Everybody Loves The Sunshine In A Conservatory

Author: Conservatories & Double Glazing Expert  |  Leave a Comment >>

The grass has started growing again and those flowers you planted in the summer are slowly starting to grow, it must mean that summer is on the way. When the sun is shining there is nothing that we like to do more than go out into the garden and soak up some rays. But it is not always possible for us to do this as we may have work to do or need to look after the kids. Installing a conservatory means that you can enjoy the best of both worlds.

Because most conservatories are made of a solaris polycarbonate roof, it means that up to 80% of the sun’s solar energy will be prevented from entering the conservatory through the roof, helping to maintain a comfortable internal temperature. Therefore you can sit back and relax in your conservatory and enjoy your garden from the indoors without feeling uncomfortably hot.…

Whatever The Size Of Your Home Double Glazing Can Make A Difference

Author: Conservatories & Double Glazing Expert  |  Leave a Comment >>

One of the main concerns when moving into a new property is heating. None of us want to live in a home which suffers from draughts, resorting in us having to wear layers of layers of clothing when indoors. We want to live in a home which will provide us with the level of heating we require throughout the year, no matter how cold it gets.

Double glazing in Lancaster is a sure fire way of ensuring that when heat is generated in the home, little of it will be lost through your windows. You may not have been aware that your windows and doors are the main culprits when it comes to loss of heat in the home, and you were wondering why your heating bills are so costly, now you know why! The bigger your home, the more you rely on your heating, making the installation of double…

uPVC Conservatories & Orangeries – find out more online

Author: Steven  |  Leave a Comment >>

Over the past twenty years uPVC conservatories have become very popular and now with the creation of the orangery which has been dubbed as the next generation of conservatory they are set to continue to be popular for many years to come. The great thing about uPVC conservatories and orangeries is that they are an affordable way of adding extra living space to your home. No longer are conservatories and orangeries just used as a place for growing exotic plants they are now used for a variety of purposes.

The most common use for conservatories and orangeries is to provide an additional lounge area a space for relaxing, entertaining and watching television but with a unique atmosphere. The large windows and glass roof gives the room a light and airy feel which makes it a great place to relax and enjoy the outdoors when the weather stops you from going…

Replacement patio door, Barrow

Author: Steven  |  Leave a Comment >>

After coming to Planet South Lakes last year for our bespoke conservatory, we knew that we would get service with you.

We came this time to install our replacement patio door. Obviously for a job like this, you want to go with someone you can trust, and we knew that would be you.

The patio door price was very good value for money and the installation was carried out very efficiently despite annoying weather conditions of wind and rain. The fitters worked incredibly hard and we are delighted with the final result.

The staff were excellent and did a fantastic job dealing with all of our queries. We recommended you to our next door neighbours after you fitted our conservatory in Barrow and they’ve just ordered one of your contemporary orangeries, so we’ll be very keen to see how good that looks when it’s finished.

Will you also…

Shelter from unpredictable weather conditions with Planet South Lakes orangeries and conservatories.

Author: Steven  |  Leave a Comment >>

If like many people here in the UK you wish you had more time to enjoy your garden and outdoor space but find yourself hindered by the weather then pay attention. The changeable weather here in the UK (and especially where I live in the Barrow & Lancaster area) always seems to spoil things.

We can experience a few days of sunshine only to find that the rest are full of torrential rain or winds. This of course ruins any plans to enjoy that ‘precious ‘garden time leaving us stuck in our homes unless we want to get wet.

But what if there was a way to enjoy the best of both worlds? Wouldn’t it be better if we had somewhere we could shelter from the Great British weather but still gave upon the beautiful foliage in our garden? An orangery or conservatory could provide the perfect solution…

Conservatories & Orangeries on the agenda as home-owners look to improvements

Author: Steven  |  Leave a Comment >>

Home-owners across Lancashire and Cumbria are looking to conservatories, orangeries and other home improvements as a faltering property market forces movers to stay put and improve their homes.

The recent credit-crunch and well-documented fall in house prices has meant that many simply cannot afford to move home and are forced to seek home improvements to enhance their living space.

The Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors recently reported that housing transactions are at their lowest point since 1978. According to research from Sainsbury’s Bank, this has led to 21% of homeowners contemplating improvements over the next 12 months as opposed to moving house.

Reports suggest that 5.3 million homes are planning some form of structural work – of these, 1.2 million are looking to build a conservatory.

As one of the most versatile ways to improve your home, conservatories are cool in summer, warm in winter…
