Are you concerned about the cost of your energy bills this year? Is your home as energy efficient as it could be this winter? Don’t pay for heat that is literally going out of the window. This year opt to have Energy rated windows expertly installed by Horsford.

At Horsford we are pleased to offer a stylish range of ‘A’ rated windows as defined by the BFRC (British Fenestration Ratings Council) Rating Scheme. This is UK system that rates the energy efficiency of windows on a scale from ‘A’ to ‘E’, with ‘A’ being the best. It’s used to signify compliancy with building regulations when installing your replacement windows.

If you currently have single-glazed units or your windows were installed prior to April 2002, you could be experiencing significant heat loss from your home. By replacing your existing windows with ‘A’ rated double-glazed units, you could make substantial savings on your heating bills.

A Room For All Seasons

With summer behind us, autumn starting to bite and winter not far on the horizon, you may feel that you don’t get the opportunity to enjoy your garden as much as you’d like.

At Horsford, we have the solution to enjoying your garden all year round, whatever the weather – our stylish, bespoke orangeries allow you to appreciate the outdoors from indoors!

Orangeries differ from conservatories in that they incorporate a smaller roof lantern as opposed to a fully glazed roof and are more substantial structures with generally less glazing, whilst still having large enough windows to offer a great view of your garden. Less overall glazing means that an orangery doesn’t get quite as hot in summer or quite as cold in winter as a typical conservatory.

The addition of an orangery to your home creates a whole new room linking together your indoor space and your garden. Ideal for relaxing or entertaining in, using as a home office space or as an extra living room, a Horsford orangery is a valuable asset to any home.

Orangeries – The Movie

If you’re considering adding a stylish orangery to your home, but are unsure as to what is involved, then you can now view an orangery construction movie via Horsford’s website http://www.horsfordwindowandconservatory.com/building_an_orangery.html

We would like to thank the Blythes for their co-operation in the making of the movie, and for their appreciation in recognition of the work carried out by Horsford’s expert team.

Orangeries are an ideal choice if you would like to add a light, airy, yet warm living space with aesthetic appeal to your home. Whether you are looking for an area in which to entertain guests, somewhere to relax or the means to link your home and garden, an orangery provides the perfect answer.

A Roof For All Seasons

At Horsford, we fit and supply conservatories to suit all styles and sizes of property.

Conservatories are a popular addition to many homes, increasing living space, whilst adding character. However, when fitted with glazed roof panels, they can ‘overheat’ during the summer months, yet cool down a little too much in the winter. That’s why Horsford is pleased to introduce the new tiled roofing system for conservatories.

The tiled roof structure offers a fully insulated system, with a U-value of just 0.15, keeping the internal temperature more constant throughout the year. The 100m insulation panels also provide noise reduction, making your conservatory an even more peaceful and comfortable place to be.

The tiles are available in a variety of colour options and materials. Composite roof slates consist of a blend of slate and polypropylene, ensuring durability – they do not warp or crack. Alternatively, standard, lightweight steel tiles are available to suit all tastes and budgets.

Whether planning a new conservatory, or looking to replace the roof of an existing structure, this tiled roof system will provide an ambient environment with a stylish finish.

Opt For An Orangery

Orangeries have become popular alternatives to conservatories in recent times, but how do the two really differ?

The main difference in the structure of an orangery is the roof, which incorporates a glazed lantern, as opposed to the entire area of the roof being glazed as with a conservatory.  

Another major difference in the design is the sidewall, with orangeries offering a more substantial structure compared to the typical conservatory. An entablature (deep-moulded fascia) surrounds the perimeter of the doors and windows, and classic orangeries have traditional colonnades – columns flanking the windows and doors below the entablature, consisting of period bases and detailing. 

Horsford’s bespoke orangery designs incorporate all the classic architectural elements, including roof lantern, glazing, colonnades and carefully planned proportions, to create a traditional, stylish structure to complement your existing building. However you plan to use your orangery, it will make a welcome addition to your home, adding both stylish living space and value to your property.

The construction of orangeries in this country dates back to the 17^th century, when orangeries were built in the grounds of many fashionable residences, originally to house citrus trees during the winter months. However the earliest recorded orangery was built in Padua, Italy in 1545, with popularity for the structures rising with the advent of the production of clear glass in substantial quantities. These original orangeries tended to be huge buildings, not just used as plant houses, but designed to demonstrate the wealth and importance of their owners. Orangeries were even designed to contain fountains, grottos and areas to entertain guests.

Modern orangeries may be smaller structures, but they are designed to incorporate many original features and make stylish yet practical additions to the home. Providing light, airy, yet warm living spaces with aesthetic appeal, an orangery can add space, interest and value to your property, whether you are looking for an area to entertain, relax or bring your garden into your home.

At Horsford, we are pleased to offer bespoke orangeries, with a full, friendly yet professional service provided throughout the planning, construction and after-care stages.
