West Yorkshire Windows

If you have a growing family and a small property, you may increasingly be suffering from a shortage of space within the home. Not everyone can afford to move to a larger home, as not only are property prices on the rise, but other issues such as removal costs also need to be taken into consideration. Even brick built extensions and loft extensions can set you back a lot of money. There is however an alternative way of extending your home if you have a garage which is standing dormant.

When you think about it garages take up an enormous amount of room in the home, space that could be used for many different purposes. So, if you are feeling cramped in your home you should think about garage conversions. A single garage can be transformed into a room of your choice, whether this is an extra bedroom for the kids or your own personal gym, a great way of saving your money on extortionate membership fees.

The time it takes to convert a garage is minimal, so you could be using your new found space within a matter of days. The converting of a garage could in fact boost the value of your home if you ever decide to sell in the future. If you have a double garage you need not worry about where you are going to park your car, as installers can also just convert half of the garage. So, you can use one half as living space and still have room in the other half for your set of wheels.

If you decide to go ahead with a garage conversion, make sure that the installer helps you to obtain planning permission from your local authority before installation begins. Also ensure that double glazing in Bradford and double glazing in Leeds is used as a finishing touch so that your old garage becomes a thing of the past.

West Yorkshire Garage Conversions can transform your cold and under used garage into a warm and habitable room that will add value to your property. Find out more at West Yorkshire Windows on freephone 0800 026 4455.

After the successful debut of whitegrain uPVC windows in the summer of 2008, West Yorkshire Windows have now launched 5 new colours.

With the UK double glazing market reaching boiling point window companies are being forced to develop new product developments to bring in new custom.

Managing Director of the Conservatory Outlet group, Matthew Glover explains, “The challenge for uPVC window companies in a difficult market to encourage people to change their uPVC windows that they had fitted in the 1980s and 1990s. PVCu windows are a long lasting and maintenance free solution for replacement windows, but consumers are unlikely to be thinking about replacing new windows that are no more advanced than the windows they intially replaced 10 or 15 years ago. Therefore, West Yorkshire Windows have developed our A rated energy efficient windows which can help to provide large savings on heating bills (compared to standard double glazed windows). And we believe these new colour options will give people more individuality, and is a real alternative to timber windows”.

West Yorkshire Windows will be offering not only uPVC windows, but uPVC doors and conservatories in Green, Grey, Cream, Black and Rustic Cherry on the external face. The supplier, Synseal, is offering conservatory roofs to match as well, making it a full suite.

These new products are available in standard lead time, and offer a better solution than the alternative – spraying uPVC frames.

They will also be continuing to offer the whitegrain product with the grain on the inside and outside of the frame, as well as the option of a conservatory roof to match.

All the new colours are available as A Rated environmentally friendly windows with high security locking.

West Yorkshire window’s Perfect Fit blind system is a unique product that allows a variety of blind types to be fitted to double glazed windows and doors, without the need to drill, screw frames or surrounding plasterwork. They integrate fully within the window or door, allowing the blind to work as one with the opening, ensuring the ideal combination of shade with ventilation.

With our Perfect Fit Pleated Blinds, there are no holes created so the blinds fit better, look better and work better.

Perfect Fit Blinds

As Conservatories have so many windows and doors, traditional blinds would result in hundreds of holes being drilled and screwed into this expensive investment. Not only can we do Pleated blinds, but we can also do Roller blinds with the same Perfect Fit system. All of our fabrics are available with both the Pleated and the Roller blind system.

Sir/Madam

I am writing to say thanks for the great service we have received from West Yorkshire Windows.

Colin the salesman was courteous, knowledgeable about the uPVC double glazing, and not pressurising at all, his honesty and lack of pushiness surprised my husband and myself, after stories we had heard about other companies.

The surveyor and arranging the survey was easy, the fitting of our new uPVC windows was arranged quickly and all the times and dates kept to.

Your window fitters, when they fit our energy efficient windows recently, were hard working, kept the house clean and the windows looked great.  A small scratch on 1 of the double glazed units was noted and the fitter immediately arranged for a replacement unit.  Again there was no chasing up needed I was contacted promptly and the fitting arranged at a mutually convenient time.  Again the maintenance man was polite, respectful and worked hard.

All in all I would just like to say what a pleasure it has been to work with such a professional company with excellent standards and service from start to finish, thank you.

We will certainly recommend you to others and wish you every success in the future.

Yours sincerely

Interest in home improvements and interior design is growing rapidly and with the changes in the housing market have led more people to follow the advice of property experts in the media for ways in which to improve their property. One issue that is mentioned time and time again is the issue of open plan rooms. One way to overcome this issue is to install the very latest energy efficient sliding patio doors.

As standard, Patio doors are comprised of two large glass panels encased in a uPVC frame that function using a sliding mechanism. uPVC Patio doors are gradually replacing traditional wooden doors and are available in a variety of different colours, with more advanced safety features. Due to the hard wearing and durable uPVC material, patio doors do not require polishing or painting so are easier to maintain than wooden doors.

The range of sliding patio doors available from West Yorkshire Windows is an impressive collection of high quality stylish doors that come in a variety of colours. There are also many advanced safety features incorporated into West Yorkshire’s collection of uPVC Patio doors. All uPVC patio doors are custom made and due to a special assembly process implemented by West Yorkshire, each door is fitted with high security hook bolts that lock in to a one-piece steel plate. The stainless steel slide mechanism on all our uPVC patio doors makes opening and closing the doors effortless even for small children, and like our range of uPVC French doors, our uPVC Patio doors are also fitted with an anti-slam device.

