Integral Blinds in Reading

Integral Blinds Installation in Woodley, Reading

A stunning integral blinds installation in Woodley by the expert team at Abbey Windows. Beautiful venetian style blinds installed for bi-fold doors and French doors in Reading. After a beautiful French Doors and Bi-Fold Doors installation, our loyal Reading customers were looking to create more privacy within their Woodley home.

Additional  Privacy

Like with most contemporary properties in populated areas, our customers we concerned with being overlooked. We had previously installed beautiful Liniar French Doors with a Juliet balcony for their main bedroom, and agreed an integral blinds installation would be perfect to ensure more privacy with as little maintenance possible. Morley Integral blinds in Reading are an excellent choice, as our customer’s home is now more private, yet still welcomes the presence of natural sunlight into their living areas.

Prevents Bleaching

Window blinds also help prevent the unsightly bleached effect from ultra violet rays hitting furniture and carpets. The upstairs of our customer’s Woodley property was a north west elevation, resulting in the upper level becoming excessively hot in the afternoons and early evenings. Our integral blinds installation has perfectly solved this problem for our Reading customers, while still letting a sufficient amount of sunlight to enhance their home beautifully.

Superb Functionality

While the between glass blinds are concealed, they can be controlled from the outside, allowing our customers to tilt the blinds according to the position of the sun and adjusting how private they wished the room to be. With the blinds being integral, this means practically no cleaning is required! Because of this they are incredibly durable, and will last our Reading customers for many years into the future.

Customer Thoughts

Our customers were incredibly happy with the results, leaving us the following postitive review: 'We are thrilled with the finished Morley blinds product. We truly didn't expect the results we have received - despite tilting the blinds to their closed position this really doesn’t effect a sufficient amount of sunlight entering our Reading home. A truly genius idea that we thank Abbey Windows for! When we compared other options available to us this was by far the most simplest and cost-effective solution. We didn't understand quite how easy the process would be in removing old units and replacing with integral blinds in glass units. Once we understood how simple this would be, we have now ordered integral blinds for our Liniar French Doors you installed downstairs in our Breakfast room, and also for our Bi-Fold Doors in our study. It is a little embarrassing that we didn't take your advice at the time, but with your competitive prices and swift service were very pleased to have now made our decision. We’re thrilled!'

Conservatory Reading

Stunning conservatory installation in Reading by Abbey Conservatories! We were approached by our Reading customers who had an old aluminium conservatory with a polycarbonate roof. The old conservatory was cold in the winter, hot in the summer and noisy when it rained. Our customers were looking for an affordable alternative that would keep its temperature in colder months but wouldn't become hot like a greenhouse in summer time. 

New uPVC Conservatory

We suggested that they view our beautiful uPVC conservatories, and they were instantly impressed. Our new energy efficient uPVC conservatory, with its state of the art glass coatings, now retains heat in the winter and reflects heat in the summer. This means that the conservatory is a useable part of the house all year round!

Quick Installation

The new conservatory went up without a hitch. Our Reading customers opted for a lean-to conservatory, which is the most competitively priced conservatory in our range. They chose a classic 'white' for the finish, with a stunning glass roof to add a classic aesthetic and improve noise insulation.

Versatile Design

Our conservatories can be used in all manner of ways - these customers in particular chose a conservatory to create an additional living space; an area to relax with patio doors giving them a beautiful view of their garden.

Orangeries Installation, Reading

---

Abbey Windows have over 30 years of experience with installing fantastic double glazing products in homes throughout Reading and the surrounding areas. We are dedicated to working with homeowners like you to make sure that your home improvements go exactly as planned. This particular client selected Abbey Windows for many reasons, such as our orangeries installed by Ultraframe. We are also proud of our accredited Origin installers, who are trained by the best in the business to install market-leading products. The primary intention is this construction project was to maximise the existing available space with an extension. At the same time the owners wanted to maintain a beautiful view of the garden without suffering from the ‘greenhouse effect’ that can occur in conservatories with large panes.

