Bryant & Cairns | The Conservatory has EVOLVED! | Modern Conservatories | Edinburgh Conservatories
17th May 2019
The simple conservatory has changed. It's evolved from that simple glass box at the rear of your Edinburgh house into a seamless extension of the home, a perfect space to be used throughout the year!
It’s true that many older conservatory products are prone to be too cold in the Edinburgh winter and too warm in the summer. Thankfully, recent technical advancements mean there are multiple new styles and options to choose from, from solid roof extensions to contemporary orangeries with beautiful modern detailing, all ensuring there will be a design to suit your needs and be the perfect space for your family to use all year round.
It needn't be difficult to decide either. Here at Bryant and Cairns we do what we can to ensure the process of finding the right style is easy. Don't worry if you still want that classic conservatory style, the Victorian or Edwardian are still here, just bigger and better with such improvements like thermally efficient SMARTGlass roofs.
In this article we break down the options available to you into our easy to navigate, Conservatory Extension Guide.
CLASSIC CONSERVATORY
You can't beat a classic and that's why we still champion the traditional conservatory styles whilst ensuring they meet and excel in todays thermal requirements. The Classic Conservatory incorporates the latest technologies in roof and glazing design and can be complimented with a range of optional extras, such as SMARTGlass plus roof glazing.
Choose from traditional or contemporary styles and bring your garden into your home by using full height glazing and French Doors.
DESIGNER CONSERVATORY
Bringing the traditional conservatory into the 21st Century, the Designer Conservatory brings all the elegance and feel of the Classic Conservatory, but with the inclusion of the plastered perimeter ceiling pelmet, which automatically improves thermal performance. With the option to make a wider and completely filled with mineral wool insulation, this gives the look and feel of “a real room” particularly with the fitment of lights or speakers.
Choose from a range of decoration cornices to add shape and style to the outside while hiding the gutters. Additional options like a central lighting panel and bespoke colours can further personalise your living space.
Selecting a colour profile like Anthracite Grey finishes the look and gives a stunning mix of contemporary and traditional.
PERFORMANCE CONSERVATORY
The performance conservatory features the latest super-insulated column technology which is five times more thermally efficient than standard brick columns and quick to install. The inclusion of the decorative cornice gutter shroud gives the sense of grandeur to the conservatory externally and internally, the plastered columns and insulated perimeter ceiling pelmets gives a cosy feel to the room. Stunning to look at with a superior thermal performance, you will enjoy this conservatory all year round.
CLASSIC ORANGERY
The Classic Orangery is made up from the combination of solid brick pillars, a performance glass roof with internal insulated pelmet as standard and a range of traditional finishing touches.
The internal pelmet offers additional thermal properties whilst also allowing the introduction of internal lighting and or embedded speaker system.
Finish your Orangery in style with decorative cornices to carefully conceal the guttering and match the current look of your home.
CONTEMPORARY ORANGERY
The Contemporary Orangery features the Ultraframe Classic Roof, super insulated columns and a hidden structured goal post. This specification allows for large openings of bi-fold or sliding doors and combines fresh modern styling with the latest in glazed roof technology.
It’s discrete strength keeps the ridge and the roof bars surprisingly slender and with fewer bars the design has more light. The Ultraframe Classic Roof is the best way to build stunning Orangeries to inspire and impress. The structural goal post which is concealed within the roof carries this load over large door openings or large spans of glass, letting more light flood into the room. Super insulated columns gives five times more thermal efficiency than traditional brick pillars, adding style and solidity for a unique modern design.
LANTERN ORANGERY
Unrivalled strength gives our S1 Roof Light slim line simplicity and an undeniable elegance, while the thermally broken ridge helps eliminate condensation so you can enjoy cosy comfort all year round.
As beautiful as it is practical, the S1 Rooflight has a 25 degree pitch to all 4 sides, providing a stunning addition to any room, ideal for creating a focal point in a dining room or kitchen.
The S1 Lantern offers sizes ranging from 2.4 up to an impressive 6m long.
WARMROOF SOLID TILED ROOF EXTENSION

It’s finished on the outside with beautiful and authentic looking lightweight tiles, available in three colour finishes to match or contrast your home, insert full glassed panels to flood your home with light and create a stunning feature.
LIVINROOF EXTENSION
