With the addition of lantern roofs and tiled roofs to the conservatory market , the opportunities for installers are seemingly endless nowadays for creating purpose designed spaces for consumers . The traditional glazed conservatory has had a makeover , with a range of contemporary style options available , and orangeries are no longer the expensive , extravagant products they once were .

Robyn Atwell , senior project manager at Monmouthshire Conservatory Company , says orangeries now make up about 9 in 10 of their conservatory sales . He explained :

“ Nowadays orangeries can be built without the rigmarole and expense . A system like Global Summer has all the decorative features of an orangery but doesn ’ t require the building regulations often needed for full structural orangeries . The Global Summer has very distinct mouldings on its cornices which gives it that more traditional appearance than other systems , and that meets the demand we are seeing from our customers .

“ Out of the next five projects we have lined up , only one of those is a traditional lean-to conservatory and the rest will be Global Summer orangeries . It ’ s a great benefit for us to be able to

use the same Global roof system to create multiple roof types – it means our fitters feel more comfortable with the product and can build quicker , meaning less time on site .

“ We recently started selling Synseal ’ s Global system again and have been thrilled

with the results . Synseal ’ s conservatory technical team spent some time with our carpenters on site and they were brilliant , talking the team through the new variable pelmet system and giving them the confidence to install on their own . The pelmet makes a real difference

for us – it ’ s speedy to install , easy to transport and can be stored on sites much more easily than other products we have worked with .

The Global variable pelmet has been designed with versatility in mind , adapting to suit pitches from 12.5 ° - 35 ° and an impressive 300 – 1100mm depths . This makes it easy to accommodate varying valleys often seen in P and T-shaped structures where it is typically more difficult

to create a consistent look internally .

Monmouthshire Conservatory Company source the Global roof system from Polyframe , part of Customade Group , who offer the traditional conservatory system alongside alternative products like the lantern roofs , which are well suited to full structural orangeries .
