Whenever you are contemplating buying a new property there are numerous features that you will seek from a home before you think about parting with your hard earned cash. It is such a big investment that you have to feel that everything about your new purchase is right for your lifestyle. We usually seek enough bedrooms for all the family, a nice kitchen and bathroom area and a living room large enough to house your sofa and decorative accessories.

Those homes which suffer from a lack of space are those homes which will usually end up with a for sale sign attached to their front lawn for months and months down the line. If however you had a conservatory in Bristol installed it would significantly increase the amount of open space you had at your disposal and the increase the likelihood of you achieving a quicker sale.

If you fancy sitting down to a meal under the moon and stars at night with friends or family, you could do that by simply putting a dining table in your conservatory. Perhaps you work from home and find it difficult to find somewhere were you can concentrate due to excess noise from other rooms in the house, if so you could turn your conservatory into an office area. We all know how the kids like to play out in the garden but sometimes due to the weather it is not possible. Turn your conservatory into a play room and it will turn out to be the next best thing, a really exciting alternative for them.

It is so frustrating when you want to move property but you cannot trigger enough interest in your home. Installing a conservatory, double glazing in Gloucester or windows in Cardiff are a guaranteed way of impressing any interested parties.

Drive past any street in the UK at the moment and you will see a never ending sea of For Sale signs, many of which will have been up for many months and in some cases years. Due to the recession many people have been unable to tempt buyers into purchasing their property and are stuck in a home in which they no longer wish to reside.

The problem is that many homes do not have a distinguishing feature present in order to make their home look more attractive in these difficult times. One way in which this could be achieved is through the installation of a conservatory.

Conservatories in South Wales can make a home stand out from a crowded row of homes that need to be sold. When people cast their eye on a conservatory it immediately triggers visions of elegance, class and opportunities. Opportunities in that a conservatory can be used for some many different purposes, extra living space, somewhere to admire the garden, a new office, your own personal fitness suite or it could just be used for storage purposes.

Home buyers with families will be particularly attracted to a property already installed with a conservatory as it overcomes the problem of small living area and those who like to entertain have the option of inviting friends and family over. If you have a small garden, then again a conservatory can create the illusion that the garden is bigger than it actually is and we all aspire to have a large garden area.

Unique features are not just restricted to conservatories, the addition of double glazing in Cardiff and windows in Bristol could also help persuade a buyer to part with their money on your home. Make your home the stand out property on your road and you will soon be on your way to pastures new.

Replacing your windows is something which you would expect not to have to do very regularly. However, if you currently have old wooden timber windows you will notice that paint easily peels from them after a short while and they commonly suffer from condensation.

Once new windows are installed you would hope that they will last you for years to come. Well Greenway is so confident that our windows will provide you with value for money that we are offering a 10 year guarantee on all of our range. This includes any corrective work that may be required after installation, something we are certain will not happen.

We also provide a £1000 security guarantee on all our windows in Cardiff, double glazing in Gloucester and doors in Bristol.  This means that in the unlikely event that someone manages to break into your property through the failure of one of our products, we will pay up to £500 for the repairing of the window or door and £500 for any inconvenience caused.  We cannot say fairer than that!

All of our windows are made of uPVC, a material which is practically indestructible even under the most stressful of weather conditions. Not only that but you will find that the chore of painting your windows on a yearly basis will no longer be required as uPVC windows are easily maintainable and need virtually no care or attention.

Each of our windows incorporates the latest technological advances, meaning that security wise you can be guaranteed windows which will provide the upmost protection from intruders. We can promise that once our windows are installed within your home you will never need again feel the cold when indoors.

Why not have a look into our ‘A’ rated energy efficient windows and give us a call on freephone 0800 163 369.

Doors in Bristol are much underestimated. With crime on the rise within most parts of the UK, it have never been more important to check that your front and back doors are providing the level of protection they should be. Flimsy and badly constructed doors are an open invitation to thieves and if you do not want to lose your prized possessions it is recommended that you consider replacing such doors.

