5 Star Windows, a Worcester-based firm who supply high-quality conservatories and double glazing to homeowners in the Midlands, were extremely keen to show their support for the local Rugby Union side that have been existence since the 1870’s.

The name and logos of 5 Star Windows and Conservatory Outlet will be proudly displayed around the perimeter of the touchline at Sixways Stadium for the 18 domestic fixtures the club will be hosting this season.

The ground is open seven days a week, 52 weeks of the year for a variety of rugby conferences and events so the hoardings are certain to be viewed by a huge number of people.

The sponsorship deal will give Worcester Warriors the further much-needed investment they need in order to be able to compete against reigning champions Saracens and the other remaining 10 sides, in a league where they currently find themselves in 11^th position.

It also gives both conservatory specialists an opportunity to increase brand awareness amongst property owners in the Worcestershire region, an area where there is already a very healthy appetite for home improvements.

5 Star Windows already have an impressive showroom situated on Stanklyn Lane in Kidderminster and are widely viewed as being the leading force for home improvements in the Midlands.

The G Awards are the most prestigious double glazing and conservatories industry awards and to be shortlisted companies must demonstrate total pride and professionalism in every aspect of their business from sales and marketing to design and installation, right through to after-sales service.

West Yorkshire Windows are one of four shortlisted companies in the Installer of the Year category, and Clearview Home Improvements have been named as a finalist in the Conservatory Installer of the Year category.

The former was a founder member of the Conservatory Outlet network of dealers and the latter has been a Conservatory Outlet dealer ever since its establishment in 2008.

Wakefield-based West Yorkshire Windows also has luxury indoor showrooms in Leeds and Doncaster and has been trading continuously for over 18 years. The company will face stiff competition from three other very successful installers; Sherborne, KJM Windows and Alumet Systems.

Clearview Home Improvements now has four showrooms following the recent opening of a Nantwich branch and was also shortlisted in the G10 awards last year. To be victorious this year the North-West dealer company will have to outshine Charles Christianson, P&P Glass and Sherborne.

The winners will be announced live at the prestigious G11 Awards & Gala Dinner which will be hosted by comedian Sean Lock at the Hilton Park Lane Hotel in London, on 25 November.

But our success cannot just be put done purely to luck. A great amount of hard work and effort has gone into building the Conservatory Outlet brand and thanks to our ever-reliable workforce we still continue to produce the very finest conservatories in the industry.

We don’t just produce one type of conservatory, but several different conservatory designs. Lean to conservatories and Victorian conservatories are a good example of how we can create a beautiful home extension in two completely different ways but with the exact same quality.

Both types of conservatory offer the most luxuriously spacious form of home living. A location that is completely different to anything else in the home and a place you can turn to when you want to invite friends and family over to your home for some type of special occasion.

When it comes to installation, Conservatory Outlet offers the most comprehensive service. Every now and again, a homeowner will need to obtain planning permission before going ahead with a conservatory installation. We promise to deal with such issues on your behalf so that you can get on with deciding how you want to utilise the conservatory once the job has been completed.

You can even take advantage of our expertise in providing lighting, heating and plumbing solutions for conservatories so that your new extension gives you guaranteed value for money.

Explore Conservatory Outlet for yourself by visiting your local showroom. Don’t forget that we now offer a lifetime guarantee on all conservatories, such is our confidence in their performance qualities.

Installing a set of French doors or patio doors to your home will be one of the shrewdest moves you will ever make as each type of door gives you unrestricted access to your garden as and when you need it.

Patio doors work on sliding mechanism and open from side to side, rather than opening outwards and inwards. Therefore they take up very little space in the home and give you the largest possible door opening. Because of this they will also bring in a huge amount of fresh air on those occasions when temperatures reach an uncomfortable level in the home.

On the other side of the coin, French doors consist of two hinged doors which open both outwardly and inwardly. Although they will take up more space when fully opened, they will give you the fullest view of your back garden so that you can sit indoors or outdoors whilst looking on at nature. They also have a beauty to them that a conventional door simply cannot compete with.

There are also qualities that both types of door possess. Firstly, they will help flood your home with natural light throughout the day and secondly, because both are fitted with a tough locking system they will protect your home.

Once you have made your choice, why not combine it with one of the many conservatories now available.

Conservatory Outlet believes that a patio door is the smartest and most stylish way of making your way into the garden as with one simple slide you can leave the indoors for the outdoors. The look of a patio door is also likely to enhance the overall appearance of the rear of your home as it comes with an eye-catching UPVC frame and the thickest glass.

