Conservatory Outlet Gains A Footing In Kent

Friday, December 16th, 2011

Eden Windows, Doors & Conservatories of Kent has become the newest member of the Conservatory Outlet network and the seventh installer to join in the last twelve months.

Based in Gillingham, Eden will now supply homeowners in ‘The Garden of England’ with Conservatory Outlet products including conservatories and double glazing; something which will be reflected in the company’s imminent showroom refurbishment. Supported by Conservatory Outlet, Eden have designed what is set to be one of the best conservatory showrooms in Kent and plan to open a second within the next twelve months.

Following the establishment of several dealers in and around London, the South East represented natural progression for Conservatory Outlet as the fabricator strives to achieve full UK coverage via its network of installer-customers.

Similarly Eden was the natural choice within this area because of its experience and success throughout Medway, Canterbury and Tonbridge. Indeed one of Eden’s first orders placed with Conservatory Outlet was for a conservatory with a retail value of £55,000.

As a result of joining the Conservatory Outlet network, Eden will now be the sole recipient of the relevant leads generated by Conservatory Outlet’s main retail-facing website as well as those generated by its own brand new website, also provided by Conservatory Outlet.

The installer will also benefit from provisions of high quality bespoke brochures, a 24/7 electronic quoting and ordering system, and the trade secrets of many other successful installers within the network.

‘I’ve always felt that a Conservatory Outlet dealer would prosper in Kent because of the style of properties and relatively affluent demographic in the area. I’m delighted that this dealer is Eden Windows.’ said Greg Kane, sales director of Conservatory Outlet.

Commenting on the partnership Paul Kelly, managing director of Eden Windows, said; ‘Conservatory Outlet dealers are among the best installers in the country and I wanted Eden Windows to be part of this elite network. What’s more, within days of our new website going live we started to receive leads which have now been converted into sales and finished installations.’

Local Man Benefits From The Kindness Of West Yorkshire Windows

Tuesday, December 13th, 2011

West Yorkshire Windows, Conservatory Outlet and Custom Glass collectively came to the rescue of a 91-year-old man who had been without windows in the front of his house for almost two years.

The man’s house in Wakefield, West Yorkshire, had been subject to continued vandalism by youths from the area in recent years. When the single glazed windows at the front of the house were smashed in 2010, the local victim support charity were only able to board the windows up, leaving the living room, main bedroom and bathroom with no natural light.

Following further vandalism at the property earlier this year, PC Chris Schofield of West Yorkshire Police, decided to go beyond the call of duty by appealing to local businesses that could potentially help to repair the victim’s home and improve the quality of his life.

‘It seemed that the young people in the area thought it was ok to vandalise the property because it already looked in such a poor state – I felt that a new set of windows would go a long way towards preventing repeat vandalism, as well as vastly  improving the living conditions for the owner,’ said PC Schofield.

Wakefield-based West Yorkshire Windows was PC Shofield’s first port of call and the conservatories company showed no hesitation in offering its support by agreeing to supply and install double glazing completely free of charge.

As a member of the Conservatory Outlet network of dealers, West Yorkshire Windows enjoys a close relationship with its main supplier and after hearing about these exceptional circumstances, Conservatory Outlet opted to manufacture and supply the frames at no cost. This generosity was matched by West Yorkshire Windows’ glass supplier, Custom Glass, who also donated the double glazed units.

Needless to say West Yorkshire Windows – shortlisted for the G11 Installer of the Year Award – covered the installation of the casement windows and even finished the job with a new pair of curtains in time for when the elderly man returned to his home, after a period in respite care.

Jo-ann Bowles, sales manager at West Yorkshire Windows, said; ‘As a well-known and successful company, we found ourselves in a position to make a really big difference to a local man’s life and to reward the genuinely extraordinary work of PC Schofield – we simply couldn’t say no. A big thank you must also go to Conservatory Outlet and Custom Glass for contributing to this cause.’

A close friend of the elderly man who oversaw the installation praised West Yorkshire Police, PC Schofield and triple glazing specialists West Yorkshire Windows for their efforts.

Home Living Is Best Enjoyed In A Conservatory

Sunday, December 4th, 2011

Cutting the front and back lawns of your home are something you will not have to think about doing for the next few months. Nor will you be able to get out and enjoy the garden as much as you should have done this summer. But that does not mean that you cannot enjoy your garden in other ways! A conservatory is the perfect vantage point from which to enjoy the garden in all weathers.

Anyone who buys conservatories should expect their chosen installer to position it in a place where it will benefit from the most amount of natural sunlight. Not only that, but it should also be put in close proximity to the back garden, so that you feel as if you could almost reach out and touch it.

You should get a full view of your back garden so that you can sit and admire it rain, wind or shine. A conservatory will also come with double glazing ready-installed so that you don’t need to panic about it becoming too cold during the winter months. Even in the summer your windows will do their best to make sure that it doesn’t feel overly hot, reflecting away any excess heat.

It is entirely up to you how you utilise a conservatory as there are many different possibilities. Some will look to transform it into a separate dining room, while others may prefer to use it as a base from which they can work away from the office. Whatever you decide to do, make sure that it is entirely beneficial to the whole of the family so that everyone can enjoy it together as it really is a location for all the family.

Want to bring further warmth into the confines of your home? How about buying some replacement windows!

