Welcome to Planet South Lakes Blog

They say that first impressions count for a lot. Nowhere can this be best demonstrated than within the home. If you are interested in buying a property you will only want to move into somewhere that looks aesthetically pleasing. The same rule applies if you are happy in your home and want to some how change its appearance in some way. Planet can help you do this as we are specialists in the field of home improvements.

Patio doors can commonly be found in most newly built homes as they are a way of extending your indoor living space into the outdoors, while also providing you with extra light and beautiful views. We install the doors so that they can be slid open with ease, ideal for those days when you need an extra bit of ventilation when the weather is at its warmest. The patio area of a home is often neglected, but just think about the many different ways in which it can be utilised. You can host a barbecue for friends and family or just let the kids play on there with their favourite toys and games.

One thing that may be concerning you is the fact that if you have new doors installed, it is providing potential intruders with another way of accessing your home. Planet has designed the doors with this in mind as they come fitted with a secure locking system that is virtually impossible to pick or break into, meaning that you do not need to worry about leaving your home unattended with all your valuables left inside.

If you need any other sort of home improvement placing in your home, Planet can also offer you some of the most stylish and modern replacement windows and conservatories in the region, so you know who to call!

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.

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 thank David for helping us chose what colour and design to chose. He was really helpful at showing us what type of design would suit our needs.

Our thanks once again and we wish you all the success in the future.

Interest in DIY, home improvement and interior design is growing rapidly and with an increase in paid holidays, more and more people are spending their extended leisure time decorating their homes. Changes in the housing market have also led more people to follow the advice of property experts in the media for ways in which to improve their property. One issue that is mentioned time and time again is the issue of open plan naturally lit areas. One way to overcome this issue is to install patio doors.

As standard, Patio doors are comprised of two large glass panels encased in a wooden or PVC frame that function using a sliding mechanism. PVC patio doors are gradually replacing traditional wooden doors and are available in a variety of different colours and styles, with more advanced safety features. Due to the hard wearing and durable PVC material these patio door do not require polishing or painting so are easier to maintain than wooden doors.

The range of sliding patio doors available from Planet South Lakes is an impressive collection of high quality stylish doors that come in a variety of designs. There are also many advanced safety features incorporated into Planet South Lakes collection of Patio doors.

All patio doors can be custom made and due to a special assembly process implemented by Planet South Lakes each door is fitted with high security hook bolts that lock in to a one-piece steel keep plate. The stainless steel slide mechanism of all our patio doors makes opening and closing the doors effortless even for small children, and like our range of French doors, our patio doors are also fitted with an anti-slam device.

The decision to install or replace existing patio doors has improved the visual aesthetics of many properties and choosing the right company from your home improvement project is important. There are hundreds of styles and designs of patio doors available from numerous manufacturers worldwide.  However, it should not just be about the quality and value for money of the products themselves. You should also consider how experienced a supplier is, and how forthcoming they are with ideas and advice.
