What is a Victorian Conservatory?

The Victorian conservatory is the most traditional conservatory style, and it suits all house types, from period to modern contemporary. Sometimes referred to as Victorian sun-rooms. The Victorian conservatory style can consist of a three-facet or a five-facet design which includes a bay front, a pitched roof with ornate ridge details and a faceted or rounded appearance. Our Victorian conservatories are made with extra space and light in mind. These stunning period style conservatories can be modified to fit the shape of your garden without giving up its design. If you are looking to add this to your home, you can reflect the internal style to your taste, whilst keeping the exterior in its traditional beauty.

Our Victorian conservatories are designed to stay warm in the winter and cool in the summer so you have a beautiful, light-filled space you can enjoy all year round. Our glazing reflects enough sun rays away to keep your room cooler, while the coating on the inside of the glass reflects heat back into your home. Plus, our multi-chambered profiles and argon-filled glass traps the heat, keeping you comfortably warm.

What roof can I have on a Victorian conservatory?

At Everest, we give you the choice of 3 distinctive roof types for your new Victorian conservatory.

Glass conservatory roof

A very common option when designing a new conservatory is to choose a glass roof. Glass conservatory roofs consist of large glass panels that provide copious amounts of natural light into your home, even on an overcast day, compared to polycarbonate or tiled roofs. Everest conservatory glass roofs have superior solar control eco clean glass, which will help to keep your conservatory cooler in the summer and make it easier to keep clean.

Livin'roof

Livin'roof combines solid and glazed roofing seamlessly for a stylish look and thermally efficient room. The Livinroof roofing system is constructed from insulated composite external panels and high-performance PU board insulation. These are strong and robust, and totally thermally efficient. Glazed panels can be inserted to replace almost any of the roofing panels to maximise light and produce a contemporary feel that is not easily achievable with other types of roofing systems.

Tiled conservatory roof

Our tiled roof extensions are specially engineered to maximise the amount of glass, but still have the strength and stability built in to support a tiled roof. The sturdy insulated roof panels give superior thermal performance and comply with all current building regulations. With the added option of full height glass panels in the roof, you can let in natural light where required, creating the best of all possible worlds.
