Mick Giscombe, Conservatory Outlet’s Managing Director, said: “Secured by Design is widely recognised as the leading industry standard when it comes to safety. It’s important for us to supply our Premium Retailers with products that meet these criteria as security remains a main priority for homeowners when they’re looking at purchasing new windows or doors.

“Our product range, including our exclusive Extreme, Envisage, Eclipse and Forte collections have been SBD accredited for over ten years now, and we’re pleased to renew our membership once again.”

 SBD Technical Manager, Alfie Hosker, said: “I am delighted that the Conservatory Outlet have renewed their SBD once again. This is the fourth time they have renewed their membership since they originally joined SBD back in early 2012. They have a large number of uPVC & Composite doorset ranges and uPVC Window ranges, all of which have achieved Police Preferred Specification. I look forward to another successful membership period with them”.
