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.

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 and can be used all year round. They can be used for entertaining, as an elegant dining or casual sitting room. A conservatory could also make the perfect home office environment, a playroom for the kids, or even a kitchen.

It is this versatility which makes conservatories one of the most popular forms of home improvement.

In addition to this, erecting a conservatory could save the hassle of moving home, which studies show to be one of the most stressful experiences that most people face in life.

A spokesman for Planet South Lakes, specialists in conservatories & orangeries across Lancaster, Kendal and Barrow-in-Furness had this to say.
“Conservatories are a great way to add extra living space and improve the value to your home. If you are not in a position to move, then a conservatory is certainly something you should consider.”

“We are expecting to be very busy over the next 12 months and beyond, as more and more people experience the benefits of our conservatories.”
