Choose Contemporary Orangeries From Planet Conservatories

Tuesday, June 8th, 2010

The North West is not always renowned for getting the best of weather, but when it does you need to make the most of it. There is so much lovely scenery in the region and some of you may be lucky enough to have a great backdrop at your home. If you do then you should take advantage of it, especially on those rare sunny days during the summer months. The ideal place from where you can admire any views at the back of your home is from the comfort of an orangery.

Orangeries in the North West are believed by many to be a new and growing type of construction, a kind of beefed up version of the traditional conservatory. But, orangeries have actually been around for years and were previously used more as an area for growing plants and flowers. Like conservatories in the North West, many people have woken up to the usefulness of the orangery and are increasingly having them installed in their homes as a way of extending the size of their property.

They are also made up of less glass than a conservatory, so if you are worried that it will get too hot in the summer, then think again as the double glazing that is put inside an orangery is energy efficient and will keep it cool when necessary. In the unlikely event that it does get too warm, then you could install some blinds onto the windows which will keep out the glare and heat of the sun. If you fancy keeping your feet warm during the winter, heated flooring can be put down.

If you are currently considering buying Carnforth windows, then you are also urged to look into an orangery as there is no finer way of extending your home.

Planet Conservatories & Orangeries in Cumbria Won’t Need Planning Permission

Tuesday, June 1st, 2010

If you have been looking at conservatory or orangery designs – you may not be aware of the fact that conservatories and orangeries from Planet Conservatories are easier to build now than ever. Until a few years ago planning permission was necessary and as any homeowner knows, involving your local council in any form of paperwork is a long winded affair.

Today local authorities do not require planning permission for installing a conservatory or orangery to your home in the UK. There are certain conditions that do apply, however overall conservatories & orangeries do not need planning permission if you plan that your conservatory or orangery does not cover more than fifty percent of the land that the home occupies.

  • You do not intend to build the conservatory or orangery on the same side of the house that fronts a highway. This rule applies to conservatories on the front back and side, you cannot build one on a side of the house that is parallel to a road.
  • You cannot build any part of the conservatory or orangery higher than the existing highest point on your roof – this regulation regarding the height of the conservatory can only be important on a bungalow.
  • If you are building a conservatory or orangery solely on the rear of the house than it can only extend beyond the outer wall by three meters if the house is attached to another. However if you have a detached house then the conservatory can be four meters.
  • Side conservatory or orangeries can be built up to four meters high and a width of no more than half the width of the original house width. Unless of course the side fronts a highway and then you cannot build one at all.
  • The roof height can only be to the first storey if you have more than one story.
  • The conservatory or orangery must be closed in it cannot have any other extraneous extensions such as a conservatory balcony or a conservatory verandah. Simply put your conservatory can only be one structure with no conservatory extensions.
  • Finally designated land cannot have a rear conservatory or orangery of more than one storey. Cladding cannot be used and side conservatories are forbidden. Designated land means areas of natural beauty such as the Norfolk broads, conservation areas, national parks and world heritage sites.

Beat Crippling Energy Bills With New Double Glazing From Planet

Wednesday, May 19th, 2010

It would seem that every time you pick up a newspaper or turn on the national news, there is some report stating that energy bills are set to rise. The many electricity and gas companies claim that they are imposing this as householders need to rely less on their heaters at home and start helping save the planet.

As energy costs sky rocket through the roof, more people are checking out the value of installing new windows in Lancaster as a way of beating such price hikes. Although you may feel that the installation of double glazing is a pricey and unnecessary need or want, further down the line you will notice that double glazing is a perfect way of slashing money off heating bills.  They are a great long term investment.

This is because as uPVC windows are made of a harder and better composed material than say timber frames, it means they are more likely to prove to be a better insulator of heat.  As they are constructed of two panes of glass, it also means that it is virtually impossible for the glass to be removed or broken into, making your home a more secure place to live in.

Most window installers will supply windows in a variety of colours meaning that you can choose whichever most suit the look and feel of your home.  Therefore you need not worry that by losing your existing windows, you are going to lose the pleasing aesthetics of your property.

You must be aware though that you employ a reputable installation company to carry out the work.  Speak to friends and relatives and find out if any of them have previously had work done by one of the local installation company’s and see if they would recommend them to conduct work at your home.  If you want to further enhance the look of your home, have a think about also adding new doors in Barrow in Furness and conservatories in Cumbria.

Whatever The Size Of Your Home Double Glazing From Planet Can Make A Difference

Sunday, May 16th, 2010

One of the main concerns when moving into a new property is heating. None of us want to live in a home which suffers from draughts, resorting in us having to wear layers of layers of clothing when indoors. We want to live in a home which will provide us with the level of heating we require throughout the year, no matter how cold it gets.

Double glazing in Lancaster is a sure fire way of ensuring that when heat is generated in the home, little of it will be lost through your windows. You may not have been aware that your windows and doors are the main culprits when it comes to loss of heat in the home, and you were wondering why your heating bills are so costly, now you know why! The bigger your home, the more you rely on your heating, making the installation of double glazing even more important if you want to reduce those costs.

The installation of new windows in Kendal can also make your home look more attractive to anyone who passes it. Although double glazing can be a costly affair, over time you will more than recoup the amount of money you paid for them, they will eventually pay for themselves thanks to the huge savings they have earned you.

You also need to decide how you want your new window to operate.  Are you happy for them to just slide upwards or slightly tilt inwards, or would you prefer that they open fully inwards so that ventilation is enchanced? Have a look into tilt and turn, sash and casement windows and judge for yourself which version will most suit your needs.

If you only have a small property and little garden, then ponder conservatories in Barrow in Furness as they can bring a whole new dimension to a home.
