Styles Of Conservatories
In their initial form during the Renaissance era, conservatories were used as buildings for housing plants during the colder winter months. As the years went by the popularity of conservatories rose and with it came developments in their functionality; from Greenhouses to tea rooms and occasionally ball rooms. Many of Europe's cities began building municipal conservatories to display tropical plants and flower shows. In the modern day, conservatories are more popularly used as a kind of home extension.
Modern conservatories are usually designed or chosen to continue the architectural design on a particular house into the extension area. For this reason is it not uncommon to see very simple square conservatories on modern housing, plus of course it is cheaper. In the UK a room attached to the side of a house built from PVC is only legally called a conservatory if it has at least 50% of its side walls and at least 75% of its roof glazed. In other parts of the world this room is called a sunroom.
What you require from a conservatory depends on many important factors such as personal taste, location and budget. Below is a guide of the most common types of conservatory available on the market today.
In terms of traditional conservatories, the three main types are the Edwardian, Victorian and Georgian. The Victorian type of conservatory is based on a three or five facet design and is probably the most common type of conservatory today due to its common aesthetic appeal and seemingly intricate but relatively simple design. The Edwardian conservatory is very similar to the rounded Victorian type of conservatory except that it has a square or rectangular footprint. Georgian style conservatories are typically designed in a period style and most commonly are built with a dwarf wall on each side.
Although there are many modern styles of conservatory, there are three that are most commonly used today: P shaped, gable front and lean-to. As its name suggests, the P shaped or corner fill conservatory has a plan that is the shape of the letter P and is great a making good use of space as it is constructed onto two faces of the main building. Corner-fill conservatories can also be built using two different styles also, depending on your preference. The gable front or gable ended conservatory is most commonly designed with period details because of its almost classic design; for this reason it is not uncommon to see them built onto older buildings. Gable ended conservatories have a square or rectangular floor plan with a horizontal front face and a two plane sloping roof perpendicular to the front. The lean-to is certainly the most common and cheapest form of conservatory as it essentially utilizes the support of the main building to bear some of the weight of the roof. Because of this fact they are generally only structurally viable with square or rectangular footprints.
