West Yorkshire Windows Builds a New Orangery for Noel Edmonds Christmas Present TV Show
Author: West Yorkshire Windows | Leave a Comment >>West Yorkshire Windows in Wakefield & Leeds were approached by Sky 1 to donate a conservatory for a lady called Val Lepedat for the Noel Edmonds Christmas Present TV show.
The Story
Valerie Lepedat, 66 was diagnosed with breast cancer ten years ago and she has been courageously fighting the disease ever since. After Val’s first cancer surgery at Doncaster Royal infirmary she joined the Patient Focus Group. Val thought her medical and nursing treatment was excellent but the compassion and added support that she felt she needed at such a time was missing. This inspired Val and a fellow member of the Patient Focus Group, Lynne Rothwell to do something to help all cancer patients. Val and Lynne came up with the concept of The Aurora Center a dedicated unit offering free treatments to improve the quality of life for cancer patients.
The Aurora Centre’s aim is to boost…
Should I Buy Curtains or Blinds?
Author: West Yorkshire Windows | Leave a Comment >>Curtains have been becoming less popular over the last few years, and it’s not hard to see why. For many years they were an essential to any home to dress windows, heat retention and maintaining privacy.
But as the great Bob Dylan says the times they are a-changing.
New options are putting curtains to shame – in both aesthetic appeal as well as the options they offer. Fitted Window Blinds come in a huge range of colours and designs, including wood, metal, plastic and more.
A fantastic attribute of fitted window blinds is the fact that they can work entirely with any window design. A certain type of window called tilt and turn windows can be tilted open or open fully on a hinge. With curtains there would be no way of opening the window and retaining privacy, but the fitted blinds can still be drawn…
Conservatory Outlet Beating the Recession
Author: West Yorkshire Windows | Leave a Comment >>Conservatory Outlet, a leading manufacturer of uPVC Conservatories, windows and doors has posted impressive sales figures for the first six months of 2009, compared to the same period of 2008.
The company has increased turnover by 15.4% despite the housing market collapse and saturation in the UK PVC-u window and conservatory industry. As many double glazing companies have struggled over the last 18 months with falling demand, Conservatory Outlet has steadily seen demand grow from its dealer base.
“Conservatory Outlet is not a normal trade window supplier.” explains Matthew Glover (Managing Director). “We put a lot of effort into helping our dealers generate leads and sales, rather than going out to find new dealers. All of our growth has been achieved through our Conservatory Outlet dealers growing.”
Conservatory Outlet provides each dealer with their own quality website, and organise driving traffic to the website with a combination of SEO…

West Yorkshire Windows TV Campaign
Author: West Yorkshire Windows | Leave a Comment >>Conservatory Outlet, the largest installer of conservatories in the North of England is stepping up its TV advertising campaign.
Throughout 2008 a series of adverts on Yorkshire TV shot Andrew Glover, the face of the advertisements to fame in the Yorkshire region. With the phrase ‘You better be quick, these deals can’t last forever’. West Yorkshire WIndows, a Conservatory Outlet dealer, promoted a series of special offers on Conservatories and Energy Efficient uPVC Windows.
The emphasis was based around encouraging customers to visit the West Yorkshire showrooms in Wakefield and Leeds. Also, the adverts drove traffic to the website and telephone enquiries to the call handling centre in Leeds.
The adverts were soon rolled out to the Granada TV region with Chris Mitchell fronting the regional campaign. Format was the same, but with different offers for the conservatory showrooms in Preston, Kendal and Holmes Chapel.

Author: West Yorkshire Windows | Leave a Comment >>If you have a conservatory or are thinking of buying a conservatory from West Yorkshire Windows, there is an extra which we feel is nearly essential.

They integrate fully with the window or door, allowing the blind to operate as one with the opening, ensuring the ideal combination of shade with ventilation.
Not only can we do Pleated blinds, but we can also do Roller blinds with the same Perfect Fit system. All of…

‘A’ Rated Double Glazing Windows | Energy Efficiency to the MAX from West Yorkshire Windows
Author: West Yorkshire Windows | Leave a Comment >>West Yorkshire Windows are pleased to announce the availability of SolarisEnergyMAX double glazed windows throughout West Yorkshire including Bradford, Barnsley, Castleford, Doncaster, Halifax, Huddersfield, Leeds, Pontefract, Sheffield and Wakefield. SolarisEnergyMAX windows offer a far higher energy efficiency rating than standard double glazed windows and Pilkington K glass.
The government has introduced the Window Energy Ratings scheme. By using the same ratings system that items such as fridges and washing machines have been using for years, it is now possible to rate a window from any given installer. The finished window combination is independently tested, and awarded a rating from A to G.
So, if C-rated is energy efficient, how much better does an A-rated window perform?
Well, its simple really. An A-rated window will not lose any heat whatsoever from your home. None. Zero. It’s a little more complex than that, but the principle really is true.
