Lean-To
The lean-to conservatory roof can be used to create a separate sun room or added to extensions to provide more natural light. This style offers one of the simplest glazed roof solutions for bungalows and porches.
Whether in traditional or contemporary settings, a lean-to is ideal for homes that have limited space under the eaves, such as a bungalow, or an area that's too difficult to home a conservatory, because the pitch of the roof on a lean-to can vary.
GABLE END CONSERVATORY
Sharing many characteristics with the Edwardian, gable end conservatories feature a traditional apex pitched roof combined with a striking front elevation, being fully glazed right up to the apex.
Often called the 'sunburst effect', the front of gable end conservatories gives the appearance of the rising of the sun, and the gable roof gives a grand and stunning impact, both inside and out.
DOUBLE-HIPPED
Featuring a pitched roof on both sides, a double-hipped conservatory shape allows natural daylight to flood in and offers a striking addition to any home.
Installing Liniar bi-fold doors will give your double-hipped conservatory an additional 'wow' factor!
COMBINATION
A combination conservatory can bring a bespoke touch to your home, with two high performance glazed roof shapes bought together to create a unified space for you and your family. Combining shapes may be the perfect solution for maximising your available garden space and complementing your property.
To make the conservatory more divided, why not combine the Victorian with a lean-to shape, resulting in a P-shaped conservatory?
For larger homes, a T-shaped conservatory could work well - a combination that features a central projection and can be Victorian, Edwardian or Gable. Contact your chosen Liniar supplier to find out all the options avaiable.
EDWARDIAN CONSERVATORY
Featuring a square or rectangular shape, the Edwardian conservatory is the ideal shape for furnishing internally, leaving you with no wasted space.
Originally built on homes from the 18th and early 19th centuries, the style has been replicated on many neo-Georgian properties since.
The Edwardian conservatory style borrows features from Green and Roman architecture, as many ruins were discovered during the period and the design was quickly copied at the time.
VICTORIAN
One of the most popular conservatory styles and similar to the Edwardian, a multi-faceted Victorian conservatory can add traditional elegance to any home for those not wanting a square or rectangular shape.
Love for conservatories blossomed in the UK during the Victorian era, due to their love of exotic plants and foliage necessitating a way of keeping the plants alive during the cold winter months.
Attractive and versatile, Victorian conservatories can be designed to suit the space you have available - from a large garden to a small patio.

Conservatory FAQs
Does a Liniar conservatory come as a ready-to-assemble kit?
A full conservatory is made up of walls, windows, doors and a roof, so these are all made or built to order once your detailed, bespoke plans have been confirmed. Constructing a conservatory is a specialist job and we recommend seeking expert advice before finalising or ordering your conservatory. Liniar roofs make life simple for installers, as everything is cut to the correct length and supplied with everything needed to fit them, adding the perfect finishing touch to your conservatory with minimal fuss.
Does the Liniar conservatory roof contain any patented innovations?
Yes! The ingenious patented Glazing Stop retainer means installers never have to deal with glass slippage, either when fitting or afterwards - a common problem with other conservatory roof systems. In addition, patented memory foam seals offer a weathertight finish against the worst of the British weather.
What is a top cap and why do I need them on my conservatory roof?
A top cap adds a neat, clean finish to the roof bars that make up your roof, and can be foiled to match the rest of the conservatory for a seamless appearance. Top caps can be made from either aluminium or uPVC - Liniar's EnergyPlus top caps are double-walled for better insulating properties with added strength.
Why are EnergyPlus top caps better than other top caps?
Aluminium top caps for conservatory roofs are generally not as energy efficient as uPVC top caps, due to the generic insulating properties of both materials. Most other uPVC roof top caps are made from a single walled section of uPVC and can be flimsy and more difficult to cut. Liniar EnergyPlus top caps include twin, multi-chambered walls which trap heat and prevent its transfer, helping to keep your conservatory a comfortable temperature all year round.
Do I need planning permission to build a conservatory?
A single-storey building such as a conservatory is generally considered to be 'permitted development' and is therefore not usually subject to planning permission*, as long as it is less than 4m high (or 3m high if it's built within 2m of a boundary). Its footprint must also be less than 50% in size of the total area around the original house and it must not be wider than the residence it will be attached to.
*Always check the latest Planning regulations before going ahead with a conservatory build.
Isn't a uPVC conservatory old-fashioned?
In the 1980s and 1990s, conservatories became the ultimate home improvement addition - but they were usually made from white uPVC and early versions were not very energy efficient, meaning they were too hot in the summer and too cold in the winter. Times have changed, with technological advancements meaning a conservatory can not only be considered as an additional room without requiring planning permission* it can also look modern and sleek by using colour and contemporary options.
