Hazlemere Commercial’s Bideford College aluminium window, door & curtain walling installation in Devon
Author: Hazlemere Windows | Leave a Comment >>I’m delighted to say that Hazlemere Commercial, a major division of the Hazlemere Group, are proud of their involvement in the prestigious £2.2m double glazing project at Bideford College in Devon. Working with main contractors, Morgan Ashurst, on this impressive sustainability project, Hazlemere Commercial manufactured, supplied and installed all the commercial aluminium double glazed energy saving windows from Sapa aluminium profiles which had been made from recycled aluminium billet.

Hazlemere Commercial also manufactured and installed all the aluminium commercial entrance doors and commercial aluminium double glazed curtain walling on this new build project. Hazlemere started on site in the Spring of…
Hazlemere Windows, Doors & Conservatories are experts at improving homes – an eyewitness account
Author: Hazlemere Windows | Leave a Comment >>I imagine I am like a lot of people who prefer to see with their own eyes before believing! Since I joined the Hazlemere Group on 1st March 2008 I have been privileged to have been invited into dozens of satisfied Hazlemere customers homes, so I can personally give an eyewitness account of these Hazlemere’s double glazing and Roofline installations.
I am delighted (and relieved) that another one of my immediate “next door” neighbours in Beaconsfield, Bucks is pleased with their new Hazlemere conservatory. Having taken video and digital images of the entire project for my neighbours Victorian three faceted aluminium conservatory from beginning to end, I am thrilled they are so pleased with the quality of the product, installation and aesthetic result. The Pilkington Activ…
Step ten: Screeding the conservatory floor etc.
Author: Hazlemere Windows | Leave a Comment >>Having “waterproofed” a conservatory by fitting the double glazed glass or polycarbonate roof and installing all the double glazing, fitted the Roofline UPVC guttering and downpipes etc. you can then start to make the finishes touches to your conservatory. Ensure all electrical sockets and wiring for conservatory ceiling fans and lights is fitted prior to any plastering, so that the screeding of the conservatory floor can be done as the “final” job.
Many conservatory firms do not have the capacity to totally finish off a conservatory, as not every conservatory company suppliers and fits all you need. Another reassuring thing about dealing with the Hazlemere Group is that you can deal with one company who will not only design and build your conservatory, carry out…
Step nine: Fitting roofline UPVC guttering & downpipes
Author: Hazlemere Windows | Leave a Comment >>The significant rainwater runoff from any conservatory has to go somewhere, so when this Buckinghamshire aluminium conservatory project neared completion, the importance of a well built professional soak-away that Hazlemere Conservatories ground workers built in step one comes into perspective.
It is vital to have well fitted Roofline gutters, leading to plastic downpipes, which in turn flow straight into sunken plastic pipes that take the rainwater away from both the conservatory and property to a soak-away, located in the most appropriate place in one’s garden, borders or plot of land. By fitting low maintenace UPVC gutters and downpipes, all these will need externally is an occasional wipe down and checking from time to time there has been no build…
Step eight: Pilkington Activ Blue self cleaning glass
Author: Hazlemere Windows | Leave a Comment >>Of course you do not have to have a self cleaning glass conservatory roof, but obviously you will then always have to clean it yourself regularly or probably have to pay to have it done professionally. However, obviously all conservatories need a roof, and it always amazes me why anyone would have a polycarbonate conservatory roof. In my opinion, they look awful, stop light getting into the room, get dirty more easily, are not as energy efficient as double glazed sealed units and are very noisy when it rains. Despite this, clients still buy them simply because they are cheaper! I have personally spoken to many clients who come back later kicking themselves they did not invest in a high quality double glazed roof. Adding a double glazed roof…
Step seven: Installing the conservatory double glazing
Author: Hazlemere Windows | Leave a Comment >>Whether you are planning a UPVC or aluminium conservatory, it is essential to opt for energy efficient, energy saving double glazing to ensure you have the option to use your conservatory all year round. Investing in modern energy efficient double glazed sealed units is essential, and yes the best costs a little more, but oh how you may regret it in the winter if you opt for just “standard” double glazing, or worse still a polycarbonate roof! Whilst double glazing will never be as effective as insulated double skin cavity walls, remember that you want it to be performing the same role as near as possible, so go for Low E Argon filled sealed…
Step six: Erecting the aluminium Monaframe casement window system and Monarch conservatory frame
Author: Hazlemere Windows | Leave a Comment >>Having concluded all the major building works on this Beaconsfield conservatory project, Hazlemere’s conservatory installers carry out a quality check, before starting to erect the aluminium conservatory frame. Clients can in fact opt to have any of Hazlemere’s bespoke aluminium conservatories made in any RAL colour to match their existing window and door frames or personal requirements. In this case the client chose to have their Victorian aluminium conservatory manufactured in white, to blend in with the existing window and door frames.
The Monarch Monaframe aluminium casement window system that Hazlemere Conservatories used on this Victorian conservatory installation is fully weatherstripped and all component profiles incorporate thermal barriers. The Sapa Monaframe system’s capabilities and range of options, including those providing…
Step five: Laying the conservatory concrete floor base
Author: Hazlemere Windows | Leave a Comment >>Having completed the exterior brickwork of this Beaconsfield aluminium conservatory, finished the interior breeze block dwarf wall and laid the Celotex insulation and damp-course for the conservatory base, Hazlemere Conservatories ground team take delivery of ready mixed quick drying concrete, whilst one of Hazlemere’s experienced bricklayers lays the conservatory concrete floor base by hand.
The ready mixed concrete is transported from the cement lorry to the back garden conservatory site by wheelbarrow, then careful levelled off to produce a uniform flat conservatory floor. The brickwork step up to where the white aluminium French Doors will be fitted, will be finished off later in the project using paving slabs. This Buckinghamshire conservatory concrete base is left to set before the next major stage of the project…
Step four: Finishing the conservatory brick dwarf walls
Author: Hazlemere Windows | Leave a Comment >>Hazlemere’s experienced bricklayer completes the conservatory dwarf wall and damp coursing before the insulated concrete conservatory floor is laid. Within this concrete base Hazlemere Conservatories are fitting thick Celotex insulation boards, as ordered by the client to assist in keeping the floor and conservatory warmer during the colder Winter months.
All Hazlemere clients buying a conservatory have many options and choices of finishes. One of the important aesthetic decisions is whether to have a plastered finish inside the dwarf wall or a natural brick finish. In this case, as the client wishes to match the finish in the adjoining dining room, the internal dwarf wall and the existing host wall will have…
Step three: Starting the conservatory build proper
Author: Hazlemere Windows | Leave a Comment >>One of Hazlemere Conservatories remits is to try and match as near as possible the bricks in any new conservatory dwarf wall to the existing house. This is not always as easy as this may seem, as occasionally certain bricks are not made anymore, or the older bricks are a different size to the matching bricks that are available, as, when building a brick dwarf wall for a conservatory it is important to match the courses in existing brickwork, so that the new conservatory appears an integral part of the property. Prior to the delivery to site of the cement mixer and building materials, Hazlemere conservatories protect the clients driveway with wooden boards laid on top of…