The most popular type of door nowadays is the uPVC door, the reasons why are simple.  They are much more affordable than many timber equivalents and because they require low maintenance, it means you save money as painting and cleaning equipment will not be required.  They are guaranteed to withstand even the most extreme weather and that is why most installation company’s will provide a 10 year guarantee.

It is also very unlikely that your uPVC door will become damaged in any way due to the hardness of the material it consists of.  As well as new windows in Cardiff, new doors are proven to be fantastic insulators of heat so that even on the most bitter of days, your hallway is unlikely to become chilly.  They help trap any heat generated in the home, while also blocking out the weather from the outside due to being tightly sealed.

If you fancy bringing your own personal touch and colour to your new door, then there are a variety of decorative glass options available.  The most important factor in installing your new door though is for security purposes.  That is why all uPVC doors are installed with the strongest of locking mechanisms, lessening the likelihood of your home becoming the next crime statistic.

Whatever your budget shop around and you can be assured of finding the best in double glazing in Gloucester, something which will make your home that little bit safer.

Here at Greenway we have over 30 years experience in the manufacturing and installation of conservatories in Wales, conservatories in Cardiff and conservatories in Gloucester. Therefore, we are best placed to advise you of the countless options at your disposal when you purchase a conservatory from us.

As well as adding value to your property, a conservatory can add extra living space to your home if you are struggling for room within your current property and are hesitant to move. You may have considered building an extension if suffering from a shortage of room. Think again as conservatories are becoming more affordable and an extension could set you back thousands of pounds more, while not looking as aesthetically pleasing as a conservatory when joined onto your home.

Your new conservatory could become a second living room. It can be decorated just like your living room with blinds, sofas and tables. Or perhaps the kid’s toys and games are beginning to take over your living room space, if so why not turn the conservatory into somewhere the kids can play in anytime of the day, anytime of the year. Because the conservatory is composed of uPVC double glazed windows, it means that you can be guaranteed of warmth, no matter how cold it is outside.

If keeping fit at home is your bag, then you could consider transforming the conservatory into an exercise room, somewhere you can keep all those weights and that treadmill. If you are a green finger kind of person, then your conservatory can provide wonderful views of your garden throughout the year, all while you sit back and relax on your conservatory furniture.

All our conservatories are manufactured using the Synseal Synerjy profile and are available in white, light oak, mahogany and rosewood, you choose whichever colour you feel most suits your home. To see the full range of conservatories on offer why not arrange for a copy of our conservatories brochure to be posted to your home.

The housing market has endured one of the biggest slumps in recent history. Partly due to the recession and party due to the increasing valuation of property, many people are struggling to sell their home. This has lead to many taking the Do not move, improve stance, developing their existing property in the meantime so that when the market does eventually pick up they are more likely to secure a sale.

Many have decided that the installation of conservatories is the way to go to achieve this feat. Not only will the addition of a conservatory add valuable living space to a home, but it can add great value onto the property valuation. When the time comes to sell it has been found that many of those who have had a conservatory installed have in fact ended up recouping at least 100% of the conservatory cost back.

Before buying a conservatory always find out what is available to you and work out how much of your budget you are prepared to spend on it, making sure you do not go over your limit. Buy the best conservatory you can afford as it will last.

Buying an economy conservatory could prove to be a grave mistake and end up costing you a substantial amount of money in repairs further down the line. Dramatically low priced conservatories should be avoided at all costs as they as sure to be put together using shoddy workmanship.

Once you have your conservatory installed you will notice that it may have given your home a new lease of life, so much so that you may no longer want to leave it. You will find it to be incredibly multi functional, an ideal location for parties, drinks and dinners. So stay put and reap the rewards.


Why Move? Buy A Conservatory

There sometimes comes a stage in life when you have started a family and start to worry about a lack of space within the home.  You may be contemplating moving to a bigger property, but just think of some of the possible costs involved.  Removal costs, stamp duty, conveyancing fees, not to mention the fact that you will more than likely want to redecorate your new home when you move in.

