Edwardian Conservatories North East And Cumbria

Edwardian conservatories are an excellent option for adding valuable extra space to your home. Like Victorian conservatories, the Edwardian conservatory has a strikingly pointed roof which creates a spacious feeling and sits well with properties of all ages.

Edwardian conservatories are extremely popular due to their versatility and the way that the practicality of their design blends effortlessly with elegance. The Edwardian conservatory still retails plenty of charm when built using a range of materials due to the classic sleek, sharp lines that are synonymous with the period.

Edwardian Conservatory design

The bold, strong lines of Edwardian conservatories can give them a formal (and spacious) feel that makes them perfectly suited to older properties. It is possible to apply an Edwardian conservatory to a more modern building, but they are not suited to modern bungalows due to their high, sloping roof.

Typical Edwardian conservatories will be rectangular or square in shape, with a high roof sloping down from a central ridge. The lack of irregular shapes in the design makes this style of conservatory cheaper to build as components are easier to manufacture.

Evolving from and bridging the gap between modern designs and the classic style of the Victorian era, the simplicity of design found in Edwardian conservatories allows for a happy compromise between the style and elegance of Victorian conservatories and the practicality of modern designs. As mentioned they also make fantastic use of space.

Obviously perfectly suited to properties of the Edwardian era, ever since the start of the 20th century this style of conservatory has remained incredibly popular.

The higher sloping roof though does not lend itself to construction on a modern day bungalow. The rectangular shape of the Edwardian conservatory gives them several important advantages over other period styles.

Excellent Shape

The basic shape means that they are easier and therefore cheaper to build. With no irregular shapes to construct the design means that components can be easily and cheaply manufactured. The simplicity of the design also means that there are fewer potential issues to deal with. The simple design also means that the space inside can be utilised that much more efficiently.

The Edwardian style effectively provides a nice compromise between the stylish and elegant Victorian conservatories and newer practical ones. Since the beginning of the twentieth century this style of conservatory has remained as popular as ever, particularly with properties built from that period.
