Welcome to Planet South Lakes Blog

Dear Sir/Madam,

I’m writing on behalf of me and my wife, as we recently purchased a Conservatory. The installers have been around this week, making sure it’s fitted exactly how we want. We are very pleased with the fitters, as they did a very good job and listened to everything we wanted the conservatory to look like.

We decided that we wanted uPVC Windows, as we’d been recommended them by our next door neighbours, they look really nice and are very secure.

My wife suggested that we get had Composite Doors installed, I don’t really know about them, but they work really well and it’s very nice to be able to open the front of the Conservatory fully.

The fitters were also very good at cleaning their mess. We expected some mess, but they were very good at cleaning it as they went. So can you please thank them for being very professional and overall very efficient.

Thank you once again for our new uPVC Conservatory.

Yours Sincerely,
Mr Timbert

Are you looking for an extension to your beautiful home?

Planet South Lakes have a fantastic range of conservatories available, both traditional and contemporary in design. The choice includes bespoke conservatories, gable conservatories, victorian conservatories, edwardian conservatories, p-shape conservatories and lean-to conservatories.

If you’re looking for a more traditional design then the edwardian or victorian conservatory may be what you’re looking for. Or if you’re after a more Mediterranean feel, the lean-to conservatories may be more what you’re looking for. The lean-to conservatories are rectangularly designed and are able to be installed in more awkward areas than other designs.

But if you’re looking for a modern, contemporary conservatory, look no further than our fantastic range of orangeries.

Orangeries create an extremely warm space, which can be the focal point of social occasions, or merely just a place to relax. The double glazed roofs create a light and open feel to the room to create an extremely unique living space.

Bespoke orangeries mean that you can create your orangery exactly how you desire it to be built. These can look absolutely outstanding, as they are built to your exact requirements.

So if you’re searching for a contemporary attachment to your house, please take a look on our website for further information.

The sole purpose of a conservatory is to enjoy the surrounding landscape within your home whilst being sheltered from unpleasant weather conditions. As conservatories are mostly made from glass it is important that they last for a long time which means they withstand external conditions such as severe weather. They should also insulate your home and provide security and comfort. For these purposes it is beneficial for your conservatory to be made from double glazing.

Double glazing was filed for a US patent in October 1989 by inventors Dariush Arasteh, John Hartmann and Stephen Selkowitz and the patent was issued just over two years later in November 1991. Double glazing works by spacing two or more sheets of glass apart and then hermetically sealing them to form a single glass unit with air between each sheet. The technical term for double glazing windows is insulated or thermal glass as the production of such windows was not solely exclusive to two panes of glass. However as most of the windows were manufactured using only two sheets of glass the term double glazing stuck.

Double glazing is one of the simplest ways of saving energy in your home as they greatly reduce the amount of heat that is lost in your home. Due to this they can be classed as a very sustainable piece of technology as the use of central heating in the home is immensely cut. Moreover the troublesome condensation and damp problems caused by single glazed windows is non-existent in double glazing. Condensation is created due to the contrasts of the air within our home and the outside environment. The air in our homes contains many droplets of water resulting from the use of kettles and even our breathing. The warmer the air gets the more water it can hold until it reaches a limit and becomes saturated. When the saturated air comes into contact with a surface which is cooler then itself it forms vapour on the surface. Double glazing combats this as the trapped air within the two panes of glass does not mix with either the room air or the outside air, and therefore creates an insulation barrier.

For the same reasons double glazing also prevents the amount of noise that enters the home. The trapped air or ‘insulation barrier’ also creates a vacuum of air which prevents the majority of sound frequencies from entering our home. In a world of increasing noise pollution created from cars on our roads and airplanes in our skies this is another perk that double glazing offers. This is important for your conservatory as there is a large amount of glass meaning that a lot of noise can enter the home.

Double glazing windows also give your home a heightened sense of security. The robust frames that now come with these types of window feel much more durable and the fact that they are visibly more secure gives you a much added sense of comfort within your home. For these reasons double glazing windows are ideal for windows in your home or business and are a very good for conservatories which require many groups’ windows within a confined space of the home.

Aesthetically double glazing is also superior to its predecessors in that they come in many different styles and materials and so really make your conservatory look modern. They do commonly come in UPVC which is what may spring to mind if you think of double glazing however they are also come in wood which gives them a more traditional look.

Modern design should really take into account sustainably in a world where there is apparent global warming. Double glazing is the way forward now and is not just an investment in improving your home and standard of living but also an investment to improve the future.
