A Pilkington Glass Property Case Study
Jayne and Graham Wren moved to their 19th century crofter’s cottage in Yorkshire eight years ago, as it seemed to them an ideal environment to bring up a family. It was originally a semi-detached building, which had been previously converted into a single cottage.
Although the cottage was roomy enough for the couple to begin with, they went on to have three children and in 2003 decided more space was needed and embarked on an extension for the cottage.
This resulted in the loss of a playroom, so to address this and bring more light into the cottage, a conservatory was agreed as the ideal solution. The Wrens’ conservatory was designed using powder-coated aluminium on the outside and ash hardwood on the inside, giving it all the benefits of aluminium and the beauty of wood.