UPVC Windows Provide UK Families With Guaranteed Warmth

Thursday, December 1st, 2011

A uSwitch survey has shown that as many as 23 million households in the UK will go without heating at some point this winter. That works out at around 9 out of 10 households! The main reason for this drastic course of action is because of the ever increasing costs of energy bills.

Many of those hardest hit by pricey heating bills are those who have yet to replace their traditional windows, a chief cause of such financial strife. Therefore it makes sense for anyone forced to pay a high price for energy to invest in some UPVC windows with double glazing included.

This is because any heat generated in the home will be trapped by the glass contained within a UPVC window so that you can use your boiler far less frequently. All the draughts that you would notice in the past because of your old windows will disappear in an instant when you appoint an installer to fix the problem with modern-day replacements.

The overall cost of living has gone up in recent times which is another reason why people are being forced to rely on their heating system less. A new set of windows will solve that problem and allow you to spend your disposable income elsewhere.

Although the windows are the main cause of heat loss in the home, another source of the problem can be the front and back doors of the home. If you suspect that cold air is passing through either of your doors you should exchange them for UPVC doors. As with a UPVC window they will store heat and warm up your home at any time of the year.

The money you save on energy due to the successful performance of new windows and doors will more than justify the initial cost of paying for them.

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.

Conservatory Outlet Boss Makes The Cut

Sunday, November 13th, 2011

Matthew Glover, Managing Director of Conservatory Outlet, one of the country’s leading home improvement companies, has ranked highly in Window Industries annual top 30 influential list.

Window Industries is a monthly magazine for double glazing, door and conservatory fabricators and installers and is the longest established magazine for the UK’s fenestration industry.

Each year the publication lists who it feels are the top 30 most influential people in the window, conservatories and door industry and Matthew finished a very respectable 6th in the list.

The editor of Window Industries had this to say about Matthew and his company:

“Conservatory Outlet is perhaps the most influential fabricator in the UK currently, having set the standard for marketing that many others are now trying to emulate, but so far few if any are showing signs of the success enjoyed by Conservatory Outlet and its customers.

Still everywhere in the market, despite dropping out of GlassTalk, Matthew seems to have a finger in every blog, pie, cause and charity.

With Conservatory Outlet, Matthew Glover has created a hugely successful and unique fabricator business model. The Conservatory Outlet network comprises of a relatively small number of installation companies – 17 at present – but serves approximately 50% of the UK per capita.

The network continues to grow both organically and with the addition of other successful regional installers, attracted by the fabricator’s lead generation and marketing support.

A renowned blogger and one of the founders of GlassTalk Live, Matthew has recently become the vice chairman of the GGF Marketing & Communication Committee, being influential in the decision to redevelop the GGF website.”

Double Glazing Is The Key To Cheaper Energy

Thursday, November 10th, 2011

Fuel poverty is of grave concern throughout the UK. In Scotland alone it is predicted that around one million homeowners are living in fuel poverty. As a result, the Scottish government has pledged an extra £5 million to help tackle it by providing property owners with heating systems and insulation.

Whether the coalition government will follow suit remains to be seen, but it would seem unlikely with widespread cuts being announced across the board and the possibility of another recession looming. This means that you may have to take responsibility for lowering the cost of fuel bills by yourself and adding UPVC windows to your home is a good place to start.

Many may shudder at the thought of double glazing and associate it with rogue salesman turning up at your front door, but the fact is that contemporary windows are essential in the modern home. It consists of two panes of glass which come fixed to a heat insulating UPVC frame designed to trap and store large pockets of heat.

This then gives you the luxury of being able to use your heating less which then cuts the cost of your energy bills and the amount of fuel that you use throughout the day, thus keeping you out of the fuel poverty that so many families across the land dread.

The chances of conventional energy coming down in price is slim to none as the current high cost of energy is in part due to the fact that supplies of it are slowly disappearing. Fossil fuels are a vital part of the very lifeblood of the planet in which we live so it cannot be reiterated enough just how important it is to store as much of it as we possibly can.

Do your bit and add some UPVC doors while you are at it!

Replacement Windows Promise You Cheaper Energy Bills

Tuesday, November 1st, 2011

The rising cost of energy is a concern for every homeowner. We have reached a point where we can no longer solely rely on conventional energy as it is in seriously short supply, hence why so many energy companies are announcing price rises on an almost monthly basis.

Anyone who owns or rents a home has to take responsibility for saving energy and a change of their windows is as good a place to start than any as traditional windows are the key reason why we have to rely on energy so much.

It has been estimated by many that around 25% of heat lost from the home is because of the poor performance levels of traditional windows as they offer poor insulation and tend to allow draughts into living spaces.

When cold air manages to creep its way into the home many will try to compensate for it by turning up their heating further, making the problem of dwindling energy even worse. However, all these problems can be solved in an instant when you install double glazing as replacement windows of this kind will store energy for long periods.

As with conservatories, any money that you invest into new windows will be money well spent and an investment that you can easily earn back thanks to the money you will save on energy. You could earn a tidy profit and will be helping to save the planet at the same time as it is essential that we all do our best to save on energy and keep it in decent supply for future generations.

Costly energy bills can be a huge burden on your finances but they shouldn’t be especially when you have home improvements such as double glazing widely available to help you prevent the price of energy becoming too much.
