Summer weather can affect external doors

July 21st, 2010

Funky FrontThis typical english weather can sure take its toll on your external doors! Doors exposed to the elements such as bright sunlight, wind and rain can become damaged affecting not only their appearance but their colour, strength and shape.

Persistent bright sunlight scorching the surface of wooden external doors can  result in peeling or dulling of the paint finish or varnish. This leads to the wind and rain penetrating the doors surface and causing damage.

External doors require regular observation and maintenance to ensure the door`s condition is sufficient not only to compliment or coordinate with the rest of the building but more importantly that it gives the optimum security and energy saving insulation.

Due to developments in technology and manufacturing, today’s modern materials give strength, longevity, style and energy saving thermal insulation no matter which design you choose.

With many years experience Bayfield can supply external doors to suit all tastes and functions, from a statement entrance door to a less conspicuous rear UPVC door. Reduced maintenance and increased strength and security ensures that your investment is protected ensuring that your door not only looks good but will keep its strength colour and shape for years to come.

Both enternal doors and interior doors from Bayfield can be supplied either inward or outward opening, double or single leafed, glazed or unglazed. All our doors can be produced in a range of colours and finishes all custom built to your design. Visit our showroom in Cheshire to see examples of our range and for expert help and advice.

Quality Orangeries

June 16th, 2010

orangeblogKnow you want to increase the size and value of your home? Know you want to have a light airy room you can use 365 days a year? Can’t decide between a full extension and a conservatory? Have you considered orangeries?

Orangeries combine the benefits of both conservatories and a more traditional brick extension. Part glazed and part built of stone or brick, orangeries provide more privacy than a traditional conservatory while providing the extra space provided by a full extension.

An orangery has a more permanent presence, providing the feeling of being an integral part of the building where as conservatories are considered more of a garden room.

There is much less glass in an organgery, and in general an orangery provides a strong, stylish, luxurious feel to your living space.
We provide quality modern, contemporary and classic orangeries and will take care of everything from the design and build to the installation. Orangeries are suitable for all kinds of extensions to your home from kitchen rooms to family rooms, Dining rooms to garden rooms.

So if you are considering adding to the space and value of your home talk to us we can advise you on any queries you may have.
