Help The Environment By Purchasing Double Glazing

Saturday, October 1st, 2011

The planet is under threat from global warming and unless we all start making conscious effort to do something about it our very existence could be in serious doubt. Although there have been signs that homeowners are starting to take more measures to make their property energy efficient, there are still plenty who are choosing to ignore it.

It simply doesn’t make sense that some people would choose to stay loyal to their old windows even when they are aware that they are responsible for draughts, high energy bills and large carbon footprints.

It seems even stranger when double glazing is readily available from a variety of installers and is a proven way of improving thermal efficiency in the home and preventing energy loss. Some are put off by the initial cost of double glazed windows, but the savings you make on your energy bills will more than make up for the investment.

The UPVC frame used in a double glazed window will insulate your home far better than a normal timber window would as it is specifically designed to store heat, rather than waste it. It also has better staying power as it offers weather-resistance and doesn’t require anywhere near the level of maintenance that a traditional window needs on a regular basis.

Once you have a new set of windows installed all your friends and family will stand up and take notice of the changes you have made and it may even give them the incentive they need to follow suit now or in the future. The new aesthetics will also attract the attention of passers-by.

Together we can save the planet and taking the time and effort to improve your property with windows, a conservatory or orangery is a good place to start. We all have a responsibility to take action and look after this world in which we live.

Create A Link To Your Garden With French Doors

Wednesday, September 7th, 2011

When space in and around your home begins to disappear and you do not have the funds available to move, your other option is to extend your property. There are many different forms of extension, but they can be a real burden on your finances. However, there are subtle changes you can make to help open up your home or at least give off the illusion that it is bigger than it actually is.

One of those easy to install solutions is a set of French doors. One of the major benefits of French doors is the fact that they open inwards and outwards, giving you the biggest possible opening. It is usual practice for them to be placed in direct proximity to the back garden so that you can use them as the major access point into the outside of your home. The views to be gained from having French doors installed are unbeatable as they will give you a spot where you can look on and admire your back garden at any time of the day.

When left open you will also benefit from fantastic ventilation. We have all sat in on a hot summer’s day in the past and felt sweltering heat. This variety of door will put an end to those occasions when you start to build up a sweat indoors.

If the security of your home keeps you up at night with worry, a set of French doors will help keep it that bit more protected as they come fitted with a tough and durable locking system that can only be broken with considerable force.

You can conclude your home improvement project by investing in replacement windows or even one of the many conservatories available. They will sit perfectly with your touch of French elegance.

Live In A Small Home? Try A Conservatory

Sunday, September 4th, 2011

Homes across the UK are extremely diverse. Our properties come in a whole host of shapes and sizes with no one home looking the same as you will always find some sort of subtle difference between households. However, there is one form of home extension that would look the part at any type of property in the form of the lean to conservatory.

Lean to conservatories are one of the most frequently purchased conservatory designs as it is one of the most cost-effective and beautiful structures on the market. The fact that it can even extend space in a bungalow is another reason why so many homeowners are keen to purchase one. A lean to conservatory also somehow has the ability to take up very little room in the home whilst adding a huge amount of new useable living space.

Only when you walk inside your conservatory will you be able to fully appreciate the spaciousness it offers to your home. This is also the time when you begin to realise the many opportunities it offers as you can use it in so many different ways.

Using it as a way of getting closer to your garden without you having to leave your home is a popular choice amongst homeowners. You can literally surround yourself with nature at any time of the day as a conservatory or orangery will always be placed in close proximity to the back garden and will help bring home and garden that bit closer together.

Alternatively, you could simply use it as an extension of your living room or dining room. Imagine the luxury of being able to invite guests into your conservatory. It will be an experience they will never forget.

Everyone has the opportunity to own a conservatory, especially when you opt for a lean to version.

Attract Tenants To Your Home With An Extension From Conservatory Outlet

Thursday, August 25th, 2011

When the recession hit a couple of years ago it left many UK homeowners in limbo. Many of those people who were looking to move had no other choice but to stay where they were as the buyers market slowly began to run dry. Because the buyers market has gone quiet, many people are now instead looking to rent out their property. Anyone looking to take advantage of the lucrative letting market should ensure their home looks the part.

Conservatory Outlet can help you on your way as we have the products and technical expertise to make your home a more attractive prospect to people looking to rent.

