Conservatory Styles For Glasgow Homes

Written byCharlotte Pemberton, Design Specialist

Six conservatory styles suit the housing stock across Glasgow and the west of Scotland. Each is available with a glass, hybrid or fully insulated warm roof.

Victorian Conservatory

A Victorian conservatory is a bay-fronted conservatory with three or five facets, a steep pitched roof and an ornate ridge.

Best for: Period sandstone and Victorian terraced homes across the West End and Southside.

Three or five facet bay front
Steep roof pitch sheds Glasgow rain quickly
Suits traditional stone and render elevations

Typical Glasgow price from £16,500

Edwardian Conservatory

An Edwardian conservatory is a square or rectangular conservatory with a flat front elevation and a hipped pitched roof.

Best for: Homeowners who want maximum usable floor area for furniture.

Square plan gives more usable floor space
Simple lines suit 1930s and post-war housing
Works well with a solid tiled roof conversion

Typical Glasgow price from £15,800

Lean-To Conservatory

A lean-to conservatory is a single-pitch conservatory with a sloping roof fixed against the house wall.

Best for: Semi-detached homes, bungalows and gardens with limited depth.

Lowest cost per square metre
Fits under first-floor windows and low eaves
Clean contemporary look in anthracite grey

Typical Glasgow price from £12,400

Orangery

An orangery is a masonry-framed room with a flat perimeter roof and a central glazed lantern.

Best for: Open-plan kitchen-diners that need to feel like part of the house.

Brick or blockwork piers with insulated perimeter
Central lantern delivers daylight without heat loss
Plastered internal ceiling takes downlights

Typical Glasgow price from £28,000

Garden Room

A garden room is a fully insulated detached or attached room with conventional walls and a solid roof.

Best for: Home offices, gyms and year-round living space in Scottish winters.

Insulated walls, floor and roof throughout
Comfortable at any point in the Scottish year
Detached versions often avoid a warrant

Typical Glasgow price from £19,500

Warm Roof Replacement

A warm roof replacement swaps an existing polycarbonate or glass conservatory roof for an insulated tiled roof.

Best for: Existing conservatories that are too cold in winter and too hot in summer.

Typically installed in five to eight working days
Roof U-value improves from around 2.6 to 0.15 W/m²K
Existing frames and base are normally retained

Typical Glasgow price from £8,900
