The Difference Between A Garden Room And Conservatory/Orangery 

There are so many reasons to invest in a garden room rather than another structure, let's take a look at just some of the advantages below.

Temperature Control And Insulation

Traditional Conservatories and Orangeries have a nature to be extremely hot in the warmer months, due to the sun shining through the glass structure heating up the room.

Conversely the exact opposite occurs in the cold winter months, as the room struggles to retain heat. As a result, it may be too cold and uncomfortable to sit in without heating, creating increased energy costs.

VITA Modulars stunning garden rooms are not just a room in the garden, they have insulation, ventilation, and additional extras such as air conditioning and underfloor heating.

As our garden room materials are of excellent quality, no additions are needed to create a warm room in the winter and a cool room in the summer.

Privacy

By having a completely separate building from the home that is still in close proximity, adds an element of privacy.

Being able to enter a room that is peaceful, private, and shut off from the world around, helps you to do anything of your preference with no distractions, in your own garden space.

Unlike the Conservatory or Orangery attached to the home, the increasingly popular stand alone garden room is an escape to do anything you want. Whether that be yoga, working out in the gym, reading, painting and drawing or simply a place to relax.

Security

Having a dream garden room that is separated from the home, may raise the question of security, especially if you have personal goods inside of high value.

Fortunately, the doors have locks to maintain high security. To further set your mind at rest, the content insurance that belongs to your home, covers all items within your garden room too.

Another security benefit is that all our VITA Modular garden rooms are fireproof. 

Soundproofing

If the maximum amount of peace and quiet is what you desire, then our VITA Modular garden rooms are the perfect solution.

Our garden rooms offer interior soundproofing, meaning outside noise will not disrupt your activities inside.

Additionally, if you want to make noise in your garden room, then you can. The sound will only be heard within the garden space's four walls, and it won't be audible to neighbours, or anyone in close proximity to your outdoor space.

This is a positive for those who like listening to music or playing an instrument.

Additionally, garden rooms are ideal if you are working from home and need a quiet place to concentrate. There will consequently be no noise from family members, kitchen appliances or the TV.

Uses 

Due to the nature of Conservatories and Orangeries allowing in lots of warmth, in most cases they are unsuitable to transform into a kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, office and so on.

Quite often many homeowners will require additional space in their home but not have the money to move. This is where garden rooms are the perfect option!

Garden rooms tend to be an extension of your main home when it comes to the interior and can be a replica of any room in the house.

VITA Modular garden rooms allow for plumbing, heating, electric accessories, as well as different types of flooring and any form of décor.

Therefore, whether you are looking to add another bathroom, kitchen, living room, guest room, bedroom, additional living space, playroom or garden office to your property, VITA Modular is ready to help with the building process.


Lighting And Natural Light

Some choose to use their garden room as a cinema room or living room that offers more space and room for a TV.

Using Conservatories and Orangeries for these purposes, would offer too much light and reflections from the double glazed, large windows. This then creates difficulty with screen glare and visual struggles.

A garden room however, has windows and doors to let in partial amounts of natural light, but due to the solid roof and building process, there is reduced lighting which allows for the perfect cinematic experience.

If you are looking to create a cinema room that offers a complete blackout experience for watching your favourite films, VITA Modular can arrange for curtains and or blinds to be fitted.

Summary

Orangeries, garden rooms and Conservatories, are considerably different when it comes to creating the extra space within your garden.

Consider the cost of a Conservatory and Orangery and compare the prices to a garden room. You will be surprised at how much a garden room is more economically efficient when compared to a Conservatory and Orangery.

Finally, when searching for a room that offers as much natural light as possible and extra space on your property, consider the above garden room benefits, and talk to VITA Modular today.
