Make Your Home A Thing Of Beauty With UPVC Windows And Doors

Wednesday, September 1st, 2010

The windows and doors at any home are sure to take a battering over time, especially with the amount of bad weather we get. Although the interior of your home may look modern and contemporary, the exterior appearance of your home may be looking tired and out of date because of your windows and doors. If this is the case then it is time you looked at replacing them as there is nothing worse than seeing a home looking in a bad state.

uPVC windows and uPVC doors will make the world of difference when added to your home and will transform its appearance. Guests will immediately notice the changes made when they visit your home as uPVC will gleam in all weathers as they are weather resistant and will stand up no matter if it is rain or shine. By changing your windows you will also benefit from greater views from the inside as the glass used provides a bright outlook on everything going on outside. When combined together they really will give you a new up to date look.

New windows and doors are also unaffected by rotting or fading, so you do not need to worry about constantly maintaining them. The cost of replacements may be more than what you paid for your original windows, but you will find that they have a longer lifespan and may never need to be changed again. They will also make your home energy efficient, as they are good conductors of heat and allow virtually nothing to pass through the glass or frames.

Another way of transforming the exterior of your home is by looking into conservatories. A conservatory will stand proudly in your back garden and make it a much nicer place to live and spend your home life all year round.

Conservatory Outlet Launch Glass Extensions

Sunday, July 18th, 2010

A few years back, most of us were content to soak up the summer sun in a simple conservatory or modest sunroom design. These days there are so many modern alternatives to consider, from a striking Glass Extension to a contemporary orangery design, and, although these glass extensions look super-slick, they are more affordable than you think.

Conservatory Outlet have always considered itself to be forward thinking, innovative and ahead of the game when it comes to conservatory designs and orangery extensions. This approach has never changed as Conservatory Outlet continue to bring you the very latest in home improvements to make your home totally unique when compared to others in your neighbourhood. Our very latest product is the Glass Extension, which will bring both added value and the extra room you have always wanted.

The best time of the year to enjoy your garden is without doubt during the summer time and there is no better way of making use of it than having a Glass Extension built on your home. We have designed them so that you have a Veranda area outside of a conservatory which is still covered by the glass roof – allowing you to sit outside and admire your garden all year round. You can access the veranda on the front of your Glass Extension via a set of bi-folding doors or patio doors, so you can flit in and out as often as you like and with the minimum of fuss required – perfect for children’s parties or family barbeque.

The looks of a Glass Extension really are something to behold and you will be hard pushed to find anyone who has something similar in your neighbourhood. Like conventional conservatories or orangeries, not only will they add value to your home, but there are so many different ways in which you could utilise the space offered by it.

Having introduced the Orangery design throughout the UK – a Conservatory Outlet Glass Extension will be a delightful addition to any style of home.

Planet Conservatories Don’t Need Planning Permission

Thursday, June 3rd, 2010

If you have been looking at conservatory or orangery designs – you may not be aware of the fact that conservatories and orangeries from Planet Conservatories are easier to build now than ever. Until a few years ago planning permission was necessary and as any homeowner knows, involving your local council in any form of paperwork is a long winded affair.

Today local authorities do not require planning permission for installing a conservatory or orangery to your home in the UK. There are certain conditions that do apply, however overall conservatories & orangeries do not need planning permission if you plan that your conservatory or orangery does not cover more than fifty percent of the land that the home occupies.

  • You do not intend to build the conservatory or orangery on the same side of the house that fronts a highway. This rule applies to conservatories on the front back and side, you cannot build one on a side of the house that is parallel to a road.
  • You cannot build any part of the conservatory or orangery higher than the existing highest point on your roof – this regulation regarding the height of the conservatory can only be important on a bungalow.
  • If you are building a conservatory or orangery solely on the rear of the house than it can only extend beyond the outer wall by three meters if the house is attached to another. However if you have a detached house then the conservatory can be four meters.
  • Side conservatory or orangeries can be built up to four meters high and a width of no more than half the width of the original house width. Unless of course the side fronts a highway and then you cannot build one at all.
  • The roof height can only be to the first storey if you have more than one story.
  • The conservatory or orangery must be closed in it cannot have any other extraneous extensions such as a conservatory balcony or a conservatory verandah. Simply put your conservatory can only be one structure with no conservatory extensions.
  • Finally designated land cannot have a rear conservatory or orangery of more than one storey. Cladding cannot be used and side conservatories are forbidden. Designated land means areas of natural beauty such as the Norfolk broads, conservation areas, national parks and world heritage sites.

