Bringing the outside in…

Natural Light and space are among the popular hallmarks of modern homes in 2017.

You can add bold and unique visual element to your property with a GLASS ROOF EXTENSION. The glass naturally creates a light living space and the beauty of these extensions is that they can be tailor-made into even the most testing of spaces, letting in an unrivalled amount of daylight.

When we investigate new apartments or houses with a view to moving, a feeling of space with plenty of natural light in evidence is what we are searching for. It not only makes us feel better but it’s a great way to help reduce energy costs.

Architects and developers know that these elements sell their homes to the pubic and plan accordingly. But, it may not be quite so easy to harness plenty of natural light and create more space in less modern properties.

Most of the homes built in the UK after World War 2 favoured smaller, more intimate rooms which were relatively cheap to heat, an this legacy has continued to a lesser extent into the early Noughties.

However, in the last 10 years or so in particular, more of us are demanding open plan living areas with as much natural light as we can get. In fact, thought solar panels in the roof more and more of us even turn natural sunlight to domestic energy to cut household bills.

Getting more fresh air into your home along with that vital light and creating more space for growing families – or simply giving yourself more room to breathe – can be costly if you have to think about remodelling homes 4

or building on large extensions or wings.

So, more and more people are going for a range of other options that still help to bring the outside inside.

CONSERVATORIES are particularly popular for this, not only because they come in such a variety of sixes and styles to suite all kinds of properties but because they are now cheaper and more efficient than ever.

Conservatories enlarge homes and can genuinely enhance the look of a property. They offer a private, bright space for hobbies, for family time or just for reading alone.

They also bring people closer to their gardens, both physically and emotionally, and allow a new perspective on greenery without having to suffer from the vagaries of the British climate.

ORANGERIES are another popular addition to homes, generating extra living space and creating a special place to live – and work if you prefer – in a private but bright room. They tend to contain more brickwork than glass, can be a bigger project to create, but always add elegance to homes.

TILED ROOF EXTENSIONS are also designed to look and function like a permanent part of the property. This additional space makes your house a more desirable place to live and, should you come to sell your property, immediately allows your wouldbe buyers to envisage using that extra room, for their lifestyle needs.

To open up kitchen and living areas, how about installing BIFOLDING DOORS? These clever additions not only look stylish but offer a large area bringing in light, and they can easily fold back to allow in fresh air and the beauty of your garden.

Another clever way to enjoy the outside and still protect yourself from the less attractive parts of the British weather is to install an AWNING. These handsome, often brightly coloured additions to your home allow you to dine or just sit outside, away from the sun or even drizzle, as an easy extension of your lifestyle.

Many of us enjoy our gardens and its lovely, not only to see close up the fruits of you labours when it comes to admiring the plants, flowers and other greenery, but also because of health benefits.

So it’s worth crafting a lifestyle that takes advantage of Nature’s free gifts, and open up your home to all the best possibilities of living.

Please note: Planning permission may be required for some cases. Check with your local planning authority.

onservatory Roof Insulation. com is an insulation solution that transforms the inside of your conservatory roof to give it a fully insulated, strong and smooth plastered or uPVC finish, whilst keeping the original shape of your roof i.e. not a flat ceiling, hence there is no light reduction.

The family-run business, based in Lytham St Annes, was founded in 2009 and is one of the first companies to offer this product in the UK, alongside its original inventor.

After cross-ventiliating the ceiling, Conservatory Roof Insulation.com installs a high performance composite insulation to the inside ceiling of the conservatory, combining multiple layers of reflective and insulating materials to reduce heat loss by up to 90 per cent.

TOO HOT IN SUMMER,

No other conservatory insulation solution can deliver anywhere near this figure. Your conservatory will stay warm in the winter and prevent the ‘greenhouse effect’ during summer.

You’ll therefore need to use far less energy to keep your conservatory warm, drastically reducing energy costs.

After the support framework, cross ventilation, insulation and panelling is installed, the conservatory ceiling will them be plastered to perfection, allowing it to be painted in the colour of your choice, or uPVC cladding finish, which require no painting.

Look up! And get more space at home for under £345

W

e’d all like more room at home. But not everyone can afford to move or extend. So what if there was a way to get extra space for just a few hundred pounds, ready to use in less than a day? In truth, that space is already there. It’s just not being used to its full potential.

For most, the loft is a dark and dingy place visited on rare occasions; a precarious scramble across dusty beams with torch in hand, grabbing what’s needed then clambering back past boxes filled with long forgotten belongings. But that dark and dingy place is worth thousands. In fact, it takes up a third of the floorspace in an average home. So shouldn’t we be making the most of it?

And that’s where More Than Loft Ladders (MTLL) comes in. Founded in Bolton ten years ago, MTLL specialises in generating space by making our lofts easily accessible. The latest MTLL franchise is based

12

in Preston covering Preston, Chorley and the Fylde Coast and is run by skilled local Iain Caldwell who says the company’s no-frills approach is what most people are looking for.

“We’re not selling £15,000 loft conversions,” says Iain. “This is a low-cost and simple alternative. For just £287+VAT you can get; a high quality loft ladder fitted for total ease of use and upmost safety, a fitted light to illuminate your attic space with a switch placed in a safe but easy to reach location and some high quality and durable loft boarding to make the space safe and secure. We can also fit a draft-proof loft hatch if required from only £55.”

The price customers are quoted is the price they will pay, with no additional call out charges. Iain provides a free guarantee on all parts and labour too.

Replace your tired Conservatory Roof with Four Seasons Roof Systems

F

our Seasons Roof Systems, based right here on the Fylde Coast, is owned and run by Kevin & James, who between them, have over 20 years experience in the trades and carry out all the work themselves.

Their conservatory roof replacement system is a great choice for a number of reasons. It’s probably too cold to sit in your conservatory in the winter and yet too hot in the summer. Or maybe there’s algae growing on the roof and it’s started to look a bit tired? Perhaps your conservatory roof is noisy when it rains? If you can relate to any of those problems, let Kevin & James call in to see you for a no obligation quote. Four Seasons Roof Systems will also beat any like for like quote.

They even have a list of happy customers whose conservatory roofs they have converted who don’t

24

mind if you want to take a look at the fantastic work Kevin & James have carried out and who would be happy to answer any questions you might have about their new roof system. All of their customers have said how happy they are to be able to properly use their conservatory again and how pleased they were with the efficiency, professionalism and friendliness of the service from Four Seasons Roof Systems.

So give them a call today on 07875 540929 and let them give you a bespoke quote, which they won’t be beaten on, and ask them if you can take a look at some of their fantastic work on another property near to you on the Fylde Coast.

Four Seasons Roof Systems also specialise in other work including, uPVC windows and doors, fascias and soffits.
