Planning
Stratton Glass and Windows have been trading since 1979. Over the years we have collated a great knowledge with regard to the planning requirements on conservatories.
The majority of conservatories don’t require planning due to the relaxed permitted developments. However, our trained staff can assess the requirement and if need be we can administer the application from the plans to the written documentation we are here to simplify the process allowing you do design the conservatory of your dreams without the stress of planning.

Cornice Options
A standard conservatory comes with plastic gutters, which some people don’t like. Ultraframe’s innovative aluminium cornice options not only hide the standard plastic gutters but also add elegance and style to the classic conservatory roof. The cornice can be provided in a variety of colours including white, grey, cream, chartwell green and more.
The cornice comes in 3 options; Classic, 2 high flat and 3 high flat. Click on the options above to see more.
Classic Cornice
The classic aluminium cornice is a timeless feature, which adds a contemporary style to any conservatory suiting a variety of homes. Ask our sales team for more information regarding the cornice features.
2 High Cornice
The 2 high aluminium cornice is the most recent addition to the classic roof. It is designed to imitate an orangery look without the high cost. It can be applied to any of our roofs for a modern & stylish finish. Ask our sales team for more information regarding the cornice features.

Ultraframe – Livin’ room orangery option
The Ultraframe roof system is incredibly flexible. With the Livin room feature we can create the aesthetics of an orangery extension without the added cost of engineered timbers, flat roofs and lintels.
It works using a lightweight engineered steel section, which can be insulated and plastered. You can then decorate it in any colour the same as your house walls, when styles change.
In addition to this we can add down lights to the perimeter making the room appear warm, cosy and stylish
Ultraframe – Loggia posts
Bringing the orangery pillar design into the 21st century the loggia posts have a modern look followed by fantastic thermal efficiency. As they are prefabricated they remove the requirement for expensive brickwork but in line with the innovative design we can achive an A+ rated conservatory extension allowing you to enjoy your Loggia all year round!
The Loggia columns can be used on the corners or in between frames to break up the large glass areas traditionally associated with conservatories. This gives you more of an extension than a conservatory.
They also allow you to decorate the inside of your conservatory in any colour.
Loggia Features
At Stratton we believe our longevity is due to our simple formula. We only supply quality products for fair prices.
The Loggia columns can be fluted to imitate the traditional timber orangery design or plain for a more modern simplistic feature.
The columns fit in with the cornice as they are painted in the same RAL and both made from aluminium.
They are made from engineered timber and preformed honeycomb insulation, making them more insulated than their competition. So much so they can achieve an A+ rating!
FAQs
Stratton’s modern innovative conservatories have options to allow you to use your conservatory all year round.
In the winter it is imperative to insulate your conservatory. Our bases are insulated along with the cavity walls. In addition to this the side elevations can be specified from C rated all the way up to A++ rated, Loggia columns can also be specified to contribute further to the insulation.
Obviously the roof plays a major factor as warm air rises up the roof needs to prevent it from escaping. On the classic roof the dome glazing bars are multi-chambered. These small air pockets help insulate the roof.
However, the main factor is the glazing area. High performance glass or even a lightweight roof is best at insulating. Select “glazing options” for more details.
In the summer the roof glazing plays a big part in keeping your conservatory cool. Again see the glazing options for more details. Ventilation in the side frames needs to be taken into account.
In summary Stratton conservatory extensions can be used all year round as long as the correct components are specified.
All of our windows, doors and conservatories are made to measure on order. Once an order is placed our surveyor will contact you to take an accurate survey and draw up plans for the factory to manufacture your new conservatory roof.