A simpler and cheaper option would be to get a conservatory installed at your existing property.  The conservatory was in the past seen as a building used for horticultural purposes, but now it is very commonly used as way of increasing living space.  It can help enlarge the size of downstairs rooms and is multi-purpose, meaning that it can be turning into living room space or perhaps somewhere guests can gather when you have that next cocktail party.

It must be pointed out that it is a myth that conservatories are only useable during the summer months.  A good PVC conservatory with double glazing and good heating and ventilation can be used all year round for every occasion.  You will find that it is a great place to relax and because the room gets flooded with direct sunlight, it can make for a very cosy feel and lovely ambience.  It’s also an ideal place from which to view the garden.

There are many different varieties of conservatories available on the market, so you will find that there is a conservatory to fit the design, size and look of any home.  There is also a huge range of conservatory furniture available so you can arrange your new living space to your own taste.  An added bonus is that by adding a conservatory to your home can actually increase the value of your property and make it more appealing to buyers.

So if you fancy a conservatory in Gloucester, conservatory in Bristol or conservatory in Wales, then get one installed now and be the envy of your neighbours.

Thanks to the current economic climate homeowners are looking for more ways to make their homes more energy efficient. By improving the energy efficiency of their homes they are able to cut the costs of their gas and electricity bills considerably.

With the ever rising cost of gas and electricity and more people than ever struggling to pay their bills due to the recession homeowners are looking for ways to improve the energy efficiency of their homes with double glazing.

We have all known the benefits of double glazing for some time now but it seems that it is the recession which is kicking people into action and improving the efficiency of their homes.

Research has shown that customers are becoming more energy aware, they are turning lights off when they leave a room, turning down their thermostats and installing energy saving light bulbs. Many gas and electricity customers are also looking to swap energy provider to find the cheapest tariff available. And the next step in improving the energy efficiency of their homes is installing double glazing.

Research shows that up to 25% of the heat generated from a home is lost through inefficient windows. By installing double glazing the amount of heat lost is reduced considerably.

Greenway Home Improvement specialises in the installation of energy efficient Double Glazing in Wales including Double Glazing in Cardiff and Double Glazing in Bristol for more information on Double Glazing visit www.greenwayupvc.com or drop into their local showrooms in Pontypool & Raglan Garden Centre

Greenway Conservatories, Windows & Doors based in South Wales specialise in the installation of uPVC Conservatories, Orangeries, Double Glazing and uPVC Windows and Doors. In their work they regularly come across poorly fitted inefficient windows. As a company Greenway are keen to help to protect the planet so when they heard of The Windows Scrappage Scheme they immediately decided to support the campaign.

The Windows Scrappage Scheme is a petition to the government which aims to improve the energy efficiency of the existing housing stock to reduce CO2 emissions and cut household energy bills. Up to 25% of the heat generated by a home is lost through the windows. By installing energy efficient windows the amount of heat lost reduces dramatically.

This not only saves the householder or tenant money on their gas and electricity bills but also helps to protect the planet.The Glass and Glazing Federations (GGF) Window Scrappage Scheme would encourage householders and landlords to scrap their poorly insulated inefficient windows for an incentive of £1000 to be used to purchase new energy efficient windows fitted by a professional.

The scheme would benefit all involved, householders would benefit from cheaper gas and electricity bills, the government would be a step closer to meeting their targets to reducing CO2 emissions by 30% by 2030 and the glazing industry would benefit from increased productivity offering security of jobs in the current market.

Greenway Conservatories, Windows & Doors fully supports The Windows Scrappage Scheme and encourages as many people as possible to visit: http://petitions.number10.gov.uk/windowscrappage/ and sign the petition themselves.

Greenway Home Improvements, part of the Conservatory Outlet network, specialise in the design and installation of uPVC conservatories, orangeries, energy efficient double glazing, replacement windows and doors throughout Cardiff, Bristol, Newport and parts of Gloucester.
