- Georgian Conservatories
A Georgian conservatory may be just what you’ve been searching for if you want to give your house more room, light and serious curb appeal. The Georgian design has been popular among UK residents for many years due to its graceful symmetry, clean square footprint and timeless appeal.
In the UK, Glitz Windows creates and installs custom Georgian conservatories that are designed to your specifications using high-performance materials and FENSA-certified installation as standard.
What Is a Georgian Conservatory?
Georgian-style conservatories are inspired by the grand architecture of 18th and 19th-century Britain and they are characterized by such features as Palladian columns, classical Greek and Roman details and the neat and beautiful elegance of the Georgian style. In terms of home extensions, this style is represented by a rectangular or square shape, flat fronted, high-pitched roof with a hip front and beautiful symmetry.
The most identifiable feature is the multi-paned glazing, with rows of smaller glass sections separated by narrow glazing bars. You can place furniture anywhere without awkward corners.
Year-Round Comfort: Thermal Efficiency in a Modern Georgian Conservatory
One of the major concerns homeowners have about conservatories is that they will be freezing in winter and boiling in summer. This is simply not true with regard to conservatories built in 2026.
Our Georgian style conservatories are glazed with A-rated energy-efficient glazing as standard. This includes argon-filled double or triple glazing with low-e glass, which reflects heat back into the room during winter and solar control glass, which prevents overheating during summer.
- A-rated Double or Triple Glazing as Standard
- Argon Filled Sealed Units
- Solar Control Glass
- Prevents Overheating in Summer
- Thermally Broken Frame Profiles
This means you can use your new room all year round, not just on sunny days.
Georgian Conservatory With a Solid Tiled Roof: The Orangery-Style Option
However, if you want the best thermal efficiency and the feeling of solidity, then perhaps the best choice would be the solid roof Georgian conservatory. This works because, instead of the traditional glass or plastic roofing, the conservatory will be equipped with a solid roof, which will be topped with a roof lantern to ensure natural light penetration. This, in essence, will be like having an orangery, which combines the qualities of a conservatory and an extension. Not only will the conservatory be like any other room in the house, which can be plastered and painted, but it will also be more energy efficient than the traditional glazed conservatory.

Benefits of Georgian Conservatories
The Georgian conservatory has the advantage of classic elegance and contemporary functionality. This is why many UK homeowners choose this style:
Maximises Usable Living Space
The rectangular or square shape makes the absolute most of each and every square metre. With straight walls on all sides, one can place their furniture anywhere in the room, as there will be no awkward corners or wasted space. Whether one uses the space as a dining area, home office, or sunroom, the layout just works!
Adds Real Property Value
A well-built Georgian conservatory is the real deal. It extends the footprint of the home, raises the energy rating and makes the home more desirable, which directly correlates with property value. A well-built conservatory can increase your home’s appeal and potentially add value.
Energy Efficient and Comfortable All Year Round
With A-rated glass, argon-filled units and thermally broken frames, our Georgian conservatories are not only energy efficient but also comfortable to use throughout the year. Unlike old designs, you are not limited to using it only in summer. With solar control glass, you can enjoy it in summer as well.
Low Maintenance
Our uPVC and aluminium frames, which are two of our preferred frame materials, are also incredibly low maintenance. No painting, rotting, or warping is required. Simply wipe it a couple of times a year to keep it looking brand new.
Natural Light Throughout the Day
With a multi-paned window design, you can let in plenty of natural light from all directions. This not only reduces your dependency on artificial lighting during the day but also creates a wonderful space that is filled with light and makes you feel good about being in it.
Planning Permission Usually Not Required
Most Georgian conservatories are not subject to any restrictions in terms of planning permission. If you are looking to create a space that is within the standard size and positioning limits, you could end up enjoying a brand new space in a matter of weeks from when you decide to go ahead.
UK Building Regulations, Planning Permission and FENSA Certification
However, before installing, it’s crucial to establish your obligations. Most conservatories are included in permitted development, which means no planning permission is required if the structure is below 30 square meters, separated from the main dwelling by external quality doors and the boundary limits are adhered to. However, it’s always recommended to contact the local planning authority before commencing the project.
All installations are done by FENSA-certified installers, ensuring your windows and doors meet the requirements of the current building regulations and include the documentation required for insurance and resale.
- FENSA-Certified Installation on All Projects
- Complies with UK Building Regulations – Part L Thermal & Part K Safety Glazing Regulations
- 10-Year Guarantee on Frames, Glazing and Workmanship
- Documentation Supplied for Insurance and Resale Purposes

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What shape is a Georgian conservatory?
A Georgian conservatory features a square or rectangular shape with a flat front, maximising usable space and creating a clean, symmetrical look.
Do Georgian conservatories require planning permission?
Most likely, no. Most conservatories are classified as “permitted development,” which means they are allowed without needing planning permission, as long as they are not too large (i.e., do not cover more than half of the land around the original house). If you live in a listed building or conservation area, this does not necessarily apply. The team at Glitz Windows will help you through this.
Can I use my Georgian conservatory in the winter?
Absolutely. By employing modern double-glazing units and thermally broken frames, our Georgian conservatories can be used all year round. You may also choose to add underfloor heating or a solid roof to make it as warm as any other room in your home.
How long does installation take?
A standard installation should take between 2 to 4 weeks, depending upon whether you are building a brand new dwarf wall or installing onto an existing structure. We endeavour to cause minimal disruption to your home.
What is the difference between Georgian and Edwardian styles?
Georgian and Edwardian conservatories both use a square footprint to maximize space. The main difference is the glass: Georgian styles feature traditional multi-paned ‘Georgian bars’ for a period look, while Edwardian styles typically use larger, clear panes for a more minimalist feel.
