CR Smith

An orangerie is the perfect balance between an extended room and a conservatory. It gives you the feeling of a more enclosed space but the glazed roof gives you much more natural light. The epitome of modern living, an orangerie allows you to effortlessly incorporate contemporary design features such as speakers and down-lighters. Just like our conservatories, Lorimer orangeries by CR Smith are bespoke and designed and built to your exact specification, right down to the last detail. That's why it's essential our consultants work with you, so we can create the ultimate extended living space for your home and lifestyle.

CR Smith offers a wide spectrum of uPVC window, door and conservatory colours to suit your home, style and dcor. The contoured shape of the Lorimer window gives each window depth and texture. It also delivers a woodgrain finish that looks and feels like real wood. With its slim shape and well-proportioned appearance, a Lorimer white uPVC window will complement any home. Its bright white finish will make your room look bigger while giving a fresh new look to your dcor. Rosewood woodgrain uPVC is the perfect option if you're replacing traditional timber windows with a modern uPVC alternative.

Traditional sash and case windows are typical of Georgian, Victorian and Edwardian houses in Britain. With sashes, the panes slide rather than swing, moving up and down in the window case. The Lorimer Sliding Sash is designed to look just like traditional timber windows - in fact it's hard to tell the difference just by looking. But our sash and case windows need no painting or maintenance, they won't rot or warp, and they deliver excellent thermal performance and noise protection. While uPVC sash windows perform much better than timber, it's still a pleasure to have the beauty of wood indoors.

Every inch is hand finished by our professional decorators in wax or varnish, so that the natural beauty and integrity of the wood is maximised and brings your room to life.

Conservatory roofs need to be regularly maintained as they can be exposed to the extremes of the Scottish climate including wind, rain and snow. Loose roof panels are one of the most common causes of leaks in conservatories, as this creates gaps where the water can enter. Why not give your faded gutters a facelift with our range of modern guttering available in white, brown, caramel and black. With UV pigmentation in the plastic, the colour won't fade over time. Cresting and finials are the decorative architectural devices seen on the roof of a conservatory.

Another alternative to our traditional conservatories and orangeries is the tiled sunroom. Integrating seamlessly with your house, we can build your sunroom with or without interconnecting doors - so it can extend an existing living space, or form a brand new room.

It also allows you to incorporate contemporary design features such as speakers and down-lighters.
