The conclusion of 2011 will trigger many people into making certain changes to their life so that the New Year proves to be a year to remember. Many look towards their property and try to come up with imaginative ways of transforming it and making it a more pleasurable place to live. A new set of windows may suffice, but for a total change why not buy a conservatory.
A conservatory can become ‘the’ place to be in your home. Situated at the back of your property it will provide you with the most glorious view of the back garden, whilst acting as a location for just about every type of occasion.
Breakfast, lunch, dinner and supper can all be enjoyed inside one of the many conservatories on offer from installers throughout the country. Even the smallest of conservatory designs can be used in a way that suits…
Very few people nowadays spend the whole of their life living in the same home. There comes a time when you begin to contemplate moving to a different property either because of a lack of space, the need to relocate or purely because you fancy some different surroundings. However, this is easier said than done, particularly with the housing market being in such a fragile state.
If finances or otherwise are forcing you to stay where you are then you should see it as a chance to redevelop your current home and remind yourself of why you fell in love with it in the first place. Planet South Lakes can help you do exactly that as we have an outstanding range of orangeries and conservatories to help add a totally new dimension to your property and give it renewed appeal.
An orangery is an even larger version of the traditional…
There comes a point where every home begins to run out of space. When you reach this stage your attentions will turn to moving elsewhere, but financial restrictions may prevent you from doing this.
This should not leave you disheartened as there are always alternatives available. Planet South Lakes has one of the largest selections of conservatories in Lancashire for those who want an affordable solution to moving. Each of our conservatories offer a level of spaciousness that you will have long craved to have in your property.
We are able to offer you six different variations of the conventional conservatory. Finding the right one for your home will be made that bit easier when you visit Planet South Lakes showroom in Kendal or Lancaster. You even have the opportunity to create something of your own when you opt for a bespoke conservatory.
The current size of…
The longer the duration of your stay in your property, the more it seems that the walls are closing in on you. This is because as time progresses we tend to collect more and more belongings and have less and less space to put them in, particularly the case if you have had children since first moving into your home. Moving simply is not an option for many as finances are tight right across the board.
Therefore an alternative needs to be found and a home extension is the perfect compromise as it offers you extra space at a fraction of the cost of changing homes. Orangeries and conservatories are surprisingly big and can easily act as an extension of a traditional living or dining room. The kids will simply love playing inside it!
Because an orangery is constructed predominantly using brick it will…
Cumbrian home improvement experts Planet have launched a brand new TV advertising campaign in time for winter to help them capitalise on the growing demand for windows from consumers.
The ad, produced by Plymouth creative agency Marett, cleverly combines and reworks the classic Goldilocks and Three Little Pigs fairy tales in 3D and brings them together to highlight how double glazing in Cumbria can add much-needed security to a home.
Minus the Three Bears and the Wolf, the narrative of the advert shows Goldilocks coming across the Three Little Pigs home in her search for porridge. However, her attempts to break into the home of the Three Little Pigs home via the windows proves to be unsuccessful as their new Planet Windows manage to stay firm in the face of adversity.
Planet, who also specialise in manufacturing and fitting conservatories in Lancashire, believed that a an entirely new…
The month of November so far has been one of the mildest Novembers on record. Temperatures have stayed well above the expected average and some point towards climate change as being the reason for it. There is no doubt that climate change is a very serious issue and one which we all need to make a conscious effort to defeat.
Planet South Lakes has products to help make sure that your property is environmentally-friendly. A new set of windows is a necessity and only double glazing in Lancashire will do for property owners in the region looking to make their home green.
Old single glazed windows are the chief cause of heat loss and draughts in the home. Each time you start to feel cold in your home you usually turn towards your heating and use more energy than you would do should you have double…
If last year is anything to go by, the UK can expect extreme temperatures this winter and plenty of snow spells. If you were one of the few homeowners who had yet to replace their windows you will most likely look back on the winter in 2010 with nothing but bad memories. Hopefully you will have learnt your lesson and taken necessary precautions for this winter, if you have not then do so now.
The installation of double glazing can ensure that your property stays warm and away from the cold air outside throughout the winter and beyond. The glass and UPVC frame will deflect cold air, whilst utilising any hot air that your boiler generates so that your property stays toasty at all times. All heat created by your boiler will be retained by the windows so that you can use it less regularly.
Those with…
Several media sources have reported in the past few days that Queen Elizabeth II could soon be forced into fuel poverty due to the ever increasing cost of energy. Due to Royal income being frozen by the government and with four palaces and a castle to heat, Her Majesty is set to fork out a fortune on energy over the coming months.
The Queen is just one of around 5 million people in the UK currently struggling to afford the cost of heating. The government is very keen to bring down these figures and with the assistance of Planet South Lakes you can restore warmth in your home.
But to achieve it you need double glazing installed throughout your home or at least in those rooms that you use most regularly such as the living room, dining room, bathroom and bedroom. A double glazed window will retain…
One of the most time-consuming aspects when buying home improvements is obtaining a handful of quotes from a group of installers. We are always encouraged to shop around and find the best deal, but it can be a fraught process, especially when some companies insist on charging you for the privilege of getting a quote.
Planet South Lakes does no such thing and provides all its quotes absolutely FREE of charge. Anyone who requests a quote on or offline from Planet can be left certain that they will receive an accurate quote within a matter of hours. We won’t give any false promises and will seek to give the most competitive quote around.
If by chance you manage to find a cheaper quote elsewhere we promise to price match it. One other thing we can guarantee you of is that no-one else will be able to demonstrate the quality, dedication…
An investigation conducted by consumer body Which? has found that each of the big six energy companies are failing to offer customers their cheapest available tariffs. This is usually because workers at each of the energy providers tend to fail to understand which the best deal is for customers.
Homeowners are widely encouraged to shop around for cheap energy tariffs by the government and other energy-related bodies, but this news will hardly fill them with confidence. However, those who tend to have to do this are those who have yet to realise the potential of double glazing in Cumbria.
They need to come to terms with the fact that traditional windows are simply ill-equipped to deal with cold weather and more often than not allow to creep into the home. This is because both the glass and frame are poor at insulating heat and tend to…
