C O M recently installed a conservatory at a project in central London worth approximately £10,000. The installation was one of the latest state-of-the-art installations to be commissioned, in what appears to be a growing consumer trend. Incorporating thermally efficient conservatory roof glass and modern bi-fold doors in black PVCu, Ian Davis, Sales Manager at frameXpress believes that the market has taken a bold shift towards aesthetics and performance as the consumer realises the benefits offered by high performance conservatory roof glass. Ian comments: “The innovation in roof glass that has been achieved over the last few years has been impressing homeowners. Additional space, equally gives more benefits by added value both physically and fiscally, end users are quickly grasping that year round use and reduced energy bills are real benefits that are easy to achieve.” Ian considers there is great potential for second generation conservatory investors and as they learn that more innovative design options are available it will enable them to use the space daily if they desire. Insulation and noise reduction also appear to be important criteria for those looking to invest. frameXpress customers are increasingly discussing solar glare, noise reduction and year round use when making specifications. Ian concludes: “This particular market sector is becoming much more buoyant as dynamic designs, thermal efficiency and regular usage are attractive qualities for buyers who have previously been disappointed.” For more information call 01952 581100 or visit www. frameXpress.co.uk
