Why Planitherm glazing saves property owners energy
Author: Mark Austin | Leave a Comment >>According to the Planitherm.com website “a staggering 26% of all domestic heat loss escapes through the windows. Installing energy efficient windows can save you up to 28% per year on your heating bills compared to traditional windows and frames.

Double or Triple Glazing – Which is Better?
Author: Mark Austin | Leave a Comment >>Triple glazed UPVC casement or tilt and turn windows, plus front doors, back doors and French doors are not that much more expensive than double glazing. Properly installed UPVC triple glazing offers unrivalled value for money when household energy savings and consequent financial savings are taken into account (i.e. painting and decorating), not to mention the other benefits of triple glazing over double glazing.
Top quality UPVC triple glazing, with a U-value of 1.0 W/m²k, is around 40% more thermally efficient that standard “A”-rated double glazing and 60% more thermally efficient than standard “C”-rated double glazing. This is a great benefit to UK home owners bearing in mind that between 2003-2009 gas prices (i.e. heating bills) rose by an average of 14% each year. Unfortunately,…

Dining out at the 2 star Michelin Hand and Flowers
Author: Mark Austin | Leave a Comment >>Made my first trip to the Hand and Flowers restaurant in Marlow, having heard about it being awarded a second Michelin star via both the television and the local newspaper several months ago. Despite booking over 3 months in advance we were unable to get in on their first sitting, so had to settle for the second sitting at 8.30pm. You certainly can’t just turn up and buy either a drink or hope to get an empty table, as you’ve got no chance as I had asked to go earlier if they got a cancellation, which of course they didn’t!
Despite having a pub layout, it is quite small and has…

Aluminium Conservatories At Hazlemere – Worth The Extra Investment
Author: Tarriq | Leave a Comment >>The traditional conservatory was predominantly constructed using timber as this was the chief material available at the time. Then along came UPVC, a weather-resistant material which helped revolutionise the market and was more reliable when it came to ensuring that the extension never became too cold in winter or too hot in summer. However, things have progressed further and Hazlemere are now able to offer you the aluminium conservatory.
Aluminium conservatories share many of the same qualities that UPVC provides with some added extras on top. Aluminium is one of the most durable and strong materials in existence so is ideally suited to conservatories as you can rely on it to stay strong in the face of harsh conditions. This means that it will provide…
