The results are in from an online poll by conservatory and extension specialist, Ultraframe, about whether homeowners prefer a traditional or modern orangery – with a resounding 74% choosing the modern style.

The contemporary orangery which took the vast majority of the votes was created using the Ultrasky roofing system, along with Super Insulated Columns and the flat Cornice to stunning effect.

Ultraframe Marketing Director, Alex Hewitt, said: “While there is certainly still a place for traditional orangeries, the modern orangery is suited to many more homes and fits perfectly with the strong, clean lines that are so popular in current home trends. The modern orangery image shown in our poll was a stunning example of what can be achieved with our Ultrasky roof.”

Not only does the Ultrasky roof create beautiful orangeries, but it’s also the strongest glazed roof on the market and can be fitted twice as fast as a traditional orangery roof – typically saving two days on site versus a traditional build. The system boasts 25% fewer bars than any other comparable system, meaning there is less profile and more glass to ensure maximum light in the room below, while the sleek design of the roof belies its astounding strength – Ultrasky is the strongest glazed roof on the market, capable of spans up to 8m wide. Not only this, but Ultrasky is also thermally broken inside and out for unrivalled thermal performance.

Alex concluded: “The results of this poll reinforce why promoting orangeries using our Ultrasky roof is a fantastic opportunity for our customers. We now have conclusive proof that 74% of homeowners prefer this style of orangery and when you couple this with its fantastic thermal, time-saving and strength benefits, Ultrasky is the ultimate choice for contemporary orangeries.”
