There are many reasons why you might choose to invest in a conservatory for your Essex home. Nine times out of ten though, it boils down to a cost effective way of maximising the space of your property, which in turn increases the value of your home. Gone are the days of a conservatory being a ‘only use in summer’ room. Our modern, energy efficient and secure conservatories ensure yourself and your family can utilise the added space that a conservatory brings to your Essex home all year round. Relax in your tailor made conservatory this summer. This autumn. Next winter and next Spring.

conservatory essex

Energy Efficient Conservatories

Here at Oakland, we have hand selected a diverse range of conservatories to be used all 365 days a year. With this in mind, you have to view our range of conservatories as cost effective extensions for your Essex home. Use the added space as a larger dining room, a contemporary styled office or even somewhere for the kids to play when the weather turns British.

But won’t it get too cold in the winter to use our conservatory? Not a chance! Our conservatories are fitted with exceptional double glazed units, designed to utilise both your homes and the natural energy from the sun.

The double glazed units fitted to your conservatory in Essex work by trapping a layer of air between the two panes of glass. The gap separating the two panes of glass has to be carefully measured, too large and the air will circulate and the in built double glazing technology will be redundant. The trapped layer of air acts as a thermally efficient barrier, preventing unwanted cold air from entering your home and your expensive heating from leaving.

As a family run business, we know all too well that you can never put a price on the security of yourself and your loved ones. As home improvement experts, we have a duty to protect your family against would be burglars and potential home intruders. To do this, we ensure our conservatories are designed to be as security conscious as possible. As well as fitting the most robust stainless steel locks on the current market. So, how do we partner stainless steel locks and design to maximise the security of your Essex conservatory? Giving you and your family complete protection.

Essentially, we fit all robust locks and reinforced hinges into the actual conservatory frame. Behind a thick layer of reinforced glass. The glass acts as a protective cover for the locks and hinges, keeping them far away from meddling hands and corrosive weather conditions. Ensuring your conservatory retains its effortless functionality and security values.

Composite Doors Security

As professional home improvement specialists, it is our duty to provide yourself and your family with maximum levels of security. We provide this security in a couple of ways. To start with, we only use the highest quality stainless steel multi point locking systems. Have total pace of mind that the locks fitted to your composite door are manufactured with the latest anti-bump, anti-drill and anti-snap technology.

We have designed your composite door to be as security conscience as possible. By this we mean, all of our locks and hinges are built into the frame. Our logic is, out of sight out of mind. If potential burglars cannot see the locks and hinges, how would they know which part to target?

secured by design essex

Secured By Design

Secured By Design was established in 1989. Secured By Design is the title given to police projects focusing on design and security for new and refurbished homes. The objective of SBD is to design crime out homes throughout Essex and the remainder of the UK. This is done by making sure that the design is physically strong enough to withstand a reasonable to substantial effort to gain forced entry.

Our entire range of composite doors all carry the police approved Secured By Design stature.

Composite Doors Maintenance

Unlike traditional wooden doors, our composite doors require little to no maintenance to retain their unbeatable energy efficiency and security. Oakland recommend an occasional wash once in a while, just to help your door keep its effortless functionality by removing any grit and dust which has inevitably built up in throughout weather conditions.

Composite doors are built and designed to replicate the appearance of wooden doors. The main difference being that composite doors will not need anywhere near the amount of work that wooden ones will.

For example, if you choose a wooden door you’ll have to go through the hardship of reserving an entire weekend to twinge your back out whilst removing the heavy door from its frame. Then there’s the joy of treating the wood after a harsh winter, sanding it down and refitting it to the frame – most likely hurting your back again.

composite door essex

Composite Doors Energy Efficiency

Composite doors are amongst most energy efficient products on the current home improvements. Why? They are triple sealed to minimise the effects of damaging weather conditions like rain, sleet and ice. The doors themselves are exceptionally thick, durable and dense. Furthermore, all of our composite door frames are fitted with a high quality sealant around the perimeter of the door, minimising the amount of heat escaping from your Essex home.

We work closely and are exceptionally proud of our close business relationship with Phoenix Door Panels LTD, who help to manufacture our composite doors.