The decision to install or replace existing patio doors has improved the visual aesthetics of many properties and choosing the right company for your home improvement project is very important. There are hundreds of styles and designs of uPVC Patio doors available from numerous manufacturers worldwide.  However, it should not just be about the quality and value for money of the products themselves. You should also consider how experienced a supplier is, and how forthcoming they are with ideas and advice.

West Yorkshire Windows is a leading uPVC window and door specialist manufacturing doors, windows, conservatories throughout Yorkshire including Bradford, Barnsley, Castleford, Doncaster, Halifax, Huddersfield, Leeds, Pontefract, Sheffield and Wakefield.

One of the most challenging decisions you will need to make after buying a home or when embarking on a home improvement strategy is deciding on the style of your replacement windows and doors. Everybody wants an attractive and aesthetically pleasing home and the right double glazing windows and doors can go a long way to achieving this. Before undertaking any interior or exterior design project, you must first outline the major products that you require. You should look around and decide which styles you like and what materials you think will be best suited for you, as well as considering issues related to cost and maintenance.

A variety of attractive double glazing windows and doors are available on the market for relatively inexpensive prices. Traditionally windows and doors for residential properties have been manufactured using wood but recent trends have indicated a shift towards PVC windows. These PVC windows, doors and conservatories provide a great finish and have many advantages over the traditional wooden frames. You can also choose between casement or sash windows depending in the style of your home.

Features of double glazed windows

• Double glazing windows are internally beaded windows where the glass is held from the inside and are considered more secure than traditional wooden framed windows.
• Most PVC windows and PVC doors are multi-walled with internal reinforcements made from either aluminum or galvanized steel.
• Frames are available in a variety of different colours. The standard colour for PVC windows and doors is white although there are various colour options and wood effect windows available.
• PVC windows are much better for insulation purposes and have proven to be much more energy efficient.
• Double glazing windows are also much stronger and have many additional security features to protect your home from intruders.

West Yorkshire Windows based in Leeds and Wakefield manufactures high quality PVC windows and doors with all these added features and many are available with special discounts and promotional offers. West Yorkshire Windows specialise in the design and installation of the latest energy efficient ‘A’ Rated double glazing PVC windows, doors, bespoke conservatories and orangeries. Providing helpful and expert advice for free and without any obligation to buy.

Why not give us a call on 0800 026 4455 or visit our fabulous showrooms in Leeds or Wakefield – we guarantee you won’t be disappointed.

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

Why mot visit our Wakefield Or Leeds Conservatory Showroom today.

Dear Andrew,

We would like to say thank you for the superb conservatory.  Please pass our thanks on to everyone involved – the builders, fitters, electrician.

From the first visit to your showroom to the conservatory being completed everyone has been very professional and friendly.

We are thrilled to bits!

It would be an obvious point to make that having new uPVC doors and uPVC windows fitted would provide several benefits to your house as a whole. The addition of these new features would undoubtedly increase the value of your home and the good news is that they do not have to detract from the external styling of the property either. In fact, by adding something like a porch, conservatory or orangery you not only compliment the building but also add more room and in many cases a touch of elegance to your house.

Energy efficiency is also another good reason for having new uPVC windows or uPVC doors fitted.  This measure helps to save the environment by reducing your carbon footprint but it can also save money in your pocket by reducing energy bills.

The one overriding feature that I believe is the most significant point to take into consideration, though, is the added security features that modern uPVC doors or uPVC windows have to offer.  Not only do you benefit from the most modern and sturdy of materials but the equipment is likely to be fitted with good locks and bolts and even something as seemingly insignificant as internal beading can prove to be a useful addition to security.

Here we will look at some of the more significant features that modern uPVC doors and uPVC windows have to offer.

Internal Beading
At the end of the day a double glazed window is not designed to survive a sustained attack. After all, the emergency services need to gain quick access into your home if need be, but the idea of having modern windows fitted would be to deter the opportunist thief.  Older double glazed windows had the beading fitted on the outside of the glass, meaning that a potential burglar could pop out the plastic seal around the frame with a screwdriver and literally remove the entire unit.

Nowadays internal beading is fitted pretty much as standard which takes away this option.  If somebody wanted to break into your house with modern uPVC windows fitted they would literally have to smash the glass thus creating a lot of noise and bringing the attention of the neighbours to the fact that something was wrong.

Fire Safety
Having new uPVC windows fitted opens up the opportunity to make the house safer in the incidence of fire as well as improving the security of the property.  If you use a company that offers a bespoke design service you can make sure that they run through all the features and benefits of fitting windows within certain areas of the property that would allow for a quick escape during the rare instance of a fire in the home.  By having new windows fitted you are not only benefiting from all the points above, but it could also be the difference between life and death for you and your family.

Modern Locks and Bolts
Older doors in particular only have one lock that clicks into the frame at the middle of the door, making it easier for an intruder to force his way into the property.  The newest doors however have things such as multiple locking points, barrel locks with an anti drill design and anti-lift pins and hinge protectors, literally designed to prevent a would be burglar from lifting doors (especially in the case of an older conservatory or sliding patio door) right off their hinges.  These many added security features of modern uPVC windows and uPVC doors have evolved over the last 20-30 years of trial and error.

A process of developing technologies that would beat the ever increasing ingenuity of the burglar has led to the development of ever more secure locks and bolts to be added.  A burglar tends to be opportunistic and will deliberately seek out a soft target.  The best way to send out a message to them is to have new windows and doors fitted so they do not even give your property a second glance after noticing how the fittings look rock solid from the outside.

To explore your options the best step forward would be to book a session with a company that offers a bespoke design service.  There are a few good companies out there that offer this and not only will you be able be able to come up with a plan that suites the style of your building, takes into such external factors like a risk assessment of your property to determine the weak points but will also take into consideration your budget.

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