Choose A Contemporary Orangery Design At Planet Conservatories

Saturday, May 29th, 2010

The North West is not always renowned for getting the best of weather, but when it does you need to make the most of it. There is so much lovely scenery in the region and some of you may be lucky enough to have a great backdrop at your home. If you do then you should take advantage of it, especially on those rare sunny days during the summer months. The ideal place from where you can admire any views at the back of your home is from the comfort of an orangery.

Orangeries in the North West are believed by many to be a new and growing type of construction, a kind of beefed up version of the traditional conservatory. But, orangeries have actually been around for years and were previously used more as an area for growing plants and flowers. Like conservatories in the North West, many people have woken up to the usefulness of the orangery and are increasingly having them installed in their homes as a way of extending the size of their property.

They are also made up of less glass than a conservatory, so if you are worried that it will get too hot in the summer, then think again as the double glazing that is put inside an orangery is energy efficient and will keep it cool when necessary. In the unlikely event that it does get too warm, then you could install some blinds onto the windows which will keep out the glare and heat of the sun. If you fancy keeping your feet warm during the winter, heated flooring can be put down.

If you are currently considering buying Carnforth windows, then you are also urged to look into an orangery as there is no finer way of extending your home.

Going Against The Grain for Double Glazing & Conservatories

Sunday, April 18th, 2010

With conservatory sales running at perhaps half of some predictions made just three to four years ago, are Conservatory Outlet’s claims of substantial sales and enquiry increases to be taken with a pinch of salt? Conservatory Magazine writer Michael Oxted investigates.

“March has been a record month for conservatories and double glazing, the best we have ever had.”

How many companies in the conservatories and double glazing market can say that, truthfully? So when Matthew Glover, managing director of Conservatory Outlet made the claim, was I hearing yet another double glazing salesman’s extravagant verbiage?

Matthew Glover does not fit the image of the archetypal double glazing salesman. In fact he strikes one as being unassuming, thoughtful and even cerebral, the instinct to trust this man coming out strongly. So what does he have to back up his claims, which in fairness come from Matthew as being simply conversation rather than any ‘sell’.

“Our sales are up by 25.5% for quarter 1 compared to a similar period last year,” explains Matthew. “Granted it was a poor period generally but compared to 2008, we were ahead by 47% so we are seeing consistent year on year growth.

“But March has been a record month for us; the sales leads generated through our web sites grew by 41% and our conversion rate has been excellent too; homeowners appear to be actively looking. This growth is due to retail sales through our network showrooms.”

The Internet is a key part of Conservatory Outlet’s marketing support offer for its dealers which is regarded as one of the best in the business, including as it does a full Internet provision through its own web site in addition to custom web sites for its dealers. Search engine optimisation is the key however, with continuous activity taking place to ensure Conservatory Outlet and its dealers are continually at the top of all the major search engines, usually topping all of the big national retailers. Television and other advertising support is provided, together with high quality lifestyle brochures and advertisements.

However, appointed dealers must bring something to the party, explains Matthew: “A Conservatory Outlet dealer must show us that they understand retail and are enthusiastic and ambitious. A showroom is essential as is a commitment to undertaking marketing to complement what we do for them. We provide the framework for this also however.”

Sales have grown organically and are already being compounded by a drive for new dealers to spread the reach of Conservatory Outlet nationally: “Frankly we are wasting leads as our core internet activity reaches all corners of the UK. Our latest dealer, Housemaster based in Hertfordshire, enjoyed a huge number of fresh sales leads when he joined us earlier this year and we have many other areas where we can pass on the best leads available.”

I believe him: Matthew is a very credible operator and his command of how to market and sell conservatories is very impressive, as his stats – but more importantly sales – continue to prove.

