Here are some tips on the <a href="http://www.orangery.co.uk/hardwood_oak.htm">design</a> of an orangery and the <a href="http://www.orangery.co.uk/guild_of_master_craftsmen.htm">building</a> of an orangery. <p>An orangery is often selected in preference to a conservatory as it offers more privacy with more solid wall surfaces built into them and, instead of a complete glass roof, a flat roof with strategically placed roof lanterns built into it. Thus they make ideal kitchen or dining area extensions particularly if the site is overlooked.<h4>Orangery Roof</h4>The <a href="http://www.orangery.co.uk/kitchen_orangery.htm">flat roof of an Orangery</a> was traditionally finished in lead which acquired a lovely patina over time, but which today can be prohibitively expensive to install. The alternative is a flat roof made from modern materials; but you should choose one with a manufacturers guarantee or else you will find that the roof will need repairing or replacing from time-to-time.  Whatever type of roof you choose, it can be inset with single or multiple glazed roof lanterns. A single roof lantern will be like a glass atrium and flood the room with natural light, while you can use multiple roof lanterns to focus light onto work or dining areas depending on your preferences. The flat roof will also enable you to install modern downlighters and if these are controlled by dimmer switches, you can create subtle lighting and intimate spaces.<p>People that live in the UK in a <a href="http://www.rbkc.gov.uk/InterestingPlaces/KensingtonPalace/default.asp">Grade I or II Listed Building</a> in a Conservation Area or in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, will usually need <a href="http://www.orangery.co.uk/planning_permission.htm">Planning Permission</a> before building a conservatory, orangery or other extension.