The glass used in any of our patio doors or conservatories will utilise the heat and light of the sun and beam it directly into your home so that the interior of your property feels comfortable enough to live in throughout the year. This can be achieved without any over reliance on your boiler.

The UPVC used to put together a patio door frame is the same material we use to construct a new conservatory. One of the main benefits of UPVC for the homeowner is that it is extremely easy to maintain and it doesn’t rot, warp or become less reliable at keeping out draughts as it ages. The same reliability cannot always be expected of traditional timber and other such materials. Even the glass requires little cleaning to get it looking as good as new.

Visit your local Conservatory Outlet showroom to see how a set of patio doors will change the way you move around your home.

Conservatory Outlet can help you on your way as we have the products and technical expertise to make your home a more attractive prospect to people looking to rent.

If your home is restricted in size purely because of how it was built or because the contents of your home have led to space disappearing, you should have a look into having a conservatory installed. A conservatory is a home extension well worth purchasing as it will bring an enormous amount of new-found space to your property.

Conservatories come in a variety of different forms at Conservatory Outlet. Victorian conservatories offer a traditional design and come multi-faceted, whereas lean to conservatories have a lean shape and are best suited in the smaller property.

When you make your property available for rent you will be able to pinpoint your conservatory as being a key feature and it could help add to the rental price. Being able to attract a high rental price will enable you to make good savings so that you can improve the property further in the future or even give you essential funds for buying another house when the buyers market picks up again.

You can see for yourself how Conservatory Outlet has managed to establish such a good reputation in the home improvement industry by paying a visit to your local showroom.

As you are well aware, a conventional door opens inwards or outwards depending on which side of the door you are located. Patio doors are a little bit different as although they can be controlled via a handle, they open from side to side. With one simple slide of a patio door, you can have instant access to your back garden.

This gives you the perfect chance to host a barbecue or even a summer party for your children, friends and family. Too few of us make the most of the patio area of our homes but a set of these doors give you that luxury.

Similarly styled and an equally as effective set of doors, French doors offer the same qualities that its patio equivalent provides, the main difference being that a French door opens inwards and outwards.

A new set of doors situated at the rear of your household will also be beneficial from a security perspective as they each come fitted with a sophisticated locking system. When properly locked, both types of door will protect your property and keep it out of the hands of thieves. The durability of the lock is also designed to last.

When you add a new set of doors or conservatories to your home, you will be unable to resist the urge to invite everybody round to see them in all their glory.

Too many UK homes and places of business are currently poorly insulated, leaking heat and wasting energy. This alone contributes over a quarter of the UK’s carbon emissions and also results in people having to fork out a fortune on energy bills.

Due to launch in late 2012, the Green Deal will give householders and businesses the opportunity to install energy efficiency measures without paying for it in advance. Instead, they will be able to approach their current energy provider for a loan to cover the initial cost and pay it back through the savings made on future energy bills.

Any savings made through a homeowner’s chosen energy efficient product must be equal to or greater than the costs attached to the energy bill. This means that over the 25 year lifespan of a product you could potentially earn more than you spend.

If there comes a time when you want to move home, your Green Deal payments will then be passed onto the new owner of your property. The energy efficiency of your property may even give buyers the incentive they need to put in an offer for your home.

The UK is committed to an ambitious greenhouse gas emissions reduction target of 80% by 2050 as part of The Climate Change Act 2008 and it is hoped that the Green Deal will enable them to reach this goal.

It isn’t clear yet exactly which type of energy efficient measures will qualify for the Green Deal. Although it is not expected that conservatories will be included, it is hoped that products such as double glazing, triple glazing and other types of replacement windows will be involved.

More details are expected to be announced before parliament takes its annual summer break so watch this space…

Patio doors are created using the very finest UPVC frame and the glazing within it will help keep you and your home warm at all times. Because of the thickness of the glass, you will find that it is also guaranteed to be energy efficient, working to bring heat in and trap it. Aesthetically, a patio door looks more than pleasing to the eye and will continue to do so without any maintenance needed.

To solely claim that a patio door only offers good looks would be doing it a disservice as it will help protect your home due to the sophisticated and tamper-proof locking system fitted to it. When correctly locked, it will act as a further layer of security.

For something equally as stylish but a little bit different, you should try a set of French doors. Rather than open from side to side like a patio door, a French door will open inwards and outwards and give you better opportunity to ventilate your property. During the summer months, you could potentially leave your French doors open throughout the day so that your household feels cool and comfortable.

You can even add such doors to conservatories so that you can leave your extension and make your way into the garden within seconds. Conservatory and garden living are two very special things so it makes sense to enjoy the best of both worlds and a set of French doors afford you that unique opportunity.
