Situated within very close proximity of Birstall Shopping Park which boasts high-profile retailers such as Argos, Boots and the region’s only IKEA, the new showroom which opened on 10^th December plays host to the very latest state-of-the-art conservatories and glass extensions.

It becomes the conservatory company’s second showroom opening in the region as they already have a site based in Mirfield displaying some of the county’s finest double glazing designs and orangeries.

Steve Cooper, Sales Director at Visual Conservatories, Window & Door Outlet, commented:

”Due to the continuing popularity of our expansive product range we decided to opening a further, top of the range showroom.

“We have made a considerable investment into the design and development of this new showroom and we are confident that it will quickly double the volume of conservatory solutions we are selling, from three to six conservatories a week. Showrooms are extremely important for us as they allow us to pass on both the advice and much needed inspiration that consumers need to make their home something truly special.”

Visual Conservatories, Windows & Doors highly experienced team of designers and consultants are on hand throughout the new showroom to take visitors through their entire range of products.

All advice and quotes passed on are given free of charge and the company employs a strict no-obligation-to-buy policy.

As the leading supplier of conservatories and double glazing in the UK they know how important it is to have a fit and healthy workforce. The initiative, which is fully funded by Conservatory Outlet, aims to reward staff and encourage them to lead a healthier lifestyle in the New Year and beyond.

The inspiration for this special one-off event came after one of the directors of the business went on a course lead by EasyWay (http://www.theeasywaytostopsmoking.com/ ) outside of work and successfully stopped smoking. They are hoping that with the help of Conservatory Outlet and Easyway many others will be encouraged to follow suit.

Easyway was founded by London-born Allen Carr who quit smoking after 33 years as a hundred-a-day chain smoker. Since then the Easyway method has helped millions of smokers across the globe to stop smoking and escape from nicotine addiction.

According to the NHS around 21% of the UK population smokes and although the number of people with a nicotine habit has decreased sharply over the past 20-30 years there is still a lot of work to be done to bring that figure down further.

The ‘Stop Smoking Day’ will be hosted by Conservatory Outlet at the home of Rugby League side Wakefield Trinity Wildcats and attended by all office staff/factory staff/ sales staff at the orangery firm.

5 Star Windows, a Worcester-based firm who supply high-quality conservatories and double glazing to homeowners in the Midlands, were extremely keen to show their support for the local Rugby Union side that have been existence since the 1870’s.

The name and logos of 5 Star Windows and Conservatory Outlet will be proudly displayed around the perimeter of the touchline at Sixways Stadium for the 18 domestic fixtures the club will be hosting this season.

The ground is open seven days a week, 52 weeks of the year for a variety of rugby conferences and events so the hoardings are certain to be viewed by a huge number of people.

The sponsorship deal will give Worcester Warriors the further much-needed investment they need in order to be able to compete against reigning champions Saracens and the other remaining 10 sides, in a league where they currently find themselves in 11^th position.

It also gives both conservatory specialists an opportunity to increase brand awareness amongst property owners in the Worcestershire region, an area where there is already a very healthy appetite for home improvements.

5 Star Windows already have an impressive showroom situated on Stanklyn Lane in Kidderminster and are widely viewed as being the leading force for home improvements in the Midlands.

Based in Gillingham, Eden will now supply homeowners in ‘The Garden of England’ with Conservatory Outlet products including conservatories and double glazing; something which will be reflected in the company’s imminent showroom refurbishment. Supported by Conservatory Outlet, Eden have designed what is set to be one of the best conservatory showrooms in Kent and plan to open a second within the next twelve months.

Following the establishment of several dealers in and around London, the South East represented natural progression for Conservatory Outlet as the fabricator strives to achieve full UK coverage via its network of installer-customers.

Similarly Eden was the natural choice within this area because of its experience and success throughout Medway, Canterbury and Tonbridge. Indeed one of Eden’s first orders placed with Conservatory Outlet was for a conservatory with a retail value of £55,000.

As a result of joining the Conservatory Outlet network, Eden will now be the sole recipient of the relevant leads generated by Conservatory Outlet’s main retail-facing website as well as those generated by its own brand new website, also provided by Conservatory Outlet.

