West Yorkshire Windows win Conservatory Installation of the Year 2007

Leading home improvement consumer advice web site www.ConservatoriesOnline.com has announced its annual awards for the Best Conservatories to be featured during 2007. These awards are prized by the builders as they are seen as representing the State of the Art in conservatory design and build and show the way forward for the industry and indeed, for homeowners looking for inspired choices.

And, I’m happy to say a company very close to my heart was the overall winner!

The top honour as Overall Winner for 2007 decided the judges had to go to West Yorkshire Windows for an effort that required great technical and design skills to bring to fruition. During the year the company installed an ambitious T-Shape Conservatory design for clients in Morley near Leeds. The brief was to create a large living space for living and dining, and create a design that would complement the character of the existing property. This T Shape design incorporates a large Gable to the front with 4 pane patio doors giving ample access to the garden area. The Synseal Roof incorporates Solaris glass panels which contain a solar reflective coating to maintain a cool temperature on warm summer days. Solaris glass was also fitted to the wall frames, with Georgian Fret to the top lights.

The roof hips back to a box gutter, leaving a ridge which is parallel to the main house. Electric Roof Vents have been incorporated to create ventilation in the roof area, and underfloor heating was used to maintain a good temperature during the cold winter months.

This conservatory stands out from the crowd by having a Plasma TV screen suspended from the ridge and a chandelier! Needless to say, the customers were delighted with the finished conservatory.

West Yorkshire Windows normally install Victorian, Edwardian and simpler conservatory designs, but this conservatory highlights that they are also capable of grander bespoke efforts.

Peter Jervis of ConservatoriesOnline.com says that these installations raise the game considerably for conservatory design and build: “Conservatories remain an incredibly popular choice amongst home improvers for a number of reasons. These examples have all been installed to actually enhance the appearance and of course the use of the host building and in each case represent the very best application of conservatory skills and crafts, combined with modern building performance standards. They show others what can be achieved.”
