Extend Your Home With An Orangery From Planet Conservatories

Author: Conservatory Outlet  |  Leave a Comment >>

Whenever we start to run out of room in our home we have to consider several options. We can move property but this could involve months of trying to sell your own property as well as having to sell your own and will also involve having to cough up the expensive fees of solicitors and removal firms. A brick built extension is a practical option, but they can sometimes look unsightly and planning permission may not be granted anyhow. The best and most elegant way of extending a home is through the installation of an orangery from Planet Conservatories.

Orangeries in the North West are considered by many to be an upmarket version of the traditional conservatory, a more stylish and good looking counterpart. As opposed to conservatories in the North West and conservatories in Lancashire which are usually predominantly composed of uPVC, an orangery is mostly made up of brick, so therefore it is more likely to slot in with the look of your home more easily.

If you have set your heart on getting an orangery installed, make sure you thoroughly research the market as it is an expensive investment and you need to be certain that it will not look out of place. Pick up brochures and see what local dealers can offer you, obtain quotes from a variety of them and check up on each of their track records on the internet or by asking around the local community.…

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

Author: Conservatory Outlet  |  Leave a Comment >>

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

Bring A Splash Of Colour To Your Home With Composite Doors

Author: Conservatory Expert  |  Leave a Comment >>

With the housing market currently suffering a downturn, it is vitally important that you make your home as appealing as possible in order to increase the chances of a potential sale. As estate agents and buyers approach the front of your home you want them to be taken aback by it and make it as eye catching and memorable for them as possible. You can usually achieve this just by making one slight alteration, replacing your current front door.

There is a new type of door on the scene which is appearing at the front and back of homes, namely the composite door. The reason being is that they are now seen as being the market leader when it comes to doors, due to their good looks and the plethora of colour options that can be applied to them. They are made of some of the thickest, quality material available, meaning that homes will also be kept warm throughout the year, no matter what the temperature is outside.

Composite doors are also a proven way of keeping your home more secure as they come fitted with a Yale locking system and key, Yale being one of the premier lock makers around. Because of the way they are crafted and designed it also means that irritants such as flaking and fading will no longer occur. Maintenance of composite doors is virtually minimal when compared to a traditional door, with just a good wipe down usually enough to leave it looking as…