If your home is restricted in size purely because of how it was built or because the contents of your home have led to space disappearing, you should have a look into having a conservatory installed. A conservatory is a home extension well worth purchasing as it will bring an enormous amount of new-found space to your property.

Conservatories come in a variety of different forms at Conservatory Outlet. Victorian conservatories offer a traditional design and come multi-faceted, whereas lean to conservatories have a lean shape and are best suited in the smaller property.

When you make your property available for rent you will be able to pinpoint your conservatory as being a key feature and it could help add to the rental price. Being able to attract a high rental price will enable you to make good savings so that you can improve the property further in the future or even give you essential funds for buying another house when the buyers market picks up again.

You can see for yourself how Conservatory Outlet has managed to establish such a good reputation in the home improvement industry by paying a visit to your local showroom.

Patio Doors Make A Perfect Exit Point

Monday, August 22nd, 2011

Having your own back garden is a real luxury, particularly when the weather is set fine. We all love spending time outside, especially when in close proximity to our homes and during the summer months. Because the garden is such an important area of the home it makes sense to spend as much time as possible there and you can when you purchase a set of patio doors from Conservatory Outlet.

As you are well aware, a conventional door opens inwards or outwards depending on which side of the door you are located. Patio doors are a little bit different as although they can be controlled via a handle, they open from side to side. With one simple slide of a patio door, you can have instant access to your back garden.

This gives you the perfect chance to host a barbecue or even a summer party for your children, friends and family. Too few of us make the most of the patio area of our homes but a set of these doors give you that luxury.

Similarly styled and an equally as effective set of doors, French doors offer the same qualities that its patio equivalent provides, the main difference being that a French door opens inwards and outwards.

A new set of doors situated at the rear of your household will also be beneficial from a security perspective as they each come fitted with a sophisticated locking system. When properly locked, both types of door will protect your property and keep it out of the hands of thieves. The durability of the lock is also designed to last.

When you add a new set of doors or conservatories to your home, you will be unable to resist the urge to invite everybody round to see them in all their glory.

Defeat The High Cost Of Energy With Double Glazing

Tuesday, August 16th, 2011

Ideally our homes should be warm and cosy in the winter and cool and fresh in the summer but this isn’t always the case.  A lot of the energy we use to heat our homes is lost through poorly insulated walls and windows which is not only harming the environment but it is costing UK homeowners a small fortune.

Double glazed windows are one of the most energy efficient options on the market and to enable customers to fully understand the product that they are buying, all windows are now graded with an energy efficient rating. Recent developments in window technology now mean that some windows will actually help to heat your home by harvesting free energy from the sun. The average life expectancy of a double glazed window is around 25 years, so you could stand to save a lot of money.

Not only does it help to reduce your energy bills, but double glazing is also a lot more secure compared to traditional single glazed windows providing you with greater peace of mind.

It is installed complete with locking handles and multiple safety systems making them much harder to force open and break. Most modern windows are now made from UPVC rather than timber so they will require much less maintenance compared to traditional windows and they won’t rot or disintegrate over time.

Double glazing is not only useful for your windows, they can also be applied to conservatories and orangeries making them much warmer during the winter months. The colours and finishing used can also be matched to the windows and the rest of your property making your home much more appealing aesthetically.

Overall, investing in a new set of windows will be well worth it in the long run, they are more energy efficient, secure and require little maintenance.

Read Up On The Green Deal Now

Saturday, August 13th, 2011

The threat of global warming is an issue that simply refuses to go away. The increasing reliance on fossil fuels amongst property owners is partly responsible for the overall temperature of the planet rising and the government has recognised the need to do something about it via the impending ‘Green Deal’.

Too many UK homes and places of business are currently poorly insulated, leaking heat and wasting energy. This alone contributes over a quarter of the UK’s carbon emissions and also results in people having to fork out a fortune on energy bills.

Due to launch in late 2012, the Green Deal will give householders and businesses the opportunity to install energy efficiency measures without paying for it in advance. Instead, they will be able to approach their current energy provider for a loan to cover the initial cost and pay it back through the savings made on future energy bills.

Any savings made through a homeowner’s chosen energy efficient product must be equal to or greater than the costs attached to the energy bill. This means that over the 25 year lifespan of a product you could potentially earn more than you spend.

If there comes a time when you want to move home, your Green Deal payments will then be passed onto the new owner of your property. The energy efficiency of your property may even give buyers the incentive they need to put in an offer for your home.