The installer will also benefit from provisions of high quality bespoke brochures, a 24/7 electronic quoting and ordering system, and the trade secrets of many other successful installers within the network.

‘I’ve always felt that a Conservatory Outlet dealer would prosper in Kent because of the style of properties and relatively affluent demographic in the area. I’m delighted that this dealer is Eden Windows.’ said Greg Kane, sales director of Conservatory Outlet.

Commenting on the partnership Paul Kelly, managing director of Eden Windows, said; ‘Conservatory Outlet dealers are among the best installers in the country and I wanted Eden Windows to be part of this elite network. What’s more, within days of our new website going live we started to receive leads which have now been converted into sales and finished installations.’

The man’s house in Wakefield, West Yorkshire, had been subject to continued vandalism by youths from the area in recent years. When the single glazed windows at the front of the house were smashed in 2010, the local victim support charity were only able to board the windows up, leaving the living room, main bedroom and bathroom with no natural light.

Following further vandalism at the property earlier this year, PC Chris Schofield of West Yorkshire Police, decided to go beyond the call of duty by appealing to local businesses that could potentially help to repair the victim’s home and improve the quality of his life.

‘It seemed that the young people in the area thought it was ok to vandalise the property because it already looked in such a poor state – I felt that a new set of windows would go a long way towards preventing repeat vandalism, as well as vastly  improving the living conditions for the owner,’ said PC Schofield.

Wakefield-based West Yorkshire Windows was PC Shofield’s first port of call and the conservatories company showed no hesitation in offering its support by agreeing to supply and install double glazing completely free of charge.

As a member of the Conservatory Outlet network of dealers, West Yorkshire Windows enjoys a close relationship with its main supplier and after hearing about these exceptional circumstances, Conservatory Outlet opted to manufacture and supply the frames at no cost. This generosity was matched by West Yorkshire Windows’ glass supplier, Custom Glass, who also donated the double glazed units.

Needless to say West Yorkshire Windows – shortlisted for the G11 Installer of the Year Award – covered the installation of the casement windows and even finished the job with a new pair of curtains in time for when the elderly man returned to his home, after a period in respite care.

Jo-ann Bowles, sales manager at West Yorkshire Windows, said; ‘As a well-known and successful company, we found ourselves in a position to make a really big difference to a local man’s life and to reward the genuinely extraordinary work of PC Schofield – we simply couldn’t say no. A big thank you must also go to Conservatory Outlet and Custom Glass for contributing to this cause.’

A close friend of the elderly man who oversaw the installation praised West Yorkshire Police, PC Schofield and triple glazing specialists West Yorkshire Windows for their efforts.

Anyone who buys conservatories should expect their chosen installer to position it in a place where it will benefit from the most amount of natural sunlight. Not only that, but it should also be put in close proximity to the back garden, so that you feel as if you could almost reach out and touch it.

You should get a full view of your back garden so that you can sit and admire it rain, wind or shine. A conservatory will also come with double glazing ready-installed so that you don’t need to panic about it becoming too cold during the winter months. Even in the summer your windows will do their best to make sure that it doesn’t feel overly hot, reflecting away any excess heat.

It is entirely up to you how you utilise a conservatory as there are many different possibilities. Some will look to transform it into a separate dining room, while others may prefer to use it as a base from which they can work away from the office. Whatever you decide to do, make sure that it is entirely beneficial to the whole of the family so that everyone can enjoy it together as it really is a location for all the family.

Want to bring further warmth into the confines of your home? How about buying some replacement windows!

Many of those hardest hit by pricey heating bills are those who have yet to replace their traditional windows, a chief cause of such financial strife. Therefore it makes sense for anyone forced to pay a high price for energy to invest in some UPVC windows with double glazing included.

This is because any heat generated in the home will be trapped by the glass contained within a UPVC window so that you can use your boiler far less frequently. All the draughts that you would notice in the past because of your old windows will disappear in an instant when you appoint an installer to fix the problem with modern-day replacements.

