Conservatories & Orangeries
A room with a view.
Live luxuriously in natural surroundings with the addition of a conservatory or an orangery. Regardless of your choice, you will elevate your home’s atmosphere and worth, all the while enlarging your living area and infusing your indoors with an abundance of natural light.
Originally conceived as havens for tropical flora and bountiful fruits, conservatories and orangeries have evolved into veritable extensions of your residence, providing a fresh realm for entertaining, relaxation, or fostering connections.
Conservatories
Transforming a mere room into a captivating space with a view, a well-considered and expertly crafted conservatory can elevate your home experience while simultaneously boosting its value. By introducing an influx of natural light and an extension of your living area, conservatories serve as versatile additions to your home.
Conservatories come in an array of styles, making them suitable for various purposes such as an additional living room, a games haven, or even an inspiring studio. Whether you lean towards a contemporary or traditional aesthetic, as Independent Network members we are here to guide you through the myriad possibilities.

Subtle design distinctions set Orangeries apart from contemporary Conservatories. These distinctions include a more substantial brickbuilt frame, conventional walls, a reduced number of windows, and a classic solid roof, often adorned with skylights.
Whether envisioned as a dining area, a secondary lounge, or a dedicated hobby room, an Orangery has the potential to significantly enhance your living quarters.

Safe & Secure
For enhanced security and peace of mind, all VEKA systems meet PAS24 and the Secured by Design (SBD) standard.
PAS 24 is a standard of testing to measure the security performance of windows and doors to ensure they can resist a level of attack from an opportunist burglar. Secured by Design (SBD) is an initiative that organises accreditation for products on behalf of the Police. To be awarded an SBD Standard, the product must meet requirements to prevent crime to a ‘Police Preferred Specification’.
Making Your Home More Energy Efficient
The windows and doors in your property are just one part of the puzzle when it comes to achieving an energy efficient home.
The energy performance of a window or door is influenced by a wide range of factors, so it’s not easy to gauge by just looking at how it’s made. Fortunately, there’s a rating scheme to help you find the best one.
The energy efficiency of each window or door is categorised using an energy-rating scale from A++ to E. The complete product (frame and glass) is assessed to allow for heat loss, draughts and solar gain, giving a rating that indicates the overall impact of installing the product in your home.
U-Values
You may see a U-Value quoted on a product’s energy label or promotional materials. This is a measure of how easily heat passes through the product and contributes to how efficient the product is. But this is not the complete measure of efficiency, and you need to take the overall energy label rating when considering the product’s energy saving potential.
Sustainability
Not all plastic is bad. When it comes to windows and doors, uPVC is the most energy efficient amongst its peers. Plastic is an insulator unlike wood which is porous, whilst aluminium can cause thermal bridging and increased condensation. The window and door industry has made huge strides in the recycling and reuse of uPVC; it has given old frames a value, so they avoid simply being scrapped in the nearest skip.
A typical uPVC window frame lasts around 35 years, and it can then be recycled up to ten times, giving it a true lifespan of 350 years.* After that, it can then be made into other things that don’t require such high quality uPVC. Imagine what your window could be one day.
VEKA plc is committed to creating sustainable systems and in 2022 recycled content accounted for 28% off all total uPVC extruded.
*According to the Building Research Establishment (BRE)
British Engineering Backed by German Quality.
Headquartered in Germany and family owned since 1969, VEKA has been leading the global development of uPVC window systems for over 50 years. VEKA UK is in the historic mill town Burnley, Lancashire, where it designs, engineers and extrudes high quality systems, using its own unique mix of uPVC.
VEKA is just one part of a window’s journey to your home. Skilled fabricators and installers add their stamp of quality and craftsmanship, to bring products that create the perfect HomeLifeStyle.
