Welcome to Planet South Lakes Blog

Its funny but a door alone can say a lot about someone’s home. The sight of a worn and tired front door by a passer-by can give the impression that the interior of the property is probably just as bad, even if the interior is actually beautifully arranged and decorated.

A good looking door and windows can bring a certain touch of glamour to a property all on their own. With this in mind you should make sure that you buy a door which suits the current look of your home and with colours commonly available from white to black, red to blue, oak to rosewood, you should be able to find something suitable for your home. Most new doors also consist of decorative glass which can help bring a refreshing new look to any entrance.

But don’t just focus on the front door. The back door is regularly targeted by burglars and often left neglected by home owners, something which many live to regret. The modern door comes with multi-point locking mechanisms and is made of the very best PVC material to ensure protection and easy maintenance.

Perhaps you’re home doesn’t allow in as much natural light as you’d like, there’s nothing nicer to boost your mood than having a living room bursting with sunshine. If this is the case then why not install French or Patio doors, as not only will they let more light in, but they provide the perfect gateway to the garden and can help extend your dining room area.

Always check out your existing doors for drafts, flimsiness and overall deterioration, if any of this is present then you need to get them replaced as soon as possible. Why not pay a visit to your local Planet South Lakes showroom to see doors in Morecambe close up, as well as conservatories in Cumbria and Double Glazing in Barrow-in-Furness.

The majority of people care about the appearance of their homes. Whether you are building a new house or improving an existing one Planet South Lakes can supply the very best home improvement products to help you achieve the exact look you want.

With a combination of outstanding customer service, solid guarantees and bespoke design they are confident they have something to offer every homeowner in the North West.

PVC Conservatories
Planet South Lakes offer a completely bespoke design service, based on a variety of styles, which takes you right from the initial consultation in the Kendal showroom and includes all the building works, joinery and plumbing.  They will even provide an installation co-ordinator to make sure every stage of the construction goes smoothly.

Orangeries
Being the forerunner to the modern conservatory, often with a glazed roof, Orangeries prove to be a spacious and airy, yet cosy addition to any modern house, constructed with stone that will suit the style of the property itself.  A must for anyone wanting to add some old world panache, yet remain completely modern at the same time.

PVC Windows
Security is the order of the day with all the PVC windows that Planet South Lakes install.  As a member of FENSA, they take great pride in making sure all the windows they fit have the latest security features combined with an emphasis on ease of use.  Not only do they achieve this but their consultants will also make sure that from all the different varieties of windows  you choose, they will fit perfectly with the character of the building as well.

PVC Doors
Choose from a traditional PVC door to something more in line with safety and security like a stable door or residential PVC Rockdoor.  One thing you can be sure of is to get a door that is longer lasting, elegant and in a range of styles that will suit every taste and budget.  With a modern PVC construction you will never have to worry about them rotting, fading or the need to paint them ever again.

French Doors and Patio Doors
Offering an easy way to access the garden, patio or courtyard, French doors and patio doors are an old favourite and a great addition to any modern home.  Not only can they help to increase the value of your house, as will any Planet South Lakes product, they provide an invaluable cooling effect and improve air flow during the hot summer months.

Rooflines
Not a feature that readily springs to the mind of a homeowner, as a tidy roof line is something rarely noticed, yet a rotting, leaking, paint peeling one will always be spotted and reflected on by a visitor after they leave.  As the saying goes ‘you never get a second chance to make a first impression’ by having a PVC roofline fitted not only are you modernising your home but you are saving yourself the trouble of a lot of difficult ongoing maintenance.

Porches
For anyone wishing to add some extra space to the front of their property as well as some added elegance and style, a Planet South Lakes designer will work hand in hand with the homeowner to pick the best option for a front porch, as of course they do with any of their products.

A Planet South Lakes Spokesperson had this to add last week;
‘We are trying to achieve a situation where the homeowner has so much choice that we can  design a system that is truly bespoke and ticks all the right boxes to fit in perfectly with their desires and budget’

Home security is of paramount importance to us all, as we all like to feel safe when we are at home. Increasing crime statistics have meant that our efforts to keep our families safe in our homes have been stepped up. One way that you can strengthen the security of your home is by ensuring that you have high quality doors and windows.

Traditionally doors and windows were made and manufactured from wood but in recent years there has been an increasing rise in the popularity of PVC windows and doors. There are many potential reasons for this increase but perhaps the main factor is that of security. PolyVinyl Chloride or PVC is a highly valuable material used within the chemical and building industries. PVC is not only durable but it is also cheap and easy to manufacture making it one of the most popular materials in use today. It has also proven to be much harder to physically damage thus making it harder to break into.

French doors can make an elegant yet secure way to improve the look of your home. The French doors supplied by Planet South Lakes are a diverse assortment of quality PVC doors that are available in a mixture of colours, price ranges and can be custom made to suit any home. The design of the doors also ensures that each door has three hinges to distribute the weight evenly when they are hung. All French doors in Planet PVC’s collection are double glazed and come with a facility to lock both handles.

Security features high on Planet South Lakes specification list and as a result all French and patio doors come with ready fitted hinge protectors that prevent intruders using a crow bar to gain illegal access. There is also an option to fit restrictor hinges which can prevent damage to the door if for example, it is blown open by a strong gust of wind and all have multi-point locking systems as standard. Windows and doors that are made from PVC also protect your home from the damage that can be caused by the natural elements like the weather or condensation. All our products have weather seals and use energy efficient glass that can help to keep out noise and reduce condensation.

Planet South Lakes has a team of experts who between them have years of experience in the industry and will help you every step of the way from initial design choices through to final installation.
