Orangeries Technical Information
The difference between an Orangery and conservatory is the plinth roof around the perimeter. This gives the room a more solid feel and is ideal for the modern demands of a solid room that still lets natural light in from above.
The Admiral Orangery has been developed along with our manufacturing partners to provide a modern solution to an age old design problem. This problem being how to marry two roofs, one in glass and part solid and prove the structural integrity. Our patented plinth system is approved, tested and guaranteed to satisfy both the regulations and the demands of any qualified structural engineer.
This Orangery system uses a unique and patented engineered aluminium ladder structure to form the roof. This has been tested and passed by building control for its structural integrity and will easily take the weight of several people if access is required.
The ladder structure is factory prepared to accept plasterboard internally and a range of decorative internal and external trims are used to complete the look.
The insulation is provided by using Celotex boarding to a depth of 100mm. EPDM membrane with a proven lifespan of 50 years is used to cover the roof externally.
With an aluminium lantern framing this makes the Admiral Orangery Roof completely maintenance free. You can even specify self cleaning glass to make life easier.
The roofing plinth often houses spotlighting to provide a very stylish internal finish to the room.
The whole building is completed in a few days…. no more time than a traditional conservatory, whereas a traditional timber constructed plinth and roof can take weeks to construct, adding to cost and discomfort during the build.
We also hand build plinths and orangery roof sections where required depending on design and site conditions.

to about 70% satisfaction. The installers were contracter’s that had no commitment to what they were doing and it showed. We needed a new set of patio doors, thinking here
we go again going to get another job done that I know I won’t be overall happy with. I passed Admiral Homespace by chance, popped in had a chat with one of the sales team
who was not a cheesy sales guy in fact nice and pleasant to talk with (good start). We arranged a site visit he came over I explained what I was after which was to limit the
amount of surround and centre join of the doors he offered me a new to the market product that gave a centre join of 20mm and minimal surround. To cut a long story short,
bought the product it has been fitted by an excellent team who are employed with the company so have vested interest in doing a good job which they did. overall from sales
to surveying to organising and fitting the whole team are excellent very professional and actually care, the fitters Andy & Wayne look genuinely pleased with the doors and the
fact I was so pleased. I would highly recommend them looking to get new windows fitted so am going back to them. Happy to pass on pictures to them to forward to potential
customers’
a very helpful sales process. We were able to move at a comfortable pace, arriving at the final solution, in a timely but very professional manner. All trades conducted themselves
in a very professional manner, on time and as described. Even late changes were accommodated without issue, we would have no hesitation in recommending Admiral and their
comprehensive professional approach throughout
Admiral installed our doors and windows in 2012. In 2026 our front door lock broke and the manufacturer didn't make them anymore nor had any spare parts !
Nadine and Andy road to our rescue. Andy researched a potential fix, Nadine ordered the parts and Andy promptly repaired our lock mechanism and then installed it back in the door.
Absolutely super service and support - even years after our initial install!
Admiral Homespace care for their customers !
and professionally and customer service is really important to me, particularly when I'm making a substantial purchase. I had a slight issue with the lock on my door and an engineer visit was arranged quickly and efficiently. The matter was resolved in a few minutes with a few adjustments. Very happy with the service.’
Installation went well and we are very happy with the result.
I'd definitely recommend Admiral Homespace to anyone looking for custom, handmade windows & doors for their project.
