Save Your Pennies By Double Glazing Your Cumbrian Home

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

Buying and then running and maintaining your own home is a very expensive business. Due to the ever-rising cost of household fuel one of the biggest outgoings for many people are the cost of their energy bills. Every single energy supplier in the UK has raised their prices at some point over the past 12 months and despite recent cuts, that upward trend is set to continue in future years.

The financial burden that homeowners have to shoulder with regards the cost of fuel can be reduced when they purchase double glazing in Sheffield. A double glazed window is efficient when it comes to ensuring that energy is used successfully and is wasted as little as possible.

This is the main issue with a single glazed window as it is simply unable to prevent heat from escaping and therefore results in your energy bills being more…

Battle Expensive Energy With Double Glazing From Planet

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

Incredibly, energy bills have almost doubled in just six years. A report in The Guardian states that the average energy bill in 2006 stood at around £700, whereas nowadays it now costs on average £1,259 to heat a household. This rise in household fuel is unprecedented and despite many of the energy suppliers pledging to drop their prices over the coming months, it will still leave many families with no other choice but to go without heat.

No-one should ever leave themselves in this position, but unless they shop around for the cheapest tariffs and invest in double glazing in Lancashire they will have no choice in the matter. Planet South Lakes understands this only too well which is why we urge anyone struggling to pay for energy to get their windows replaced at the very first opportunity.

Our fabulous range of windows are each designed…

We are of course talking about our Veranda conservatory. Not only does it offer the indoor living that you would associate with all of our conservatories in Lancashire, but it also includes bi-folding doors that when opened lead out onto a specially designed Veranda.

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

Everything ages over time; this is especially true of our homes. When you first move into a home it somehow feels fresh and exciting, consisting of a vibrant appeal that your previous property may have lacked. But the longer you live in a home, the more it can sometimes start to feel out-dated and in desperate need of a whole new look.

You can add a whole new dimension to your home and restore it to its former glory by installing an extension. Conservatories and orangeries promise to completely change the way you live your life in the home as they can be used in a multitude of different ways.

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

Very few people nowadays spend the whole of their life living in the same home.

Create Spacious New Living With Orangeries

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

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…

Planet Windows & Doors Launch New Animated TV Campaign

Author: Steven  |  Leave a Comment >>

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…

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

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…
