A Pilkington Glass Property Case Study

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.

Hurricane Lamps With A Dimmer Effect From Mono

Hurricane Lamps With A Dimmer Effect From Mono

Mono Windlights are elegant and novel new hurricane lamps that can create a change of mood when it’s called for; part of the glass has been sandblasted and the remainder left clear, so that the lamps appear to “dim” the light.
 
The lamps are ideal for lighting the patio on a breezy summer evening, and by simply turning the glass you can create an ever-changing ambience – from clear and pure white to muted light.

Made from stainless steel and partially sand blasted glass, the lamps are available in two sizes and a tea light is used as the lighting source; standard tea lights fit both sizes and replacement glass is available.
