In 2025 the movement towards garden kitchens and outdoor dining looks set to continue, but thanks to our unpredictable British weather, homeowners still want an indoor/outdoor space for flexibility. Conservatories remain the best weather-proof way to enjoy the garden.

The production team in our glass factory have introduced a training matrix which was described by our Auditor as the best he's ever seen. We've always invested in our people, but with the skills shortage remaining a big issue, we’re proud to be supporting our fantastic team.

Communication with customers sounds simple, but it often falls down. Suppliers should deliver when they say they will, or inform customers of changes as soon as possible so they can adjust their plans. We believe honesty is the best policy. Can your supplier say the same?

Triple glazing has its benefits but the current marketplace doesn’t need it. There is already a huge gap in the energy performance of most of the windows installed in the UK, and the performance of the windows being manufactured today. Let's focus on addressing this first.

Something interesting is happening in the solid conservatory roof market at the moment. It continues to be a sector of the marketplace that is buoyant, but the designs that we’re seeing coming through are becoming increasingly complicated. Has anyone else noticed the same thing?

The furnace installation in the Double R factory is coming along nicely.

This significant investment takes time and expertise to install, but we can't wait to have it up and running.

After a busy end to last week with six containers being delivered over two days for our new furnace, work continued into the weekend. The first full day of installation took place on Saturday and so far so good!

The first of six containers arriving for our new furnace. Exciting times!

We’re seeing more demand for traditional conservatory roofs with accessories including pelmets and gutter cornices, and in Anthracite Grey. We're pleased to be able to support installers to meet this demand efficiently, and supply high quality roofs for all requirements.

Remember the old adage that when the daffodils came out people would start buying conservatories? The start of Spring has been slower than we would have liked as an industry, but with the May bank holidays upon us the time for upgrading homes is here.

With Everest hitting the headlines as the latest casualty of a slow home improvement market, it's time to look at what we're selling and how we're selling it. Homeowners want quality from reliable suppliers, true energy savings, and light bright spaces they can use all year.

Interior trends for 2024 demand texture and light. We can deliver both with glass. The complete range of stunning textured glass designs now available means glass is part of interior design conversations.

Can a supplier prove or guarantee stability?

The short answer is no. But there are some signs that can offer a level of reassurance. For example, has your supplier been in business for a long time? Got a team of loyal employees? Invested in the future recently?

We have.

Where do we stand with the Future Homes Standard?
It's true that there may be no change in u-values for the FHS after all but the demand for energy efficient products is here now and we need to play our part in meeting it

How quickly can you return a quote for a conservatory installation? We understand that as a supplier we have a role to play in helping our installer customers build and maintain a good reputation. That’s why we aim to return quotes within an hour of receiving them. #support

[DoubleR @Double_R_Glass]

Does your conservatory roof supplier help or hinder the service you offer? We aim to provide quotes in an hour, deliver completed roofs to site (all components on the same day), supply additional instructions for installation, and do some of the preparatory work up front.
