34 | APRIL 2018 Doors for Outdoor Living MIX AND MATCH FOR OUTDOOR LIVING Homeowners now have a myriad of choices in structures, doors, windows and roofs when it comes to improving their properties to make the most of the trend for ‘outdoor living.’ Many householders are find- ing it’s time to replace their conservatories, which can often be more than 20 years old. Frequent- ly, homeowners want a blend of styles – perhaps combining the long open space of a lean-to with the elegant design of an Elizabe- than roof. There are also garden room and orangery options offering space and light, along with bi-fold doors often used to separate conserv- atories from dining rooms. What homeowners increasingly want is an expert blend of style, tradition and modernity that also brightens up their gardens. Quality of product is impor- tant, not to mention ‘usability’ of extensions and conservatories. Householders want a space that stays warmer and is easier to heat. Internal bi-fold doors are also an asset to a conservatory, as they open up internal and external living spaces. Anglian Home Improvements have provided us with these exam- ples of its fully fitted conservato- ries and orangeries. ‘Bi-fold doors’ – White timber windows with cottage bars, aluminium bi- fold doors and PVCu lantern roof. ‘Solid Rood Conservatory’ - Replica tiled roof extension with carbon grey replica tiles, white PVCu windows and white PVCu French doors. ‘Anglian Conservatory’ - Edwardian PVCu Dual Anthracite Grey (Grey on outside/white on inside) conservatory.
