A CONSERVATORY also called an orangery, a hothouse, sunroom, solarium, garden room or a greenhouse was already created a few centuries ago. As it turns out, the sixteenth century "winter houses for plants" originated the contemporary conservatories, whose application is much wider than the protection of citruses against frost. It is an attractive way to increase the usable area of a buildings, to enhance attractiveness of an object and at the same time, to improve its energy balance. Since the existing construction technology for conservatories is highly developed, conservatories are gaining more and more popularity and they can be found almost in every geographical conditions. The diversity of solutions and constructions allows for designing and constructing conservatories according to individual preferences. The type of the decor depends on the concept, the area of the room and the needs. A conservatory is a warm, glazed and sunroom, which one can enjoy regardless of the season every day. An orangery increases quality of our life. It creates an impression of a direct connection with the nature and the landscape regardless of the weather.

Each conservatory has to have a well-made structure in order to be durable and resistant to extreme weather conditions. It is on the quality of the applied elements and the method of their connecting that smooth functioning of conservatories depends. Any orangery has to have a proper ventilation as well as a tight and robust structure. We build aluminium conservatories. The aluminium structure provides very good geometry, stiffness and durability that results in a very high resistance to deformations. Aluminium constructions are also very aesthetic.

More about aluminium profiles specification You can find on technology section: aluminium profiles systems.

If a conservatory is supposed to serve also in winter, it is possible to apply profiles with a thermal barrier (plastic insert).

While deciding on a conservatory, one should get acquainted with some important information. It is a solid foundation that is the basis of any long-lasting conservatory. The foundation must be correctly insulated against moisture and heat. An existing terrace can be used as a base of the conservatory, however its surface cannot crack and crumble. Each conservatory requires good ventilation. This function is very well fulfilled by a window, which can be opened, at the highest point of the conservatory that prevents hot air accumulation. Ventilation grilles can be also installed near the floor. It is the best to apply panes with a high light and a low heat transmission coefficient for orangeries. On the roof is used and tempered safety glass or polycarbonate.