Conservatories Are The Ideal Way To Add Value To Your Home

Saturday, April 10th, 2010

According to new research carried out by Yorkshire Bank, four in ten people are having to delay moving property due to the current recession. If you are currently in a similar position then you need not be down in the dumps about it as not being able to move home need not feel like the end of the world. Conservatory Outlet has a range of products which can be installed and make you remember why you fell in love with your current home in the first place.

One of our stylish conservatories can be installed in no time at all and can bring a whole new dimension to your home, extending your living space and offering you a number of opportunities of how to use it. You could use it as an extra living room, a games room or even your own personal gym. If you are green fingered then why not have a set of French doors installed within it so that you can have easier access to your garden, ideal during those long, hot summer months.

You could even separate your conservatory into two rooms if you are torn between two different ways of utilising it. Our P-Shape conservatories, so called due to their shape, provide you with the option of splitting your conservatory into two sections should you so require.

Another great way of making your home a nicer place in which to live is by having double glazing installed. All our windows, whether you choose casement, tilt and turn or sashed windows, are composed of uPVC which means that any adverse outside weather is unlikely to be able to get into your home, making for a warmer environment.

Call us free on 0800 915 8844 or visit one of our showrooms local to your home and do not let the recession break your heart as well as your bank.

French Doors From Conservatory Outlet Can Bring A Continental Touch To Your Home

Friday, April 9th, 2010

With summer approaching we have experienced a surge in the amount of people wanting to buy Conservatory Outlet French Doors. People are informing us that they want to have easier access to their back garden on those days when the sun is shining and the installation of them is helping to transform their property and make it truly different from any similar homes in their area.

Each of our French doors are composed of hard wearing uPVC material and are double opening, meaning that on those scorching days they can be left wide open so that a soothing breeze can hit your living and dining room areas. If you have a patio area then it makes sense to have them installed as you can flit between your home and back garden if you ever fancy inviting friends and family round for a barbecue.

They can also further protect your home in addition to your windows and front and back doors, as they are installed with a multi lock mechanism which can withstand a great amount of force from the unwanted intruder. It also eliminates the chances of someone trying to break in using a crowbar. You may wonder why you would want to go French rather than go for patio doors. The main reason being is that patio doors will only slide from side to side, therefore restricting ventilation.

We provide our doors in a variety of colours and finishes from which you can choose which one you feel will most suit your home. If you cannot afford conservatories or orangeries, then such doors are a more affordable solution should you wish to do something different within your home. Call us free on 0800 915 8844 and get a free appointment booked over the phone with a member of our sales team.

Conservatory Outlet’s New Dealer in Hertfordshire Is An Immediate Success

Sunday, April 4th, 2010

Housemaster Home Improvements has joined the Conservatory Outlet Network, marking a significant expansion in the network’s reach.

Conservatory Outlet is widely regarded to be a Yorkshire and Northern-based outfit. However, a recent push by the company’s managing director, Matthew Glover, resulted in widespread interest from companies based in the south.

Clive Brimmell, owner of Hertfordshire’s based Housemaster Home Improvements decided to join the network after learning that Conservatory Outlet was generating leads for the southern half England that didn’t have local member companies available to service them.

After Housemaster Home Improvements was able to prove its credentials as a competent retail company – including owning a showroom – Conservatory Outlet built a modern website (www.housemasterhome.com) for the company, which immediately started to generate business and sales enquiries from website visitors throughout Hertfordshire & Bedfordshire searching for the latest conservatories, orangeries and energy saving double double glazing and doors for their home.

As a result, Housemaster Home Improvements’ first month brought in approximately £250k, compared to £160k for February 2009, knocking aside any worries brought on by a recession.

The rest of the network also has good news to celebrate: leads generated by Conservatory Outlet increased by 32% in February this year when compared to February 2009.

“The internet is a primary generator for conservatory leads,” said Matthew Glover. “People click onto our high ranking websites long before they consider visiting showrooms or inviting round a surveyor.

“By being part of the Conservatory Outlet network, companies like Housemaster Home Improvements are guaranteeing far more interest in their product range from conservatories, orangeries to the latest energy saving double glazing windows and doors.

“What’s more we have proved that it works by generating almost a third more leads this February than we did in February 2009.”
