Security Shutters, Blinds & Garage Doors

Posted on by

I have previously talked about Roller Garage Doors and what a convenience they can bring to your life. In addition to the convenience, a Roller Garage Door can provide some of the highest security for your garage – creating an almost impenetrable barrier when closed.

Employing almost identical techniques this same level of security can now be added to windows and doors in you home offering you personal security when you are at home and peace of mind when you are out.

Security Shutters are roller blinds that roll up in the same way as Continue reading →

Sun Awnings – Information on Awning Fabrics

Posted on by

Sun Awning fabrics come in many different qualities. Really this is a major defining fact between a cheap Sun Awning and a high quality sun awning.

Higher quality Sun Awnings generally use either an acrylic fabric or a polyester fabric. Both should have the necessary coatings to repel dirt and prevent any mildew of rot from forming.

Polyester Sun Awning fabrics is really the newest type of fabric to his the Sun Awning market. Polyesters is much thinner and more durable than the standard acrylic  Awning fabrics. On top of this, polyester tends to let less water through meaning people can use their Sun Awnings as a rain shelter in light showers without water getting through. The general look of polyester Sun Awning fabrics generally gives brighter colours that are more hard wearing. Continue reading →

Sun Awnings – The Winter Sale

Posted on by

Now we have got Christmas over and done with now we may be considering buying Sun Awning as we can look forward to the summer and certainly, here in the UK, a decent summer is what we all need. The last couple have been wash outs!

The benefit of buying a Sun Awning at this time of year is to take advantage of the winter sales that most of the leading suppliers offer on their summer ranges – specifically Sun Awnings. Whilst some of these deals are of course just to get extra business during quiet periods there are genuine savings to be made – especially due to the fabric range for Sun Awnings.

Benefits of a Glass Veranda

Posted on by

Glass Verandas have been around for several years though it is only now, with fresh designs that they are being utlised as a home improvement product.

Certainly here in the UK a Glass Veranda is an excellent product for those who love to enjoy their garden, even in the inconsistent British weather.

As with anything, as technology improves, more can be achieved with products and this is certainly true of the Glass Veranda – rather than considering the glass veranda to be just a glass shelter above you, it can now be considered more like an additional room in your home. This is thanks to the use of halogen heater lamps that keep you warm outside even when the weather lets us down.

In addition to the halogen heaters a Sun Awning can be installed over the roof of the Glass Veranda to provide shade in the summer months – (assuming of course we have a summer here in the UK again!) . The glass veranda then achieves something no other product can achieve Continue reading →

Electric Garage Doors

Posted on by

At this time of year, with the cold dark days,  one of the nicer home improvement products to consider is the Electric Garage Door.

We all know that, in an ideal world, we would want to park our cars in a garage. This is not only for security but to protect our cars from the harsher weather conditions – not to mention the fact you will not have to scrape the ice off in the mornings!

In reality, most people who have a garage do not use it for putting their car in, instead they use it to store things they rarely use and this quickly becomes an unusable junk room that is rarely entered.

What is the reason for this? Well there are several but to name a few: Continue reading →

Glass Verandas

A new home improvement product that is showing itself on today’s market is the Glass Veranda. Glass verandas (and also can be spelled  glass verandahs) provide an attractive and practical addition to your home.

Glass verandas, sometimes known as glass atriums are a great way of enjoying being outside whist having protection from the great British weather. Not only can your glass veranda provide you with shelter from the rain but you can also install awnings or exterior conservatory blinds on top to give you protection from both the sun and the rain.

As talked about in previous posts here, many people buy sun awnings for rain protection. Continue reading →

Common Garage Door Problems

Posted on by

Owning an automatic roller garage door is great – that is until they go wrong. It is at these times you wish that you went for a standard manual up and over garage door.

When you are in trouble with your garage door, perhaps it is stuck open, stuck closed or kind of collapsed, it is always in an evening or weekend when there is no one on the end of a phone to help you out. This can mean your car is stuck in the garage or your whole property is left unsecured which can be a huge issue.

Some roller garage doors will be fitted with a manual override Continue reading →

Exterior Conservatory Blinds – The 8000

Posted on by

I have talked before about the benefits of conservatory blinds – specifically the exterior conservatory blinds, designed to keep the heat from entering your conservatory but still allow light into the room.

These work so well that most companies offer a 100% satisfaction guarantee as what previously was an unusable hot conservatory was now a fully usable room in the house.

The technology behind the conservatory blind’s  heat reduction technology  lies purely in the type of fabric used – this reflects most of the sun’s heat before it even  gets to your roof often reducing temperatures by huge amounts. Continue reading →
