Conservatories

Before the start of their daughter’s wedding, one couple wanted to increase the space in their home, using a modern conservatory.

They wanted to make sure there was a seamless blend into the outside area, creating a practical and open space. Abbey Windows were proud to encourage their end-goal.

With the theme ‘modern and contemporary’ in mind, they were able to find the conservatory of their dreams that would increase their space and light with the use of high-performance windows.

Increasing the Space

This couple had the idea of including a modern, creative space in their home, in order to brighten their house and enhance their space provided.

Wanting a space that matched the theme of their home, Abbey were able to create a colour theme that complemented the existing architecture.

Working around the theme of ‘modern and contemporary’, Abbey Windows were able to assist them in designing the perfect conservatory that can be installed quickly and easily, with minimal mess.

Our Solution

With their creative idea and vision in mind, we came up with a solution that was the perfect fit for their Reading home. The solution incorporated all the features and benefits they expected.

We worked with the couple to design a grey conservatory that enhances their living space. With large, double-glazed windows, the conservatory attracted large amounts of natural light.

Their dream grey conservatory expertly combined clean aesthetics with practicality to offer them a versatile space fit for any purpose.

They wanted a space that can create a seamless transition from their home to their surrounding area, which is why they decided to install our wonderful bi-fold doors.

The bi-fold doors utilise a smooth concertina opening, making sure they can make full use of the space available.

Grey Lean-To Conservatories

Lean-to conservatories are becoming a popular choice amongst homeowners in Reading, due to the weather-proof properties found in the high-performance frames. Each frame is designed to make sure your home is protected against harsh weather conditions.

This is one of the most cost-effective home improvement solutions. This is because the slim sightlines and large double glazed glass panels mean more natural heat is trapped inside, making your home warm and comfortable all year round.

The high-performance frames are manufactured to your exact design specifications, which means they are guaranteed to fit inside the space provided. This gives your home the best chance of staying warm, whilst you are protected from the harsh conditions outside.

Manufactured by a market-leading company, your lean-to conservatory can be made in any colour to match or contrast the aesthetics of your home. Each one is designed to make your home feel newly renovated, brighter and more welcoming.

Bi-Fold Doors

Bi-fold doors offer exceptional benefits, guaranteed to suit any home on the market. Their smooth functionality ensures they are easy to use and discreet, making them perfect for any type of home.

Whilst the couple’s children may have grown up, potential grandchildren can be kept safe and sound with the high-performance safety features. These doors are designed to keep your family safe.

Fitted with the latest safety features, our range of high-quality bi-fold doors are designed to keep you safe from potential break-ins. This means you can go about your daily life, worry-free.

Utilising a concertina opening functionality, the bi-fold doors on offer can provide you with unobstructed views of your surroundings. Seamlessly blending your home and your garden.

Grey Conservatory with Bi-Fold Doors – The Final Result

We worked side-by-side with the couple to provide them with a space they can be proud of. With their brief being ‘modern and contemporary’, we designed a grey conservatory in varying shades to complement their home. The cool colour theme created a modern environment for them.

Combining our knowledge with their dream, we included bi-fold doors that are perfect for ensuring their home is fully ventilated. We utilised integral blinds to make this home improvement build as low maintenance as possible.

They are extremely happy with their grey conservatory and bi-fold doors, aimed at creating a contemporary environment to entertain guests in. This conservatory boasts all the benefits of modern living, making it a huge success!

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.

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.

A beautiful conservatory installation in Tilehurst, Reading

One of our loyal customers had recently bought a property which had an old greenhouse conservatory at the rear. She wished to dismantle the old one and build a beautiful new one in its place, with 21st century security values and excellent energy-efficiency.

We knew our uPVC Conservatories were just the ticket. She popped into our showroom to take a look and thought our range was excellent!

Hassle-Free Installation

The builders had dismantled the old conservatory ready for our survey. Our customer was originally looking at a lean-to conservatory but we advised that a gable-end conservatory would give the client more space and a better view over their land.

This was a 3m x 2m base but with the gable-end it feels a lot larger. The wall structure was manufactured using full height Liniar frames with opening sashes, with an Ultraframe aluminium roof. An excellent combination!

It has blue solar glass in the roof to help with solar reflection and this also helps control the temperatures inside the conservatory.

Stunning Colour Range

Our conservatories are available in a wide range of colours and finishes, and our Reading customer opted for a dark grey finish to finished in dark grey to contrast with the white render.

The result is a contemporary conservatory with all the charm of a classic extension – our customer was left extremely happy with the aesthetic.

We offer many colours for our conservatories including vibrant shades and classic finishes, to suit every kind of Reading property.

The Verdict

With a quick installation time of 3 days, our Reading customer was extremely happy.

This conservatory was designed to give the customer maximum light and the extra space they needed to enjoy their garden with a full 360 panoramic view whilst sat in the comfort of their conservatory.

Our beautiful conservatory range ticks all of these boxes, and has given our customer a beautiful, spacious area to both relax and entertain.

Stunning Conservatory and Porch Installation in Reading by Abbey Conservatories!

With a young family our customers ideally wanted a larger living space for their growing family without the inconvenience and cost of moving.

We knew a conservatory was the right choice for them, and recommended they pop into our local showroom to view our uPVC conservatories range!

Edwardian Conservatory

Our customers decided on a 4.2m x 3.1m Edwardian conservatory that has a vented Anthracite Grey on White Ultraframe roof with Blue Solar Glass.

To complement the living space for all year round use, our customer decided on the Prefix living room detail with lighting. This not only creates an aesthetically pleasing feel that has controllable lighting for every occasion. Unlike normal conservatories with strip lighting, it also takes the conservatory away from a traditional look of a full glass roof, to something much more permanent and welcoming/comforting.  

The uPVC window and door frames are Liniar Anthracite Grey on White with A Rated Glass.

Spacious Design

This conservatory was designed to create more space for our Reading customers.

The decision was made to knock through the existing kitchen and dining room to create an open-plan space that allowed for better lighting and functionality.

By installing a 3 leaf set of Origin Aluminium Bi-Fold Doors between the new conservatory and the kitchen / dining room, our customers have free-flowing flowing floor space in their Reading property. The family can close themselves away when they want to have a little quiet time, or at other times create an amazing family room and play area going straight onto the garden for the children to enjoy.

Beautiful uPVC Porch

At the front of the property our clients Porch & front door was a little tired and they wished to improve their security.

We reduced the brickwork down to DPC level and replaced them with full height Liniar frames with A Rated Glass and Insulated reinforced uPVC panels, with a turquoise pastel Rocal Endurance Etna Spring composite front door.

Our composite doors are incredibly secure, with impressive locking systems that are accredited by Secured by Design.

We further removed and replaced with Free Foam fascia, soffit and guttering.

We were approached by our Reading customers who had an old aluminium conservatory with a polycarbonate roof.

New uPVC Conservatory

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

Our new energy efficient uPVC conservatory, with its state of the art glass coatings, now retains heat in the winter and reflects heat in the summer.

This means that the conservatory is a useable part of the house all year round!

Quick Installation

The new conservatory went up without a hitch. Our Reading customers opted for a lean-to conservatory, which is the most competitively priced conservatory in our range.

They chose a classic ‘white’ for the finish, with a stunning glass roof to add a classic aesthetic and improve noise insulation.

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.
