What is an Edwardian Conservatory?
Edwardian conservatories are defined by their classic rectangular or square shape, creating a spacious and practical extension to your home. Compared with a Victorian conservatory (the UK’s most popular style), you’ll notice that Edwardian options are less elaborate, making them a great choice if you’re a fan of elegance and simplicity.
This minimalist approach is symbolic of the Edwardian era, where clean lines and symmetrical shapes took centre stage following the end of the more extravagant Victorian era.
The key features of an Edwardian conservatory include:
- Three-sided conservatory roof – Maximises headroom and allows for more natural light.
- Spacious floor plan – Ideal for furnishing as a dining area, lounge, or home office.
- Customisable design – Choose from decorative glass options, different door positions, and a variety of finishes.
- Versatile door configurations – French doors, patio doors, or bifold doors can be installed on any of the three walls.
- Your choice of roof – We give homeowners the choice of roofing options, including solar control polycarbonate and glass roof systems, with both particular designs promising excellent thermal efficiency for year-round usage.
- Dwarf walls – Provide a solid base and make the conservatory look like more of a natural extension by matching the colour of the house’s walls.

Energy Efficiency and Durability
uPVC frames and your choice of thermally efficient roofs work to effectively reduce heat transfer, meaning you’ll have a cooler conservatory in the summer and a warmer one in the winter – promising you a space that you can use all year round.
These materials are also incredibly durable, promising resistance against the elements.
Edwardian conservatories are generally viewed as more simplistic than Victorian conservatories.
