Oak Orangery by Timberpride

Choosing an Oak Framed Orangery

An oak orangery gives your living space a refresh, offering the feeling of a new home while keeping the comfort of the place you know and love.

With a similar look to conservatories, orangeries were originally used for growing fruit, but now serve a wide range of uses. An oak orangery kitchen extension is a popular choice, bringing everyone together in a room filled with natural light.

We’re dedicated to bringing you the best, and our certifications prove it. Our UKCA Marking, Q Mark, and Visual Strength Grading for Hardwood certifications apply across all designs, from oak conservatories and orangeries to log stores.

With plenty of experience in oak framed extensions and  bringing bespoke oak orangery designs from concept to reality, we’re excited to help make your vision a beautiful addition to your home.

Extras To Consider When Installing An Oak Frame With Us

What is fixed face glazing?

We glaze our Oak frames using air-dried English oak cover boards to clamp glass in place, forming a weathertight seal by compressing closed cell memory foam between the oak and the glass. The method allows the timber to flex slightly, enabling it to move up to 6mm without causing any bending stress on the glass.

The benefit of this glazing method is the complete coverage of the internal mortise and tenon joints, shielding them from outside weather conditions.

The Benefits of Choosing Timberpride

Choosing Timberpride for your oak orangery means choosing quality. By sourcing timber from British forests, we ensure you receive exactly what you need, on time, without delays from overseas shipments. We know the history of each tree, and the forests we work with have management plans in place to keep woodlands thriving for generations to come.

We are proud that nothing is wasted. Only the bark and slabbing boards, pieces too small or rotten knot pockets which can’t be used are chipped to fire our biomass boiler, heating the workshop, office and kiln.

Every frame is made from hand-selected green oak, meeting D30 or D40 grading standards, with D40 representing the top strength grade available for oak in the UK.

Frequently Asked Questions

An orangery and a conservatory are similar but have some differences. Traditionally, an orangery would feature a lantern roof and be used for growing fruit and vegetables, and it’s also often smaller than a conservatory. That said, the terms are often used interchangeably—this is especially the case for an oak framed conservatory or orangery, as they share design features.

The same applies to oak sun rooms and oak garden rooms. For instance, an oak garden room is traditionally detached from the house whilst an orangery is attached, but if you’d like an attached garden room or a detached orangery, we can make it happen!

An orangery extension is a more cost-effective option than a conventional extension, as it requires less structural work and can often be built within permitted development rights. However, it still provides a beautifully functional living space that adds value to your home.

Planning permission isn’t always required for an orangery, but it depends on factors like its size, height, and your property type. Timberpride will assist you with planning permission and building regulations approval to make sure everything is handled smoothly.

An oak orangery can significantly increase your home’s value by adding unique style, extra space, and functionality. Many homeowners find that an orangery can add up to 5–10% to their property’s value, making it a great investment.
