West Yorkshire Windows

History of Porches.

In Britain, porches came in to common use in churches back in medieval times. In those days the porches wee normally built of stone or timber and placed on the southern side of the structure, but often not limited to that and added on the other sides as well. The porches were mainly built to provide cover for church goers and extra space during baptisms.

As time went on the churches began to have two storeys, with a room above the entrance which was used mainly as a storeroom, armory or library. Sometimes the church custodian lived in the upper storey with a window looking in to the church to be used for supervision of the interior. A lot of churches today have these porches, both internally and externally.

Porches today.

In the current day, porches are highly customisable, with different sizes, roof shapes and colours. West Yorkshire Windows will even match your brick pattern so that it fits in with your house.

Here at West Yorkshire Windows we are very proud of our uPVC Porches range. Please feel free to request a quote online or give us a ring and one of our excellent customer support staff will be happy to point you in the right direction.

We built our new Orangery in the Wakefield Conservatory Showroom in December 2008. It was launched (completed) at the end of January. Since then we have sold over 20 new bespoke Orangeries to our customers throughout Yorkshire.

Orangeries really are a great way to extend your home and add valuable extra light. When you are sat in a uPVC Orangery, you feel like you are in a ‘proper’ room in your home.

What do we use to build it?
We build it with brick or stone pillars, uPVC windows, uPVC doors and a uPVC Conservatory roof. It can be glazed with Toughened Double Glazing to the frames and 35mm Polycarbonate to the roof. The conservatory in our Wakefield Showroom has our Solaris – Heat reflecting Polycarbonate in it. Solaris Polycarbonate can reflect up to 85% of the suns heat, make you conservatory or Orangery much more comfortable to sit in.

How much Do they cost?
There are 2 main things that make an Orangery more expensive. Firstly, the internal Pelmet detail adds extra cost, but the main thing is the time on site. It’s much more labour intensive to build a new Orangery than it is to build a new Conservatory

There is nothing that we can say to you all that would ever thank you enough for the absolutely stunning conservatory we now have following the ‘Better Homes’ episode.  We felt very lucky to become involved with the programme but are incredibly amazed at the outcome.  The conservatory is just unbelievably gorgeous and has totally transformed our house.

We have been inundated with visitors and you would be so pleased to hear their comments, they have been so impressed.

It would be lovely to meet you ‘properly’ and you are welcome to visit us!

Look forward to seeing you and the very best wishes for the future success of West Yorkshire Windows.  You certainly deserve it!

Our grateful thanks

Dianne, Alan and Katie

We received this letter from one of our customers in Townville, Castleford today, who recently had a new uPVC conservatory installed:

Dear Sir,

I would like to compliment you on a speedy and efficient service you have given us, together with the excellent standard of workmanship by everyone involved.

Every stage of the installation was carried out exactly as stated on this schedule we received, and any problems we had were quickly rectified.

In conclusion, I would like to say we are delighted with our new conservatory and would not hesitate to recommend West Yorkshire Windows to friends and family

Your Sincerely

Mr Woodcock

Your conservatory or tailor made orangery can be whatever you want it to be a place to play, entertain, socialise or simply relax. West Yorkshire Windows have designed and built hundreds, for every sort of purpose.

Because your conservatory or tailor made orangery can be whatever you want it to be…a place to play, entertain, socialise or simply relax. We’ve designed and built hundreds, for every sort of purpose.

They’re perfect not just as traditional sun rooms, garden rooms or dining rooms but as playrooms, home offices and lots more. A conservatory or orangery is also a great way to not just increase your living space, but to improve the value of your property as well.

Quick to install, you won’t have to move home or suffer the delay and disruption of a traditional brick built extension. And most of them don’t require planning permission, so you shouldn’t have to wait too long either.

A tailor made conservatory or beautiful orangery from West Yorkshire Windows is the perfect yet affordable solution to improving your lifestyle.

Adding Value to your home
Ask any estate agent and they’ll tell you that when it comes to selling a house, properties which include a conservatory are much more sort after by a buyer than those that don’t have one.

Home makeover shows are some of the most popular on television and regularly feature conservatories, with good reason. One of the most popular, ITV’s “Better Homes” featured the estate agent Michael O’Flaherty. Here’s what he said on one of the programmes;

“Speed of installation, bright, airy interiors and an ability to be used as a flexible space make conservatories ‘hot property’. Many homeowners see the value of their property increase by around 5%. In terms of value added, each conservatory featured on Better Homes has beaten other home improvement projects such as loft conversions and kitchen extensions hands down. I can only see conservatory installations increasing further. There are few home improvement investments you could make that will provide this sort of payback”.

So whatever you spend on a conservatory or orangery, you’re certain to see the market valuation of your property increase – then just sit back, relax and enjoy your new room.

Another Room
The sensation of space and light you experience inside a conservatory or orangery make them practical and mysteriously attractive rooms. We can design and build your new space to deliver…whatever your dreams. If you need a new dining room, or an extra lounge area to enjoy some peace and quiet, adding a conservatory is a simple and affordable solution. A conservatory or orangery from West Yorkshire Windows will be ready to use in just a few weeks, once we get started.

Customers tell us how stress free the whole experience has been from beginning to end. Imagine, your beautiful new room will mean none of the hassle of moving home and away from family and friends. You’ll have none of the mess, delay and disruption people often experience with traditional brick built extensions.

Once you start using it, you’ll find yourself spending more time there than you expected. Not just another room…a lovely room…a space for life.

We’ve just installed a new orangery in our Wakefield showroom as part of our plans to promote orangeries and contemporary conservatories throughout West Yorkshire including Bradford, Barnsley, Castleford, Doncaster, Halifax, Huddersfield, Leeds, Pontefract, Sheffield and Wakefield. The style of orangeries (modern conservatories) is a very a cost effective way of combining the advantages of a PVC Conservatory with the feel of a more traditional brick or stone extension.

I’m sure you’ll agree it looks great!

An orangery can offer much more than being merely a greenhouse from West Yorkshire Windows. They will create a warm and inviting environment for your home but it will also offer so much more. It will become a focal point for social occassions, somewhere in which you will be proud to entertain guests, somewhere you and your family can relax in total comfort, regardless of the weather.

Orangeries are no longer reserved just for the stately home, with West Yorkshire Windows, a beautiful bespoke orangery, designed and built to your exact requirements is a realistic dream for you and your home!
