ELEGANT and adaptable, an orangery provides a perfect living space for all seasons, a 'bridge' between home and garden, adding value to your home and enjoyment to your life. Whatever your aspirations - a tasteful kitchen extension, an extra room for dining and entertaining or a quiet haven to relax and unwind - the new generation of orangeries created by Huddersfield- based Sash Windows offer a solution which is both practical and stylish.

Just imagine - a sanctuary of comfort and calm where the room temperature is pleasantly warm all year round, a vantage point to enjoy views of  your garden and the changing scenes of nature from one season to the next. A patio is all well and good if we are blessed with a good summer, but for the rest of the time, we can easily forget it is there.

Building an orangery will create a truly beautiful and luxurious room filled with light throughout the day and cosy or intimate by night to suit your mood.

Orangeries, as the name suggests, were built originally for the nurturing of orange trees and exotic plants. In the grand houses of Europe, during the 17th century they were temples of grandeur providing suitably ornate surroundings for the rich and powerful to entertain their honoured guests.

Four hundred years on, the orangery has kept pace with modern technology while continuing to be inspired by the heritage and artistry of the past. For homeowners seeking something a little different, over and above what they would expect from a conventional home extension, it is a winning combination.

Sash Windows can turn your dreams into reality by designing an orangery to your specifications using the latest insulation and glazing materials. Traditional white, woodgrain or a coloured finish, classic simplicity or a more ornate, decorative look - the choice is yours.

The company's new orangery system, which has been in research and development for two years, is unique in that it is currently the "only" structurally qualified, traditional, flat orangery roofing system on the market. It has been developed in aluminium box section rather than timber which significantly improves the structural performance and product life.

The unique, patented roof section has a box section frame with four prefabricated corners, which works in perfect harmony with the aluminium roof atrium, creating an exceptional quality product, both in strength and performance.

A well established company, founded in 1992, Sash Windows have a thorough understanding of our local buildings and can achieve exactly the right combination of style, design and individual bespoke requirements for your property.

Our team can work with the space you have available to create a design that will complement your home's architectural features. We will work closely with you to try to incorporate all your requirements and keep within your budget.

To experience the beauty and comfort of a newly completed orangery, and to see a slide show showing how it was made, why not visit our showroom at Lockwood, on the main road out of Huddersfield towards Meltham and the Holme Valley.

More than just a conservatory

An Orangery oozes sophistication and charm harking back to a bygine age.

Something you might expect to at an historic stately home on a county estate, but as far as owing one yourself, only in your wildest dreams.

Until now, that is....

Huddersfield Eye

Around Town

Throughout the seventeenth century, the grand houses of Europe boasted magnificent orangeries. These temples of light and grandeur were proud symbols of status amongst the very rich and powerful.

Although centuries have passed, the elegant, airy appeal of a gracefully-proportioned orangery has remained a highly desirable feature for any residence. Now all that history, artistry, heritage and beauty are available for you to enjoy in your own home - with either traditional or contemporary styling.

A correctly-designed and built orangery is a spacious light-filled extension to your home. Bright throughout the day, making the most of the natural light shining in from above and cosy or intimate at night

to suit your mood, With slender lines, plentiful windows and a large glazed atrium to open up the roof space to the skies, an orangery allows light to flood in from the great outdoors, illuminating its own space and the rooms it adjoins. Inside, the pillars help to create an air of privacy, the perfect environment in which to unwind and relax. Outside, careful attention to design creates a stunningly attractive and seamless extension to your home, matching or complimenting your existing architectural style. An orangery adds enjoyment to your life - and value to your home.

Unlike many orangery designs, ours are not limited to the basic standard rectangle. Our patented method for creating the roof space, into which the glass and aluminium atrium sits (the single most important feature separating an orangery from a conservatory) allows us a flexibility that other companies cannot hope to match. Sash Windows' expert team follows a custom-developed, structurally qualified roof system, building and fitting durable orangeries to suit any budget.
