Summer Staycation

Are you going on an exotic holiday abroad this year, or are you joining the growing trend to enjoy a 'staycation' here at home?

For those of us living in beautiful East Anglia, we're blessed with miles of sandy beaches, lush green countryside and the stunning Norfolk Broads - all of which make for great days out.

And whilst enjoying your time at home, what could be better than relaxing on a bespoke veranda, lounging in a stylish conservatory or putting your feet up in an elegant orangery?

At Horsford we can help with all of the above - and more besides. Enjoy your staycation with a little help from our team!

Keeping Cool

The weather always seems to be a popular topic of conversation. We grumble that it's either too cold, too hot, too wet or too dry. But at the moment there's certainly no getting away from the fact that temperatures have been soaring, making us feel somewhat sticky and uncomfortable.

So what can we do to ease the discomfort and stay well during the heatwave?

The NHS recommend such steps as having cool baths and showers and splashing yourself with cool water; drinking lots of cool drinks (but not too much alcohol), wearing loose clothing; staying out of the sun between 12 and 3; shading windows with light coloured curtains or blinds; actually closing windows when the day's at it's hottest, but opening them at cooler times.

You definitely need to head for the shade in the middle of the day, this is when a veranda is ideal. Alternatively replacing your existing glass conservatory roof with a Warm Roof (it's insulation can help keep the room cooler in summer) will provide a comfortable space to retreat. And keeping your windows in tip-top condition, with an easy to open style that suits you, will help control air flow.

Keep cool this summer!

Garden Rooms

A great way to get enjoyment from your garden all year round, whatever the weather, is to add a conservatory or orangery to your home. Not only does this provide a great place to view your garden, but you can make it a haven for plants, bringing your garden indoors.

Orangeries were originally constructed to house fruit trees, and you could still consider growing your own citrus fruits indoors today. You may need to monitor indoor temperatures depending on what you choose to grow, but lemons and kumquats are considered the most resilient. Olive trees are also good to grow in conservatories as they are evergreens that you can prune to your desired size and shape.

When it comes to flowers in your conservatory, Peace Lilies are a great choice as they are known for cleaning the air, whilst being easy to look after. Indoor Azaleas are also a good idea, adding splashes of colour including pinks, reds and purples. Whatever you choose to grow in your conservatory or orangery, we're sure you'll be able to create a very personal garden room to enjoy.

That's Livin' Alright!

Do you love your conservatory and the great living space that it provides, but feel there's still a little room for improvement? Perhaps you'd like a lighter, brighter feel? Well now that's possible with the Livinroof! 

Combining the benefits of insulation and thermal efficiency (as with the popular Warm Roof) with a design of glass panels chosen by you, the Livinroof provides great style and flexibility in design. 

Maximise the light in your conservatory by combining solid and glazed panels, with the option of internal lights situated in the pelmet or hanging lights on the ceiling ridge. 

Whether replacing an existing roof or installing a new conservatory, the Livinroof is a great option that enables you to make the most of natural light with added thermal efficiency.

Keep Your Cool!

When we say, "Warm Roof" you probably think of staying snug in winter, but replacing your existing conservatory roof with a Horsford Warm Roof can also help keep you cool in the summer. 

The Warm Roof system not only offers a more constant temperature throughout the year, it provides greater energy efficiency and requires less maintenance. 

“The team was very hard working, polite and courteous at all times. They were attentive to our comfort as they worked round the house. Couldn’t ask for a better service from an excellent team.” Mr & Mrs S, June 2020.

Flaming (or freezing) June

Meteorological summer officially started on 1st June and we're hoping for sunny weather to get out in the garden and warm days to spend time at the beach. But there's no doubt that our weather can be very unpredictable.

Back in June 1975, snow fell in various parts of the country, interrupting cricket matches and causing consternation. Some of the coldest June temperatures were actually recorded on the Norfolk/Suffolk border in 1962, when Santon Downham experienced a cold snap of a shivering -5.6 degrees!

However the record for the hottest June temperature was set in 2003, when Kent experienced a blazing 38.5 degrees. 

So this year we hope it will be a warm and sunny summer, but just to hedge your bets, you could opt for a Horsford conservatory or orangery so that you can enjoy your garden whatever the weather.
