As we all know, this has been no ordinary year and the impact on every facet of our lives has been hugely significant. As Lockdown restrictions continue to be eased, we’re still working with safety as our principal concern, something we wrote about in detail in last week’s Blog. Whilst our manufacturing operations have been scarcely interrupted, it has meant our traditional orangery and garden room photoshoot ‘season’ will be starting a little later this Summer.

On what is the last day of Summer term for most school children here in the UK, thoughts usually turn to the long holiday period but this has obviously been anything but a usual year. With the challenges of home working and home schooling to consider, many of us have been adapting to new ways of working and learning new skills.

Bi-fold doors, or patio doors as they are also sometimes known, can help to bring a wide range of benefits to your house and garden space.

In our latest blog, we take a look at some of the many advantages that adding this type of door can bring to your home – whether via an extension such as an orangery or garden room, or a building project to open up the rear of your property.

Like so many things this year, the English sporting Summer has been almost completely written off as a result of the continuing impact of Covid-19. With Wimbledon having been due to start this week, it’s certainly been making us feel somewhat nostalgic about the grass court tennis season, along with the absence of cricket and the many other sights and sounds of the sporting season.

In this third and final piece, from our recent series of articles reviewing our best orangery and garden room photography over the years, we come to the period 2016 – 2020. It has been both inspiring and rewarding going back through some of our archives to see how design tastes and trends have changed and evolved over time.
