of experts were on hand to make sure this couple got the conservatory roof they had always dreamed of.

With their dream in mind, our team were able to talk through the entire range we offer. The quote we provided was unbeatable compared to our industry competitors.

It was extremely important to the couple that they would be able to use the room through the seasons, without having to worry about changing temperatures.

By replacing their old roof with a tiled conservatory roof, they were able to retain their existing conservatory, replacing the roof with hassle-free installation.

Our team of installers made sure it blended into the original architecture of their home, giving a seamless finish.

Tiled Conservatory Roof Installation – Thermal Efficiency

They opted for a tiled conservatory roof that expertly combines aesthetics with practicality to produce a high-performance product.

This option offers a thicker alternative to their old polycarbonate roof, giving them a more comfortable home despite the weather.

Providing an extra layer of insulation on to their home also means they are able to benefit from reduced energy bills.

The gorgeous tiles are manufactured using strong materials and the latest technological advances to ensure they are able to withstand any weather condition.

The high pitched style this roof offers means you will benefit from an increase in the amount of space inside your home.

A common misconception is that some conservatory roofs result in darker rooms. The couple chose to include a gable-end, increasing the amount of natural light that enters their conservatory.

We were able to design and build a room that they now use all year round, making this home improvement project a huge success!

New uPVC Conservatory

We suggested that they view our beautiful uPVC conservatories, and they were instantly impressed.

Stunning Orangery Designed For Reading Family By The Abbey Windows Double Glazing Team.

Abbey Windows have recently completed an Orangery installation with Origin Bi-Fold Doors for a family in Reading and the results are spectacular.

Our customers wanted to create more space towards the back of their property and to open up their living area. They also wanted to make full use of their garden in the summer months.

We guided the family through our Orangery designs and came up with the perfect solution for their Caversham home.

What Is an Orangery?

Orangeries are the grand 17th century predecessors to the modern conservatory and were typically expressions of wealth and status for the elite (those who could afford to keep citrus trees).

The primary difference between an Orangery and Conservatory is that an orangeries are primarily made up of brick in keeping with the brickwork of the house or building it is built onto. Providing better insulation from the elements.

Today, Orangeries exude the same air of luxury and elegance as their stately ancestors. They make for exceptional sunrooms for relaxing or entertaining guests. Orangeries are a truly valuable addition to your Reading home.

We created the ideal Orangery to complement the Caversham home. A contemporary design allowing for the maximum amount of light to enter the home whilst still maintaining privacy.

Orangery with Aluminum Bi-Fold Doors

Origin’s Aluminium Bi-Fold Doors open out onto the garden patio giving the family complete versatility. These revolutionary aluminium doors break down the barrier between home and garden inviting the outdoors into their Reading property.

When the aluminium bi-folding doors are open, the body of the Orangery leads seamlessly out onto the garden bringing fresh air, space and light into the living space. When closed, the aluminium bi-fold doors offer the highest security with a Yale Shootbolt locking system, an anti-lift catch and tamper-proof aluminium hinges.

Our aluminium bi fold doors also boast a 20-year manufacturer’s guarantee directly with Origin!

Fitting the Orangery Roof

We designed a bespoke glass roof for the Orangery which sits flawlessly against the L-shaped structure of the Reading home. The family opted for a flat roof around the perimeter of the Orangery in keeping with the lines of the house.

The Orangery Roof was created using a high-quality, structural grade aluminium profile.

We then capped and cladded the Orangery with low maintenance thermal uPVC capping board fascias and claddings. The ideal finishing for a maintenance free Orangery.

Orangeries: Glass Extensions for your Home

Orangery extensions are becoming ever more popular and it’s no wonder. There are endless benefits to Orangeries. They are visually striking yet entirely practical and energy efficient. Beautiful glass rooms that you can use all year round!

This happy family in Reading finds that in the summer, it’s great to open up their new Origin Bi-Fold Doors and use the garden as an extra addition to the living space. Whereas, in the winter, it becomes a homely and cosy den.

This new room adds a further dimension to their Reading property and provides a seamless link between their home and the garden.

Conservatory installation carried out by the Abbey Windows double glazing installation team.

Blending old an new is often a challenge and one we relished with this Caversham Home. As well designing a large conservatory which embellished character to blend with the period style home, we even produced leaded window designs to replicate the original leaded light windows.

uPVC Conservatory Replacement Carried Out In Reading By The Abbey Windows Team

A couple in Reading have recently chosen a stunning uPVC Conservatory upgrade for their Reading Home. Their old, flat-roofed leaking conservatory has been skilfully replaced by our expert conservatory installation team to a sophisticated Gable End Conservatory.

This stylish and charming style of uPVC Conservatory has completely rejuvenated their Whitley home whilst maintaining the authentic charm of their character property.

Leaking Conservatory

The couple’s flat-roofed uPVC conservatory had been in place for over twenty-five years, but a leaking roof and a frame which let in draughts meant the outdated structure could no longer be the hub of their Reading home.

With seven grandchildren, the couple were now looking for a room with functionality. A space that could be used throughout the seasons, whatever the weather.

Bespoke Conservatory Refurbishment

Our double glazing team talked through the exciting conservatory styles we have to offer including our bespoke conservatory styles. It was important to the couple that we keep to a similar footprint to the original uPVC Conservatory. Together we began to design the couple’s ideal conservatory, in keeping with the look and feel of their Reading home.

A brand new conservatory plan was drawn up with a number of amendments to enhance the look of the Reading home. The new plans would bring the uPVC Conservatory up to date, whilst retaining the lines of the house.

Gable Ended Conservatory

The couple opted for a stunning Gable End Conservatory; a modern style of uPVC Conservatory offering maximum space and height within the room. The double glazed front window panel of this cleverly designed uPVC Conservatory remains upright rather than sloping back towards the centre. This, coupled with the new high-angled double glazed roof, maximises light and creates a feeling of great height within the uPVC Conservatory. Check out the before and after photographs below.

The conservatory roof replacement will further improve the functionality of the new uPVC Conservatory in Reading. We wished to give the couple climate control with high performance glass. The old, leaking roof was replaced with an UltraFrame double glazed roof, providing the couple with a uPVC Conservatory they can use all year round. No longer will this family room be hot in summer and cold in winter, with the innovative four-season double glazing.

uPVC French Doors Fitted on New uPVC Conservatory

The Abbey Conservatory installation team lastly fitted a pair of stylish uPVC French Doors from Liniar into the new uPVC Conservatory. An elegant addition allowing easy access to the garden on hot summer days.

We built practical hardware into the uPVC Conservatory design allowing the new uPVC French Doors to be easily latched back on a windy day.

Further security features were included with a Yale Lockmaster multipoint lock incorporated into the uPVC French Doors, the ultimate shield against would-be intruders.

Reading Conservatory Replacement – The Verdict

The couple worked with Abbey in a dynamic fashion, getting involved with all details to find a solution which would suit both their Whitley home and their living style.

The verdict, a success! The couple can enjoy their new uPVC Conservatory to the full, all year round.

The couple are particularly pleased in the size and feeling of spaciousness in the new conservatory. Having previously had pinoleum blinds on the uPVC Windows, the couple have delayed their decision to put new conservatory blinds in. Simply appreciating the bright, airy feel of their new living space.

The conservatory is now used as a family room and is certainly the new heart of their Reading home.
