Make An Impression With New UPVC Doors And Conservatories
Author: Conservatory Expert | Leave a Comment >>In the current housing market, due to a lack of potential buyers many homeowners are really struggling to sell their properties. The economic situation within the UK has meant that it has become much harder for first time buyers to get a mortgage or save up for a decent deposit. This means that when you do get someone to look around your house, you really need to impress.
With this in mind many people are beginning to realise the importance of making a few home improvements as a way to maximise the potential value of their properties. As with everything in life, first impressions do count and your home is no different. The first thing that any new visitor to your property sees is your front door so it should be of a high standard if you want to influence their decision. Replacing an old rotting timber framed door with a modern UPVC door has proved over the years to add value to any property. Unlike wood, UPVC won’t warp and rot, something that will appeal to potential buyers.
Another home improvement that is guaranteed to impress and add value to your property is a conservatory. Space is something that everyone wants when they are looking for a new home and a conservatory is an easy way of giving it to them. Designed to complement your home, conservatories are available in various styles. No matter what type of property you have, whether it be a bungalow, terraced…
Conservatory Outlet Congratulates Door-Stop
Author: Conservatory Expert | Leave a Comment >>The 35,000th prepped slab for composite doors has rolled off the production line at Door-Stop’s factory in Huthwaite, Nottinghamshire. Since launching in 2008, Door-Stop has also supplied nearly 200,000 door-sets.
One of Door-Stop’s most high-profile customers and supporters is Conservatory Outlet, one of the UK’s leading home improvement companies and suppliers of conservatories and double glazing nationwide.
Matthew Glover, MD of Conservatory Outlet took time out to congratulate Door-Stop and their MD Nick Dutton on their fantastic achievement by paying a visit to their premises, and says:
“We expect to see further growth in composite doors driven by the new Door Energy Ratings scheme (DERs), their long life, attractive appearance, and the Green Deal which recognises the cost effectiveness of insulated front doors in lowering carbon.”
Door-Stop has its own in-house slab manufacturing facility, so supply of finished product isn’t solely dependent on the availability of imported slabs. Nick Dutton comments: “Recent industry slab shortages have been attributed to all sorts of reasons; even ships lost at sea. Because we make so much of what we sell, Door-Stop customers are unaffected by these sorts of shortages. We are ideally positioned to take up any slack in the industry.”
The market for composite doors is one of the fastest growing sectors in an otherwise shrinking UK window, conservatory and door industry. According to the latest Palmer report, composite doors increased by 30% in 2010 while PVC-U fell 22%. This growth is…
Conservatory Outlet Make Commitment To FIT Show
Author: Conservatory Expert | Leave a Comment >>Conservatory Outlet was one of the first companies to sign up as an exhibitor at the Fabricator Installer Trade (FIT) Show; the all new industry exhibition which was recently unveiled and which will take place during 16th-18th April 2013.
The Wakefield-based double glazing fabricator is keen to attract new installers from various regions of the UK to its network of customers and sees FIT Show as the perfect way to demonstrate its offering to potential Conservatory Outlet dealers.
In addition to its uPVC double glazing product range, which includes Energy Saving Trust Recommended windows, Secured by Design windows and doors, and luxury conservatories and orangeries, Conservatory Outlet will also promote the benefits of being part of its network of dealers. Members not only receive free sales leads, search optimised lead generating websites and bespoke marketing literature, but also the experience, advice and trade secrets of many other successful installers thanks to regular benchmarking exercises and network events.
Conservatory Outlet’s support of this new exhibition is unsurprising – managing director Matthew Glover is also the principle organiser of FIT Show and MD of FIT Events Ltd. – but as sales director Greg Kane explains, FIT Show will be an unmissable date in the 2013 calendar.
‘I’ve seen at first hand Matthew’s passion for delivering an exhibition that the industry can be proud of and that will get businesses talking, thinking and ultimately buying from one another. The marketing plan to attract trade…

Extensive research was carried out prior to the introduction of the event to ensure that the needs of both exhibitors and visitors were catered for. Located in the very heart of England, entrance to the FIT Show will be free and a range of affordable exhibition stand packages are available.
The inaugural FIT Show will also encompass a comprehensive seminar programme, innovative features, planned evening entertainment and networking opportunities as the organisers look to set up an event relevant to the industry in the 21st century.
Armed with a £500k marketing budget, the FIT Show will be heavily promoted in trade-related publications and across social media platforms over the next 14 months in the lead-up to the event so that the exhibition gets optimum exposure and…
Conservatories Add Bags Of Character To A Home
Author: Conservatory Expert | Leave a Comment >>There comes a point for every homeowner where they begin to fall out of love with their property as it loses its appeal and overall beauty. Everything else about where you live may be perfect. Your kids may be settled in their school, commuting to work is a breeze and you are located close or nearby all your friends and family.
But if when you get home at the end of a hard day of work you take no pride in the appearance of it then you know that the time has arrived when you need to give your property a bit of a facelift. This could involve giving it a repaint or redecorating the interior but for maximum impact why not think about installing an extension out the back so that you have more home to love.
What you have to bear in mind is that a conservatory won’t just extend the amount of space that you have at your disposal, but it will also add monetary value to property. Conservatories can on average add around 5% onto the overall value of your home. Though you may have no intention of relocating at this time it pays to think ahead as you could reap the benefits sometime in the future.
However, a conservatory needs to be chosen carefully as you need to be sure that it is in keeping with the existing appearance of your home. The last thing you want is to install a…
