Outdoor Living
Aluminium before it was cool

HAVING REACHED ITS third decade in the supply of cast components for the conservatory sector Conservatory Cast Systems Ltd has learnt a thing or two about the industry . The company has been the driving force behind many successful innovations and is currently spearheading the current rise in the exciting market for Verandas both contemporary and classic Victorian Style .
Anthony Wareing , Group Sales and Marketing Director , comments “ When I visited the Fensterbau Frontale exhibition in 2014 I saw that the European market had made a shift to outdoor living products and garden rooms and I knew this would translate well into the struggling conservatory market here in the UK ”. Having made this revelation , the company re-engineered some of its existing portfolio of products and set about a relaunch at the next Fit Show . “ The objective for us at the Fit Show was just to spark the idea of a new product that could be easily fit and didn ’ t need much building work ”. It had instant kerb appeal and the business has quickly secured several partners who have taken the basic design ideas and pushed them to new levels .
The approach to intelligent design that the industry experts delivered has seen the market for Verandas grow exponentially over the last couple of years . It ’ s not surprising though with such a cost-effective solution that delivers stunning results that so many have been quick to adopt Verandas into their portfolio . “ We ’ ve already seen some great innovations as the industry does what it does best and pushes the boundaries of design with split level Verandas wrapping round a building , Hot Tub enclosures and as free-standing luxury pagodas for outdoor dining complete with stone-built clay ovens ,” comments Anthony .
Excited by this growth the company is already expanding the range with balustrades , hanging basket planters and integrated light fixtures all coming soon . “ Our foundry which makes all the products and our engineers are here in Sheffield and we ’ re proud to be Made in Britain which is another bonus for the installers .”