The overall cost of living has gone up in recent times which is another reason why people are being forced to rely on their heating system less. A new set of windows will solve that problem and allow you to spend your disposable income elsewhere.

Although the windows are the main cause of heat loss in the home, another source of the problem can be the front and back doors of the home. If you suspect that cold air is passing through either of your doors you should exchange them for UPVC doors. As with a UPVC window they will store heat and warm up your home at any time of the year.

The money you save on energy due to the successful performance of new windows and doors will more than justify the initial cost of paying for them.

The G Awards are the most prestigious double glazing and conservatories industry awards and to be shortlisted companies must demonstrate total pride and professionalism in every aspect of their business from sales and marketing to design and installation, right through to after-sales service.

West Yorkshire Windows are one of four shortlisted companies in the Installer of the Year category, and Clearview Home Improvements have been named as a finalist in the Conservatory Installer of the Year category.

The former was a founder member of the Conservatory Outlet network of dealers and the latter has been a Conservatory Outlet dealer ever since its establishment in 2008.

Wakefield-based West Yorkshire Windows also has luxury indoor showrooms in Leeds and Doncaster and has been trading continuously for over 18 years. The company will face stiff competition from three other very successful installers; Sherborne, KJM Windows and Alumet Systems.

Clearview Home Improvements now has four showrooms following the recent opening of a Nantwich branch and was also shortlisted in the G10 awards last year. To be victorious this year the North-West dealer company will have to outshine Charles Christianson, P&P Glass and Sherborne.

The winners will be announced live at the prestigious G11 Awards & Gala Dinner which will be hosted by comedian Sean Lock at the Hilton Park Lane Hotel in London, on 25 November.

Clearview’s brand new showroom on the immensely popular Nantwich Trade Park opened on 24^th September and firmly establishes the company’s reputation as being one of the country’s leading suppliers of conservatories, orangeries and double glazing.

With many homeowners in the region now opting to renovate their existing property rather than move, Clearview have experienced an unprecedented amount of interest in their growing product range, hastening their need for an extra showroom.

Clearview are also aware that there will be an influx of people looking to improve their home in time for Christmas and a new showroom will help them capitalise on this rapidly increasing market. It is located next to complementary outlets such as Topps Tiles, The Garden Centre and the Plum Centre.

Their Nantwich showroom will be open 7 days a week and gives homeowners further opportunity to view each conservatory in an environment which best replicates that of the home. It also features a fully furnished orangery, plus windows and doors.

As in Clearview’s three other showrooms located in Holmes Chapel, Preston and Warrington, design consultants will be on hand throughout the showroom so that customers can obtain knowledgeable advice and expertise with no obligation to buy.

Further products such as the firm’s patio doors, bi-folding doors and French doors will also be on full display so that interested customers can fully get to grips with the aesthetic, security and monetary benefits to be gained from owning a Clearview product.

Window Industries is a monthly magazine for double glazing, door and conservatory fabricators and installers and is the longest established magazine for the UK’s fenestration industry.

Each year the publication lists who it feels are the top 30 most influential people in the window, conservatories and door industry and Matthew finished a very respectable 6^th in the list.

The editor of Window Industries had this to say about Matthew and his company:

“Conservatory Outlet is perhaps the most influential fabricator in the UK currently, having set the standard for marketing that many others are now trying to emulate, but so far few if any are showing signs of the success enjoyed by Conservatory Outlet and its customers.

Still everywhere in the market, despite dropping out of GlassTalk, Matthew seems to have a finger in every blog, pie, cause and charity.

With Conservatory Outlet, Matthew Glover has created a hugely successful and unique fabricator business model. The Conservatory Outlet network comprises of a relatively small number of installation companies – 17 at present – but serves approximately 50% of the UK per capita.

The network continues to grow both organically and with the addition of other successful regional installers, attracted by the fabricator’s lead generation and marketing support.

A renowned blogger and one of the founders of GlassTalk Live, Matthew has recently become the vice chairman of the GGF Marketing & Communication Committee, being influential in the decision to redevelop the GGF website.”
