Choosing the right conservatory for Slough property types

If you’re searching for conservatory styles Slough homeowners actually love, you’re in the right place. Slough has a real mix of property styles, from Victorian terraces and 1930s semis to modern new builds. The key to creating the perfect conservatory is choosing a style that suits both your home and how you want to use the space.

Whilst many are understandably drawn to the aesthetic value that comes with the ornate detailing of a Victorian conservatory, or the grandeur of the gable-style for example, modern conservatories have more considerations than just looks.

With today’s double glazing, strong frames and advanced insulation, your new conservatory can stay comfortable year-round. That means more living space, lower energy bills and an extra room you genuinely use, regardless of whether it’s a dining area, home office or relaxing space with views of your garden.

In this blog, we will outline a few of the market’s most popular styles, state which may be best suited to your home, and explore our vast range of extensions.

Replacement conservatories from Unique Glazing

If you already have an older conservatory that’s too hot in summer and freezing in winter, a conservatory replacement roof can transform it.

At Unique Glazing, we manufacture and install high-performance uPVC conservatories and aluminium designs in-house. That gives us full control over quality, price and lead times.

You can choose from:

• Glass roof designs for maximum light
• Solid roof or solid conservatory roof systems for better insulation
• Tiled, glazed or combination conservatory roofs
• Roof lanterns for dramatic light

Our A++ energy rated systems use advanced frames and double glazing with U-values as low as 1.1 W/m²K. That means less heat escaping, and lower energy bills. According to the Energy Saving Trust, up to 25% of heat can be lost through poor glazing, which shows why modern upgrades really matter.

You can also personalise your new conservatory with:

• Wide range of colours: white, anthracite grey, black, Chartwell green, woodgrain
• Strong frames for long life
• Bifold doors, patio doors or French doors
• Matching handles and hardware

All our work comes with insurance-backed 10-year guarantees for total peace of mind.
