Double Glazing Windows | Energy Efficiency to the MAX only from Planet South Lakes
Author: Steven | Leave a Comment >>Planet South Lakes are pleased to announce the availability of ‘A’ rated double glazed window units throughout the Lancaster, Morecambe, Barrow-in-Furness and Kendal areas. Planet’s ‘A’ rated windows offer a far higher energy efficiency rating than standard double glazed units and Pilkington K glass.
Many homeowners are unaware that double glazed windows have an energy efficiency rating much the same as refrigerators, washing machines and other domestic appliances. The energy efficiency is rated on a scale of A to G, A being highly energy efficient and G being the least efficient. Products which are rated C or above can also display the Energy Saving Recommended blue label.
Bearing in mind current energy and environmental concerns, homeowners are keen to do their bit for the environment, and having an energy efficiency rating for the products they purchase helps them decide which product not only suits their needs, but is environmentally friendly…
Installing DIY Conservatories and Double Glazing is harder than it looks
Author: Steven | Leave a Comment >>A recent study has shown that in the current economic climate many people are choosing to undertake home improvement tasks themselves rather than employing a registered tradesman. The research has shown that more and more people are choosing to undertake major home improvement projects themselves in a bid to save money.
Major projects include the installation of uPVC conservatories, orangeries and double glazing. The survey found that many people have been doing their own building work and have not been following guidelines or legislation.
Although adding a conservatory, orangery or double glazing is a great way of improving your home whether it is to improve your properties energy efficiency or to give you extra living space. If the job is to be a success it needs to be done properly. Conservatory installers and window fitters train for many years in order to be accomplished in their work. Although they make…
Brick Porches or uPVC Porch – make an entrance to be proud of
Author: Steven | Leave a Comment >>In England the porch began to be used through churches in medieval times. Back in those days the Porches tended to be built from stone, or sometimes timber, and placed on the southern side of the building – sometimes on other sides as well. These porches were mainly built to provide cover for church goers.
As time went on the churches began to have two storeys, with a room above the entrance which was used as a storeroom, or library. Sometimes the church custodian lived in the upper storey and a window in to the church would be used for supervision of the interior. A lot of churches today have these porches, both internally and externally.
Nowadays porches are highly customisable, with different roof shapes, colours and Planet South Lakes will even match your brick pattern so that it fits in with your house.
Here at Planet South Lakes we…

What Do Our Range Of Orangeries Offer?
Author: Steven | Leave a Comment >>Orangeries are a modern extension to a home. They have been developed with the success of modern conservatories. Both offer a contemporary feel to any home.
Orangeries are bespoke, which means they every design is tailor made. They are designed for your needs and manufactured to your exact specifications. Obviously this can be slightly daunting, but with reputable companies there will be industry professionals to help you through the design process.
The pricing is fairly similar to that of a Conservatory, being perhaps slightly more expensive. However the features offered definitely deserve a further look.
One issue with a conservatory is that at times it can sometimes feel like a glass room built on to the end of your home. An orangery creates an extremely light and airy room, which feels like a unique extension of your house.
