Planning a conservatory: styles, glass and building regs

14 July 2025 · Lifetime Glazing

The right conservatory style depends on the shape of your home and how you want to use the space. Victorian and Edwardian designs suit period frontages; lean-to and P-shaped work best on modern or extended rears.

Year-round usability comes down to glass. Self-cleaning solar-control roof glass keeps the space cooler in summer and warmer in winter, and A-rated frames minimise heat loss through the sides.

Most domestic conservatories under 30m² are exempt from full building regulations, but there are conditions - we handle the checks and any FENSA certification as part of every install.
