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.
Â
The Roof: It was important for the Wrens to select a glass that needed minimal maintenance, so they chose to install Pilkington Activâ„¢ Blue combined with Pilkington K Glassâ„¢ in the roof.

The Paint & Paper Library’s Consultation Service
Colour is one of the most difficult aspects of interior decorating to get right, because it has as much to do with light as pigments, and neither is constant.
“Paint is usually the cheapest element of any design scheme,” says David Oliver owner of Paint & Paper library, “But it’s the easiest to get wrong!”
“It’s hard to make the imaginative leap from a tiny colour swatch to a large area; People are afraid — not only of wasting money, but of the sheer inconvenience of having to re-do a room.”
