Hazlemere “the Home of Improvements”- true or false?

Author: Hazlemere Windows  |  Leave a Comment >>
It depends what you mean by the “home”? If you view “the home” as a permanent shelter to keep you safe warm and dry, then then the statement is true. However if you think of your home only as your internal living space (i.e. your kitchen, living room and bedroom), then the statement would be false, as Hazlemere does not sell kitchen or bathroom furniture, plumbing or electrical appliances.

However without the right protective outer waterproof and insulated “shell”, there would be not point in having anything of value internally. The Hazlemere Group specialises in high quality products to strengthen the outer core of your living space, to ensure you the warmth, security and energy efficiency that modern materials and technology now offers.

So if you view your dwelling as…

Government tighten rules on conservatory construction

Author: Hazlemere Windows  |  Leave a Comment >>
I came across a genuinely interesting article posted on the Telegraph website on Tuesday 2nd December entitled “Government rules will make new conservatories kinder to the environment.” If you ever considering buying a conservatory it is one of the most helpful articles you can read, as it emphasises how essential it is to ensure you use energy efficient glass throughout your conservatory installation, or you will end up paying the price through increased energy bills in the future.

I know from visiting homes with conservatories that it is true most homeowners tend to leave the French Doors or Sliding Patio Doors that lead onto their conservatory open, or in some cases have had them…

Double glazing really does keep out the noise & cold!

Author: Hazlemere Windows  |  Leave a Comment >>

Having lived with my wife in a refurbished maisonette above Boots the Chemist in Beaconsfield New Town (that clearly previously had issues with cold and damp) I do not know how we would have coped without double glazing. Boots is also next to Beaconsfield Train Station, but the real problem was the car horns, the screeching of breaks and accelerating cars at night, compounded by shop burglar alarms regularly going off.

I can therefore truly empathize with Himanshi Chawia who works at Langley Green Parade in Crawley, and lives above one of the flats above the shops. Having lived there without double glazing I do not know how she coped. However, commenting on the current refurbishment of Langley Parade and the flats above on the Crawley News website she…

Be wary of double glazing firms requiring a deposit

Author: Hazlemere Windows  |  Leave a Comment >>

With so many builders, developers and double glazing companies in the UK now going into administration and/or liquidation because of the credit crunch, it is always wise to think very carefully before parting with a deposit, as you need to be sure that whoever you are dealing with is well established, have an excellent reputation, along with the resources to complete a project, plus will be around for the entire period of the guarantee “promised”. If your project is a large one (or the deposit you are being asked for is more than about 15%), do please consider carrying out a credit check on the company you intend to deal with before parting with your savings!

A recent example of what can sadly happen to folk who part with…

25% of homes making occupants sick

Author: Hazlemere Windows  |  Leave a Comment >>

According to an article on the New Zealand Herald website yesterday, a survey of 3,500 households commissioned by “The New Zealand Business Council for Sustainable Development” says that ”a quarter of a million homes are so cold, damp and poorly built they are causing serious health problems.”

The report says it is not just a problem with old homes. “Many new homes and renovated homes lack adequate insulation, heating, ventilation and double glazing.” People responding to the survey stated that “mould and damp had caused their children to be repeatedly admitted to hospital wth respiratory and other health problems.”
