Doors Wide Shut

With better weather hopefully around the corner, you may like to link your home and garden to form a more unified space. A great way to do this is by installing bi-fold doors.

Even when closed bi-folds give you a great view of your garden. As the weather gets warmer you can open them just enough to let in some fresh air. Then when summer really takes hold you can throw them wide open to get the full benefit of your garden and to create a large space in which to entertain guests.

Our stylish, high quality bi-folding doors fold neatly back when opened, meaning they are unobtrusive and practical, yet look stylish when closed, enhancing the appearance of your home. Available in a selection of styles and finishes, bi-fold doors can help to transform your home!

As rare as a @PaulHollywood handshake...

Dear Mr Cooper,

I was forty odd years in the 'service industry' dealing with the public, and have upgrade service levels in several companies over the years. Writing to express my appreciation of the service received from a company are as rare as a Paul Hollywood handshake.

In your companies case I have received nothing but excellent service from my first meeting with Darren, your showroom staff, and your surveyor. My trepidation as to what it would all look like when work commenced taking down the old conservatory and putting up the new, all come to nothing.

My apprehension was unfounded as Kevin and Darren charged with carrying out the work, were excellent from the start, they were courteous and diligent throughout. Their skill levels soon became apparent, and we are delighted with the finished product.

As a consequence of all the above we would have no hesitation in recommending your company.

Yours sincerely 

Mr & Mrs Prentice, October 2021

Let the Light in

Glass was first used in windows around 100 AD by the Romans, whilst paper was widely used in ancient China, Korea and Japan. Prior to that animal hide or cloth was placed over window openings. In 14th century England, window panes were made from flattened animal horn, with glass not that common until the 17th century. Early glass was very thick and not really transparent, but gradually glass-making techniques improved, making it thinner and clearer.

 

Today’s window glass offers a clear view of the outside world and it's more thermally efficient too, helping to keep your home warmer. Our windows are rated 'A' for energy efficiency and are available in a large range of styles to suit your home! 

 

“Extremely good communications throughout process. Quality of windows is excellent and priced competitively. The fitters worked hard and left no mess whatsoever. Thanks” Mrs Smith, July 2020

New Beginnings

Well here we are in January, a month of new beginnings, the start of a new year and let’s hope it will be a better one for us all. January gets its name from the Roman God Janus, who incidentally was the god of doors - an interesting figure for us then! The month is so named as it represents the door to the year.

We hope the New Year will open lots of doors for you. And remember if you’re looking to improve your home or if its actual doors you are after, the Horsford team can fit smart, new ones in your home. Have a good year everyone!

Season of Warm Colours

Well, autumn is well and truly here, it can be a beautiful season with the leaves turning gorgeous shades of gold, red and brown, but on the downside the evenings get darker earlier and damp mists and chilly days return.
 

Interestingly, according to a study by 'The Journal of Ageing Research', people who are born in the autumn are more likely to live to the ripe old age of 100! It's also said that those born in autumn do better in education.
 

Whilst you can't control when you were born, you can make sure you and your home are prepared for autumn. Now is a good time to check your doors and windows and consider more up-to-date, energy efficient replacements if they are old and worn. Similarly you may like to replace your conservatory roof with a Warm Roof or our new Livinroof that provides better thermal efficiency - have a chat with the Horsford Team!

Chestnuts and Wine

October is well and truly here with its requisite wind and rain, but what does October mean to you? Snuggling up indoors, throwing a Halloween party or hunting for conkers and chestnuts?

October was originally the eighth month of the Roman calendar, hence its name taken from the Latin word for eight, “octo”. Its historic Germanic name was Wein-mond, meaning wine month, could be a good time of year for curling up indoors with a glass!

If you’re braving the outdoors to walk among the fallen leaves and search for chestnuts and conkers, there are a few things you may be interested to know. Conkers are the seeds of the horse chestnut tree and tradition has it that they can be used to ward off spiders. Householders used to surround their homes with conkers to keep out the eight-legged creatures, but there is no proof that this actually works. While conkers are not suitable for human consumption, chestnuts certainly are and can be roasted, grilled, boiled or added to a variety of recipes. For great roast chestnuts, set your oven to 200ºC, 400ºF or Gas 6, cut a cross in the skin of each nut, place in a roasting tin and cook for about 30 minutes until tender.

 

On October 13th this year the full moon known as Hunter’s Moon was visible. The name appears to date back to Anglo-Saxon times, when meat was hunted and preserved in preparation for the coming winter.

Being prepared for winter is a sensible plan, whether it means buying new coats and boots, stocking up the larder with a few basics or talking to Horsford about new windows and doors to help keep the cold out of your home.

Whatever you do this Autumn, have a great time.

Season Of Mists

Well, autumn is just around the corner, with the first day of the season according to the meteorological calendar being 1st September.

It can be a beautiful season with the leaves turning gorgeous shades of gold, red and brown, but on the downside the evenings get darker earlier and damp mists and chilly days return.

Interestingly, according to a study by 'The Journal of Ageing Research', people who are born in the autumn are more likely to live to the ripe old age of 100! It's also said that those born in autumn do better in education. Famous people born in this season include Elizabeth 1, Roald Dahl, Agatha Christie, Michael Faraday (English chemist and physicist), Pablo Picasso and John Lennon.

Whilst you can't control when you were born, you can make sure you and your home are prepared for autumn. Now is a good time to check your doors and windows and consider more up-to-date, energy efficient replacements if they are old and worn. Similarly you may like to replace your conservatory roof with a Warm Roof that provides better thermal efficiency.

So be prepared for the season ahead - have a chat with the Horsford Team!

What A Transformation!

As much as you may love your existing conservatory, does it offer sufficient insulation to make it energy efficient and to maintain an even, year-round temperature?

It’s possible to transform your conservatory, both in terms of providing a more constant, ambient temperature and improving appearance, by replacing the existing roof with a smart new Horsford Warm Roof. Available in a range of tile and slate finishes, the roof not only performs better, it looks better too!

The tiled roofing system (using Extra Light tiles) offers greater insulation, making it more thermally efficient, reduces necessary maintenance and comes with a 25-year guarantee. With the choice of a flat or vaulted ceiling internally that can be given a plaster or timber effect finish, your conservatory becomes more usable as an ‘extra room’ whether it be for dining, entertaining or relaxing.

We recently completed a new Warm Roof for Mrs H who is very pleased with the results, which you can see in these great photos.

To transform you conservatory with a Horsford Warm Roof give the Horsford team a call on 01603 666414 FREEPHONE: 0800 0155551 or Email: sales@horsfordwindows.com
