More About Our Pine Products
A conservatory is a particularly good choice for a combined kitchen / dining room extension, but whatever the intended use, you can’t beat the elegance and versatility of timber. Commonly used are the low cost timbers Pine and Redwood. These timbers are light in both colour and weight, and have a wide, open grain structure which is very distinctive. Pine conservatories are not naturally very durable, so the wood must be treated with preservatives in order to extend its durability for outside use. A pine conservatory can be painted in a solid colour or in a translucent stain which will show the grain of the timber. The next step up from a softwood orangery or softwood conservatory in terms of quality is to choose a hardwood conservatory. Hardwood comes from deciduous trees and the types of hardwood used for building conservatories and orangeries are more durable and beautiful than comparable softwoods. Sapele hardwood is often called “African Mahogany” as it bears many similarities to mahogany – it is a similar rich dark colour and the grain structure looks almost identical. Because of its strength, durability and beautiful appearance, sapele timber is often used to make high quality furniture and musical instruments such as acoustic guitars, as well as being the standard choice for our conservatories and orangeries.
The ultimate timber choice for a conservatory is oak. Oak is one of the most durable timbers and has an unmistakable grain and rich colour which is best suited to rustic or farmhouse-style homes. We only use high-quality solid European Oak in our conservatories, there are no veneers involved as with some cheaper products. As such, oak is also the most expensive timber we offer, but we also offer a low cost alternative in Idigbo timber. Idigbo can be stained in a range of different colours designed to imitate oak timber including “light oak”, “mid oak”, “antique oak” and more. When inspected up-close you will notice that the grain of idigbo timber is different from the grain of oak, but from a short distance, when stained in the right colour, Idigbo and oak can look very similar. Some of our previous customers have even installed our Idigbo windows and doors within an outer frame of rustic oak and without looking very close-up it is difficult to tell the difference.
Whatever your timber choice – whether you want a pine conservatory, a hardwood conservatory or even a solid oak conservatory, we can provide you with the guidance and expertise necessary to see your project through to completion.

Pine conservatories and orangeries make a fantastic addition to any home. Not only will they add value to your property, they’ll also create a practical space which can be comfortably used all through the summer and winter.

Not only is it versatile, it’s also easy to paint – and easy on the eye. Did you know this attractive timber is one of the few environmentally-friendly woods used in conservatory construction? The more expensive oak and other softwoods, such as red cedar, are also kind to the environment.

Popular Pine Conservatories
Many folks believe the first conservatory of the period was the octagonal-styled Victorian conservatory. Interestingly, it was the pine lean-to conservatory – which has been used in homes over the last 150-or-so- years.
Modern names have been given to the different types of conservatories to make them sound more appealing. Ironically, these new brand names are incorrect, e.g. ‘Victorian conservatory’ has been the name given to the aforementioned octagonal or multi-faceted conservatory.
Another example is the Edwardian conservatory or Georgian conservatory – the real name is hipped roof conservatories.
Another is the name ‘Edwardian Conservatory’ or ‘Georgian Conservatory’ being given to hipped roof conservatories.

Pine is a supple, inexpensive material which is why it’s great for building conservatories. Its durability makes it tremendously popular. Its versatility allows numerous design possibilities, such as sliding door hardware to improve the look and uniqueness of the conservatory and, consequently, the property as a whole.
Here are just some of the advantages of pine wood conservatories…

- Pine is one of the least expensive woods you can buy, whilst remaining solid and sophisticated
- Although pine is soft in colour, it still has a gorgeous grain while the dark design of this grain contrasts attractively with the lightness of the rest of the wood
- Its consistency and grain adds intensity to the appearance of the furniture, without making the space feel diminutive or overcrowded in any way
- Pine is obtained from forests which are grown sustainably, so that when one pine tree is cut down another is planted as a replacement
- Pine is a wonderful choice for anyone wanting to create an aesthetically pleasing conservatory for their home without harming the environment
