The Victorian is the most popular style of conservatory, with a versatility that makes it suitable for many house styles. Its distinguishing architectural features such as a bay front give a curved shape and a steeply pitched roof and ornate ridge details give this style of conservatory a more classical appearance.

The victorian style is available in:

• Three facet - a bay front that has three main windows that give a curved appearance, widely angled for maximum space.
• Five facet - a bay front with five main windows creating a more rounded appearance.

The Ultraframe Victorian style is available in a choice of two systems:

• Classic System - A distinguished and classical appearance, with its unmatched flexibility can cope with any roof configuration.
• Uzone system - Features unique boltless technology guaranteeing complete structural integrity. A more contemporary look with streamlined bar detail on the outside.

A flat fronted and gracefully understated variant of the Victorian conservatory.

Georgian conservatories offer a clean and simple look with strong bold lines.

The Georgian is a flat fronted style that offers excellent use of floor space due to the square edged internal shape.

Each side of the roof slopes back to the centre and the resulting contemporary style is suited to the majority of properties.

The Georgian style is available in the Classic system for a more traditional look , or the Uzone system for a property that suits a more contemporary style.

A gable fronted conservatory offers a distinctive and different alternative. When combined with a steeper pitched glass roof, they offer stunning looks that are unsurpassed.

This style of conservatory adds a sense of grandeur to any home. With a high roof slope and the same floor space as a Georgian, a gable offers excellent use of internal space. The front panel of the roof remains upright rather than sloping back to the ventre as on a Georgian, creating a feeling of great height within the conservatory.

The feeling of height and space ensures that your dream conservatory is a stunning space for you and your family to enjoy.

The gable fronted style is available in the Classic system.

The "lean-to" conservatory is also known as a sunroom, garden room or mediterranean conservatory. They are particularly suitable for bungalows or houses with height restrictions.

Traditional or contemporary, this style is ideal for properties with limited space under the eaves or an awkward area in which to fit a conservatory. The pitch of the roof is variable, so that a shallow pitch could fit under a low bungalow eaves, whilst a steeper pitch would match the roof of a terraced or detached house.

The lean-to style is available in the Classic and Uzone Elevation and Uzone Elevation Plus systems by Ultraframe.

Combining a mix of lean-to and Victorian styles, a "P"-shape conservatory is the ideal choice for the larger conservatory.

The lean-to section can feature a gable infill frame or can be hipped back.

A "P"-shape is ideal for creating maximum space whilst maintaining a sense of proportion applicable to the existing dwelling.

The ideal style for a larger conservatory, creating a versatile style that can be used as two different living areas. Due to the proportions needed to achieve a P-shape, this style is better suited to larger properties, giving an impressive result.

The larger shape is perfect as a room with a dual purpose such as lounge/dining area through to a family fun room.

The P shape style can be specified as either a three or five facet Victorian or Georgian design. It is available in the Ultraframe Classic System.

The "T"-shape allows maximisation of space and gives an attractive symmetrical appearance. A central projection highlights the shape and creates a "porch" effect to the conservatory.

The T shape is also better suited to larger properties due to the proportions needed. It's a combination style with a central projection that can be either a Victorian, Gable or Georgian.

A T-shape offers a large and versatile floor space and is an impressive addition to any home.

This style is available in the Classic system.

Q: We haven't seen the conservatory we want in any brochure. Does that mean we can't have it?
A: Since all conservatories are made to order, you can have anything that's physically achievable. Please contact us to discuss your requirements.

Q: Can I use my conservatory all year round?
A: Modern conservatories, with insulated bases and cavity walls which feature double-glazed units and a thermally efficient roof, can indeed be used all year round. The prudent use of relevant heating technology will also help. Comfort levels can be further enhanced with the use of "Ultraframe Conservaglass". This is a revolutionary new type of glazing that is specially developed to keep conservatories warm in Winter, by retaining heat, and cool in Summer by excluding solar radiation.

Q: Do we need Planning Permission or Building Regulation Approvals?
A: Probably not. Please contact us for confirmation

Planning Permission - Under new regulations that came into effect from 1 October 2008 adding a conservatory to your home is considered to be permitted development, not needing an application for planning permission, subject to various limits and conditions. Please contact us for clarification.

Building Regulations - Building regulations will generally apply if you want to build an extension to your home. However, conservatories are normally exempt when they meet a number of conditions. Contact us for details.

Q: Do we need to install Insulating Double Glazing Units (IGU's). and if so, which ones?
A: On April 1st 2002, the Government introduced Part L, amending the Building Regulations for the first time, to require replacement windows & doors to meet tough new thermal performance standards. The new standard applies when new doors replace an existing window or you change the doors between the house and the conservatory, but not when you keep the existing lockable French doors or patio doors between house and conservatory. Ultraframe Conservaglass offers a better combination of warmth in winter and reduction in summertime solar heat gain than standard "low e" sealed units.

Q: The neighbours are not friendly, how can we protect our privacy?
A: Conservatories can be made private by the thoughtful use of obscure glass, solid panels at the side, blinds or even a solid wall on one side.

Q: What style of conservatory can an Ultraframe roofing system produce?
A: Since all conservatories are made to order, you can have anything that's physically achievable. A chat with South Lakes Windows Ltd can open up possibilities you may never even have dreamed of!

Q: We've got an odd shaped space/an unusual wall/a sloping garden - can we still have a conservatory?
A: Contact South Lakes WIndows Ltd and we will be able to help. By using a system as flexible as the Ultraframe roofing system there's always a solution and chances are we'll come up with several alternatives.
