“Flashy” new Hazlemere home improvement galleries
Author: Martin | Leave a Comment >>I’ve been working with a company called Pageworks (based in Wolverhampton), over the last few months developing a totally brand new image gallery for Hazlemere Window Company. The company have invested in this rather “flashy” user friendly photo gallery to enable visitors to the Hazlemere Group website to see large high quality product images.
The new galleries contain over a 1,000 installation shots including aluminium and UPVC double glazed windows, doors and conservatories fitted by Hazlemere Windows throughout the UK, primarily throughout it’s core retail trading area of Buckinghamshire, Berkshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire, Hampshire, Surrey, Bedfordshire, West London and Middlesex. Each image on each gallery can be enlarged to full screen size, enabling potential customers to see the many different types of home improvement products,…
Reflective double glazing and plenty of ventilation the key to a pleasant conservatory living environment
Author: Hazlemere Windows | Leave a Comment >>When we sit directly in the sun, we know that in order to prevent sunburn we need to either put on suncream, a t-shirt, a hat or sit underneath a sun umbrella. The same principle applies to conservatories. If you want to protect the living space inside a conservatory from heat build up, there are certain preventative measures you should take, especially if the position of your conservatory is directly in the sun’s path for a significant period of the day (i.e south facing).
Firstly, my advice is to research the different types of reflective double glazing available (like Pilkington Activ Self Cleaning Glass), and choose the one that is best suited your conservatory’s aspect. Secondly, opt for a Low E Argon gas filled…
Add value to a property or pay a premium? Your call
Author: Martin | Leave a Comment >>An article on the About Property website entitled “Boilers, dishwashers and double glazing save energy in the home” stated that research from Halifax published last month shows that nearly one in five people want to move into a house that requires no home improvements.
I find this a remarkable statistic, as buying a home that does not require anything doing to it is very expensive, as you either pay a premium to the property developer who built/rennovated it, or a handsome profit to the householder who did up the property in order to add the value that you end up paying to them!Financially, is it not surely more sensible to be the one who carries out the home improvements, so it is you who…
Top 20 tips to make your home more eco-friendly
Author: Martin | Leave a Comment >>I enjoyed reading Max Davidson’s article on the Daily Telegraph’s website that he posted on 12th August 2010. It was entitled “Green Property: Charles Clarke’s Top 20 ways to make to make your property eco-friendly.” It proposed “a few simple changes can help save the planet and cut your energy bills too”, says Max Davidson.
“There is a perception that eco-designed homes are newbuilds, with a lot of hi-tech modern features. But all homes need to become eco-homes if we are to reduce carbon emissions in line with the Kyoto Protocol. Just think how much energy – and money, when it comes to fuel bills – can be saved with roof insulation and double-glazing alone,” Charles Clark says. Here are his top 20 ways…
Price not the be all and end all in double glazing
Author: Martin | Leave a Comment >>Although cost is an important consideration, it certainly should not be the sole criteria on which one should purchase replacement double glazing, as quality and durability of the product, along with a professional installation should figure in one’s decision making process. In addition, the savings on your fuel bills that follows on after fitting energy efficient double glazing, should also play a part in deciding which product to install, so although energy rated windows tend to cost more than standard double glazing products, focus on the benefits to your living environment, reduced maintenance and the long term saving on your heating bills that thermally efficient double glazing delivers.
Modern double glazed windows are also aesthetically pleasing, increase security, add value to your property, reduce…
Clarke “every house…ought to be double glazed”
Author: Martin | Leave a Comment >>According to an article on the Energy Saving Trust website, property expert George Clarke is urging homeowners to replace their single-glazed windows with double glazing.
Speaking to the Daily Telegraph, George Clarke, presenter of Channel 4 Television’s “The Home Show” and “The Restoration Man” explained: “When you look at the potential energy savings, every house in the country ought to be double glazed.”
Mr Clarke has provided advice to consumers about how they can reduce energy bills and make their day to day living more energy efficient. He added: “There is a perception that eco-designed homes are newbuilds, with a lot of hi-tech modern features. But all homes need to become eco-homes if we are to reduce carbon emissions in line with the Kyoto Protocol.”…
Only 30 days left to order replacement windows/doors!
Author: Martin | Leave a Comment >>The one thing I’ve found at Hazlemere Windows, is that they faithfully communicate with the growing numbers of customers, year on year, keeping them up to date with the many technological advances and legal changes (constantly occuring it seems!) affecting the double glazing industry.
The Hazlemere Group wrote to every single customer/household on their database in June 2010, informing them of the significant changes to the building regulations after 30th September 2010. Property owners now only have 30 days including today to purchase our most affordable windows that meet current legal requirements. From 1st October 2010 onwards, we will only be able to provide them with windows that have an energy rating of C or higher.
I do however think it is important to point…
