Good for People
Conservatories allow us to engage with nature all year round. The additional space they provide in our homes is highly prized and they often give us sanctuary from the busy world around us.
The history of the conservatory is all about plants, with their origins being for overwintering tender specimens. With the Renaissance came a fashion for collecting and caring for new plants from around the world. These highly prized plants were initially housed in structures closer to the Orangery but gradually, as we dispensed with heavy masonry, they became brighter structures of glass and iron or timber.
Today conservatories are about a bright home extension, but with their large area of glass, they often become spaces that are too hot in the summer and too cold in the winter, making them inhospitable to plants and people for large parts of the year.
Everything Alitex has learned from our horticultural background will work just as well for people as for plants – higher levels of ventilation to maintain a comfortable environment during the summer, and an effective heating system for the colder months are crucial in creating a space for you to enjoy 365 days a year.
Alitex Conservatories are an opportunity for a genuinely different living space – bright and fresh – a thriving indoor garden for work, rest or play.
