The Lean To conservatory has many names within the industry: Sun Room; Sun Lounge; Mediterranean, all we know is that it’s the simplest style conservatory and the most cost effective for your home. With clean lines that give it a contemporary look but with distinctive stylish features, it will suit any traditional or modern house. The style is perfect for the individual who likes the clean, simple, understated lines of a Mediterranean sunroom.
Lean To conservatories are also ideal for homes with smaller gardens, or situations where a little extra space is required for the house, without losing too much of the existing garden. However, they are equally as impressive in large house extensions and conservatories in their own right.

The Lean To conservatory has the perfect style for properties where there are height restrictions, or any issues in terms of eaves height, for example a bungalow, or have an area that may be awkward to fit another type of conservatory. The main reason for this is the flexibility of a Lean To roof to drop its pitch, as low as 2.5° for Polycarbonate roofs and 5° for Glass roofs, ideal for shallow pitch situations such as bungalows and high pitch roofs such as terraced houses.
The Lean To roof design has its origins in greenhouses that were normally built facing the southern sun to maximise the heat source of the sun. This in turn offered shelter from colder northern winds. In modern times, a Lean To conservatory is the most popular design for people wanting to improve their homes with Legacy Windows.
Our seamlessly elegant Lean To conservatory structures let light flood into them, and bridge the gap between the external garden area and the highly utilised home space. Like all of Legacy Windows conservatories, they are bespoke to order, allowing us to design and build a structure that meets your every and exacting requirements, from a small utility room extension to a large scale dinning or kitchen area, or as a full sunroom where you can utilise your new extra space in comfort and style.
A Lean To conservatory will also help the energy balance of your home, providing shelter during the winter months and maximising sunlight during the summer. With energy efficient windows, doors or more recently bi-folding doors, coupled with energy efficient roof glazing, you will have the ability to use your new sunroom as a greenhouse, a playroom, a dinning room or a kitchen, throughout the entire year, maximising your investment. With additional options such as under floor heating, electrics and plumbing, you will be able to improve your home at a fraction of the normal price.
All of Legacy Windows conservatories are designed, manufactured and installed to rigorous quality controls and exacting standards, as with all of our product range. With our aim that your conservatory will be built to be used all year round, be durable and weatherproof, but will also retains its charm and style for years to come.