The UK is committed to an ambitious greenhouse gas emissions reduction target of 80% by 2050 as part of The Climate Change Act 2008 and it is hoped that the Green Deal will enable them to reach this goal.

It isn’t clear yet exactly which type of energy efficient measures will qualify for the Green Deal. Although it is not expected that conservatories will be included, it is hoped that products such as double glazing, triple glazing and other types of replacement windows will be involved.

More details are expected to be announced before parliament takes its annual summer break so watch this space…

Give Your Home A New Lease Of Life With A Conservatory

Wednesday, August 10th, 2011

We all aspire to live in luxury but sometimes our living room does not provide us with the style of living we crave. When you have a large family your living room will often become overrun with clutter and a shortage of space will soon become apparent. Rather than just live with it, you can either look to move somewhere bigger or extend the home that you currently live in.

When you have a lack of funds to play with, the second option will definitely be more financially viable as home extensions will prove to be much more affordable.

The majority of homeowners tend to prefer extending their home in the form of a conservatory as it offers a way of living unlike any other extension around. Neither a loft or garage conversion will give you the heat, warmth and stylish living quarters that conservatories can bring to a property.

The only other form of home extension which can be compared to the conservatory is the orangery as it provides similar benefits but on a much larger scale. It may also blend in with your home that bit easier as orangeries are put together using a combination of brickwork and glass, rather than UPVC and glass.

Both types of extension bring something truly special to a property as never before will you have been able to relax in such glorious surroundings. The moment natural light hits either extension the whole interior will illuminate and create an atmosphere right out of the top drawer.

Added to this is the fact that the installation of a home extension will boost the overall selling price of your home. So not only will you capture better home living, but you could also make yourself a tidy profit when the time comes to sell up.

Conservatory Outlet Announces Recruitment Of Hazlemere Windows

Thursday, June 23rd, 2011

Wakefield-based Conservatory Outlet and High Wycombe’s Hazlemere Window Company have joined forces in a deal that will enable the former to increase its presence in the South, and the latter – a successful aluminium fabricator – to increase its sales of UPVC products.

Established in 1985, Hazlemere is prominent in Buckinghamshire and is known even further afield for its work in the commercial sector, having manufactured aluminium windows, UPVC doors and curtain walling for more than 25 years.

UPVC is also a major part of Hazlemere’s business and, when looking for a new supplier, the board of directors were keen to find a partner that could not only manufacture products worthy of the Hazlemere brand, but also help them to increase sales in the domestic market.

Conservatory Outlet was the obvious choice. The fabricator, which serves a network of regional installers from across the UK, is well known for supporting its customers in the form of qualified retail leads, lead generating websites and high quality bespoke marketing literature.

In joining the network Hazlemere Window Company becomes the fifteenth Conservatory Outlet dealer, but one of only a handful in the South of England. By attracting such reputable and successful installers, Conservatory Outlet has been able to achieve a 34% UK coverage per capita, with ambitions of reaching 50% in the near future.

And just weeks after agreeing a deal with Conservatory Outlet, Hazlemere demonstrated the sort of ambition that makes them a perfect fit for the network by starting work on a new 8,000 square foot showroom which, now complete, features a vast array of UPVC, aluminium and composite products, as we as conservatories and double glazing.

Local MP Steve Baker opened the Hazlemere showroom, situated next to the company’s equally impressive 38,000 square foot aluminium factory, on Friday 13th May 2011. Far from being ill-fated, the day was a huge success with representatives from the local and trade press present, as well as a constant stream of customers.

The official opening was followed by a series of open weekends during which potential customers were greeted with Champagne, canapés and luxury coffee to enjoy as they browsed the new showroom.

Tony Beale, sales director of Hazlemere Window Company, said: ‘Becoming a Conservatory Outlet dealer will enable us to boost our domestic sales of UPVC products, without neglecting the other sectors that we serve. We’re already seeing a payback from the decision to join the network and invest in a new high-end retail showroom.’

Tony’s counterpart at Conservatory Outlet, Greg Kane, expanded: ‘Hazlemere Window Company is quite clearly a very successful business with a number of strings to its bow. Importantly, they have the infrastructure in place and the ambition to start receiving the leads that we generate and thrive as a Conservatory Outlet dealer.’