Composite Doors Security

As expert home improvement engineers, we recognise our responsibility in providing all of our customers with security focused composite doors. Have total peace of mind that our composite doors come with a whopping ten-year guarantee. What makes our composite doors one of the most trusted safe on the market?

The design and quality of our composite doors work in perfect harmony to increase the security of your Brentwood home. Firstly, we only use the highest quality sophisticated multi point stainless steel locks to ensure the safety and well-being of yourself and your loved ones. These robust locks have helped our doors gain Secured By Design status, recognised by the British Police.

The second reason why our composite doors are so reliable is the design of the doors themselves. All hinges and locks are built into the frame of the door, keeping them out of site and out of mind. Our theory is a simple one, if a potential burglar can’t see the locks or hinges – how do they know which part of your door to target?

 

Composite Doors Maintenance

The clever design of our composite doors also aids you. Our locks and hinges are built into the frame and door, preventing them from coming into contact from harmful and corrosive weather conditions. Furthering the life expectancy of the product.

Oakland home improvements recommend basic maintenance once every couple of months to ensure that your composite door retains its effortless functionality and pleasing looks. A hot soapy sponge to clean out any collected dirt is more than enough to keep your composite door in tip top condition for many years to come.

As we all know, composite doors are designed to replicate a traditional wooden timber door. The reason that our customers favour composites is that wooden doors famously cause more problems than they are worth. Wooden doors are prone to rotting, warping and discolouration. Because of this, timber doors need care and attention – which involves removing the heavy door from the hinges, putting your back out in the process and hiring an experienced carpenter to rework your door to fit into the frame.  A time consuming and expensive process.

Composite doors capture the elegance of wooden doors minus the hassle. Your composite door is guaranteed against warping, discolouration and cracking for an entire decade! Making them the favoured choice over wooden doors.

The quality and design of our composite doors work in perfect harmony, defending your Chelmsford property against the harshest, most corrosive and damaging weather conditions.

A door that will truly defend your home against the elements, requiring little work to retain its functionality. You’ll never need to paint your door, nor worry about the hinges or locks seizing and not performing as they should.

Composite Doors Design

Composite doors are designed to aesthetically replicate more traditional timber doors, minus the drawbacks. As our entire range of composite doors are made to order, you need not worry about a compromising fit. As our doors are manufactured to your unique measurements, we guarantee up to six times greater draught exclusion compared with traditional timber doors , ensuring your Chelmsford home retains its expensive heating through the cold months of winter.

Would you like to hazard a guess at what percentage of your monthly energy wastage is directly down to ill fitted, poor quality windows and doors? 5% maybe, 10% at a push? Alarmingly, research carried out by the National Insulation Association shows that windows and doors can be responsible for up a massive 20% of total energy wastage!

Unlike a lot of other double glazing engineers, Oakland offer a full service. When needed, we give expert advice and a technical survey before installation. In short, Oakland offer double glazing in uPVC, Aluminium and Timber Windows. We also fit our double glazing to made to measure, bespoke conservatories.
Questions are. What are the benefits of double glazing? Can double glazing save you money? How does Double Glazing work?

Double Glazing; Benefits and Cash

Let’s tackle the first two questions now, as one. One of the major benefits of investing in double glazing is the money you will save on your energy bills. According to an in depth case study carried out by Energy Saving Trust, every type of property benefits from Double Glazing.
For this article, let’s take A rated Energy Efficient Windows. Again, going by the data available on the Energy Saving Trust’s website. Data taken from properties where all windows have been upgraded to double glazing.

Detached Property: £120 – £160
Semi Detached: £85 – £110
Mid Terrace: £65 – £90
Bungalow: £55 – £75
Flat: £40 – £60

These savings are based on typical gas-heated homes, taken from Energy Saving Trust.org 

It goes without saying that all Windows, Double Glazing and single pane, will not retain 100% of their energy. However, these figures perfectly illustrate just how much money energy efficient double glazing can save you. As it stands, highest level of savings is £160, the price of your car insurance? And the lowest, £40, the price of a meal for two? But we can take this further, considering that we back the Eurocell ten year guarantee.