---

---

Custom-Made Double Glazing

By working with our customer, we realised that an orangery would be the perfect answer to his requirements. With more of a solid structure and less focus on large window panes, orangeries can offer the perfect combination of natural light and privacy that conservatories and homes cannot. The homeowner was also certain that they wanted to connect the orangery to two separate rooms, which we were more than able to accommodate. This helped to build the illusion of a larger overall living space, and we worked to maintain the living room aesthetic that the customer preferred. During production the homeowners also decided that our aluminium bi-folding doors would be more suitable for their new product that the traditional patio doors they originally had in mind. This allowed for an even more spacious feeling, with the orangery blending seamlessly into the patio.

---

---

The Perfect Middle Ground – The Verdict

The finished product was a bespoke orangery that provides our customer with all of the features and benefits of modern engineering. The perfect summer space for entertaining guests, this new extension manages to blend the privacy of the home with the space of the conservatory. Our installation team thoroughly enjoyed working with this homeowner, who had only good things to say of us. Applauding the team’s efficiency, he noted that he ‘can’t fault any of them. The people who did the groundwork were efficient, clean and tidy…there was minimum disruption to us’. Claiming that he would work with Abbey Windows again in the future, this customer has left our business ecstatic at the quality of his new product. So get in contact with Abbey Windows yourself for orangeries that offer maximum security and incredible thermal efficiency for an affordable price.

uPVC Conservatory Whitley, Reading

uPVC Conservatory Replacement Carried Out In Reading By The Abbey Windows Team

A couple in Reading have recently chosen a stunning uPVC Conservatory upgrade for their Reading Home. Their old, flat-roofed leaking conservatory has been skilfully replaced by our expert conservatory installation team to a sophisticated Gable End Conservatory.

This stylish and charming style of uPVC Conservatory has completely rejuvenated their Whitley home whilst maintaining the authentic charm of their character property.

Leaking Conservatory

The couple’s flat-roofed uPVC conservatory had been in place for over twenty-five years, but a leaking roof and a frame which let in draughts meant the outdated structure could no longer be the hub of their Reading home.

With seven grandchildren, the couple were now looking for a room with functionality. A space that could be used throughout the seasons, whatever the weather.

Bespoke Conservatory Refurbishment

Our double glazing team talked through the exciting conservatory styles we have to offer including our bespoke conservatory styles. It was important to the couple that we keep to a similar footprint to the original uPVC Conservatory. Together we began to design the couple’s ideal conservatory, in keeping with the look and feel of their Reading home.

A brand new conservatory plan was drawn up with a number of amendments to enhance the look of the Reading home. The new plans would bring the uPVC Conservatory up to date, whilst retaining the lines of the house.

Gable Ended Conservatory

The couple opted for a stunning Gable End Conservatory; a modern style of uPVC Conservatory offering maximum space and height within the room. The double glazed front window panel of this cleverly designed uPVC Conservatory remains upright rather than sloping back towards the centre. This, coupled with the new high-angled double glazed roof, maximises light and creates a feeling of great height within the uPVC Conservatory. Check out the before and after photographs below.

The conservatory roof replacement will further improve the functionality of the new uPVC Conservatory in Reading. We wished to give the couple climate control with high performance glass. The old, leaking roof was replaced with an UltraFrame double glazed roof, providing the couple with a uPVC Conservatory they can use all year round. No longer will this family room be hot in summer and cold in winter, with the innovative four-season double glazing.

uPVC French Doors Fitted on New uPVC Conservatory

The Abbey Conservatory installation team lastly fitted a pair of stylish uPVC French Doors from Liniar into the new uPVC Conservatory. An elegant addition allowing easy access to the garden on hot summer days.

We built practical hardware into the uPVC Conservatory design allowing the new uPVC French Doors to be easily latched back on a windy day.

Further security features were included with a Yale Lockmaster multipoint lock incorporated into the uPVC French Doors, the ultimate shield against would-be intruders.

Reading Conservatory Replacement - The Verdict

The couple worked with Abbey in a dynamic fashion, getting involved with all details to find a solution which would suit both their Whitley home and their living style.

The verdict, a success! The couple can enjoy their new uPVC Conservatory to the full, all year round.

The couple are particularly pleased in the size and feeling of spaciousness in the new conservatory. Having previously had pinoleum blinds on the uPVC Windows, the couple have delayed their decision to put new conservatory blinds in. Simply appreciating the bright, airy feel of their new living space.

The conservatory is now used as a family room and is certainly the new heart of their Reading home.
