Victorian Conservatory Roofs

The most traditional conservatory style produced today in the UK

The Victorian conservatory roof can be firmly traced back to the elaborate Victorian styles incorporated in many public and private buildings seen across parks and landscapes in Britain.

The Victorian roof is based on the styles seen during Queen Victoria's reign from 1837 to 1901, a time of great change in the home.

Mass production meant more goods were available to buy and the newly emerging middle classes took great pride in their homes which they saw as a reflection of status. This elaborate and flamboyant style carried through many areas of construction particularly the design of glass roofs.

The Victorian conservatory roof has distinguishing architectural features such as a bay front, steeply pitched roof and ornate ridge details.

Style variations can include a 3-facet Victorian where the bay front has three main windows, widely angled for maximum space and is suitable for the majority of locations or a 5-facet Victorian which is a bay front with five main windows, creating a pleasing period profile with a subtle rounded appearance which offers the ideal blend of space and classical looks.

As with all conservatory roofs manufactured, they are constructed using the leading Ultraframe system.
