Chelmsford Conservatory Transformation

Location: Essex
Products: OB-72 Bifold Doors, OW-80 Picture Windows
Finish: RAL 7016M Anthracite Grey

After 38 years in their much-loved Chelmsford home, a former collection of farm buildings they transformed into a family space, Sue and Michael decided it was time to update their ageing conservatory. With wooden windows and decades-old French doors, the room was draughty, high-maintenance, and difficult to enjoy year-round.

Wanting something modern, warmer, and easier to look after, the couple began exploring aluminium options and soon found themselves drawn to the flexibility of bifold doors. A visit to Essex Bifold helped them refine their ideas. After talking through materials, security features, and long-term performance, they chose Origin OB-72 bifold doors and OW-80 picture windows, impressed by the engineering quality, UK manufacturing, and generous guarantee.

To open up the space and maximise garden views, they opted for two sets of bifolds paired with picture windows, all finished in Anthracite Grey to complement the home’s slate roof and contemporary styling.

Once installed, the change was immediate. The room is now brighter, better insulated, and comfortable in every season. With wide views over their much-loved garden, the conservatory has become a favourite spot for relaxing and entertaining, a transformation noticed and loved by family and friends alike.

For Sue and Michael, the project delivered exactly what they hoped for: a light, modern space that works beautifully every day.