Now the picture starts to change. Highest level of savings is £1,600, the price of a very respectable all inclusive holiday. The lowest savings is still a massive £400, the cost of a brand new television.

Further Benefits Of Double Glazing

Double glazing decreases the size of your carbon footprint, something we should all be pushing to do. For example, our uPVC double glazing is 100% recyclable. So, in many, many years time when your uPVC double glazing is removed and replaced. You can rest assure that the materials used to create your uPVC window can and will be melted down and be used again.

Fed up with the loud noise of the outside world? Double glazing insulates your house acoustically. Minimising unwanted noise that pollutes your home, keeping the disrupting noises of car horns and general clatter outside. Oakland Home Improvements only install the highest quality Double Glazing.

Now the big one, how does Double Glazing work?

thermally efficient double glazing

How Does Double Glazing Work?

In essence, the technology behind double glazing is fairly simplistic. Essentially, the two panes of glass trap a wall of air between them. The gap is too narrow for the air to circulate, so instead it forms a thermal barrier. The thermal barrier stops cold air from entering your home. It also heavily reduces warm air from leaving your property, hence the term thermal barrier.

Energy Efficient Double Glazing

Hypothetically, if you invest in Double Glazing this winter, your expensive energy bills will decrease. It’s that simple. But, how does Double Glazing save you money on your heating bills? And, how much can you look to save?

Did you know that you lose between 10% and 20% of your total energy loss per month through inefficient Windows and Doors? That can rack up to be a hefty sum of money over a long, cold, bitter winter.

Double Glazing works by trapping a layer of air between two panes of glass. The space between the glass isn’t big enough for the air to circulate, so it doesn’t. Instead it acts as a thermal barrier, preventing cold air from seeping through and stopping your expensive heating from leaving your Essex home.

Our Double Glazing products are installed by our in house team of professionals. With over thirty years of experience serving the local community we are certain that you will be totally  satisfied. We promise minimal disturbance whilst the work is carried out. We clean up after ourselves, leaving your Essex home exactly as we found it – Asides from brand spanking new, energy efficient Double Glazing!

Double Glazing That’s Easily Maintained

Once installed, our Double Glazing units require little to no maintenance at all. To keep your Double Glazing in pristine condition, Oakland recommend washing the uPVC frame with hot soapy water once a month or so. That’s all you have to do.

Your brand new Double Glazing Windows will never need painting. What’s more, the uPVC frames are scratch resistant. All working mechanisms of the uPVC Window are cleverly built into the frame. This intelligent design benefits your new uPVC window in a couple of ways.

Firstly, encasing the hinges and locks within the frame keeps them out the way of harmful and corrosive weather conditions. The second reason, safety. Building the locks and hinges into the frame protects children from trapping their fingers within the mechanisms. It also makes it a lot harder for anybody to gain entry from the outside.

Working with Eurocell

When you choose Oakland Home Improvements to install your Double Glazing, you choose to work with one of the most trusted names in the industry, Eurocell. Eurocell are market leaders of uPVC products, based right here in the UK.

Since 1974, Eurocell have invested in developing uPVC frames that meet the strict demands of architects, specifiers, fabricators and installers. Our uPVC frames also benefit home owners, by boosting their properties energy efficiency.

Eurocell’s headquarters are based in Derbyshire. They boast a huge, purpose-built eighty thousand sq ft extrusion and tool-making facility. Just to give you an idea of the scale of Eurocell’s manufacturing demand, they have a 260,000 sq ft area, dedicated to stock holding.

By choosing Oakland, you choose to work with Eurocell. A company with other forty two years experience in building, designing and manufacturing the best uPVC frame available.

Secure Double Glazing

As professional installation engineers, we have a responsibility in committing ourselves to your security. So, what measures do we take to ensure that your uPVC windows remain resilient when faced with a possible break in?

For starters, internal beading. All of our Double Glazing windows are internally beaded, making it near on impossible for would be intruders to remove the glass from the outside.

What’s more, our hook shaped locks are embedded within the frame. Placing our secure locking systems within the uPVC frame makes it a lot harder for people to tamper with them. So long as the window is shut, the lock cannot be reached.
