Solidors New Addition to their Extensive Range of Colours



Solidor continue to set the pace in the composite door sector when it comes to product innovation and the introduction of Rich Aubergine, an incredible 17th colour, continues the pioneering trend.

While some companies have recently launched new colours in the composite door sector, they appear to be several years behind as Solidor has launched the likes of the Duck Egg Blue, Mocha, French Grey and now Rich Aubergine over the last twelve months. These colours are also available both inside and out, enabling homeowners to create something truly individual. Bude Windows offers the option to have these beautifully finished doors in Cornwall.




Outer frame options extend to 18 colour combinations and there is the choice of either a Kommerling C70 or ovolo O70 Gold door frame. Given that both the door frames and composite door slabs are a laminated and through colour finish from Solidor, there's reassurance that together they will match perfectly, unlike some painted, stained and embossed offerings on the market.

Gareth Mobley, managing director of Solidor group commnets: 

" Rich Aubergine is a stunning new colour to add to our range of 17 finishes".


The entire Solidor range is available through Bude Windows & Conservatories Ltd who are pleased to be a Premier Registered Installer of Solidor doors.

Orangery's




The orangery is a beautiful concept that is growing rapidly in the UK. 

Rather than being a detached building, an orangery is a modern way to extend your home as they still create a relaxing and entertaining space that is often modern, unique and a feature room in any property.
An orangery, with its greater mass of columns, pilasters and classic details creates a striking visual impact and contributes to the overall appeal of your home with a robust and permanent presence.

An orangery is often a more practical solution, than a conservatory, for people who wish to extend their home and use the extra space all year round or open to the existing house. Orangery’s are more a part of your existing building due to the use of walls and glazing providing all the best features of a conservatory and a traditional brick extension combined.

The orangery can be enhanced by teaming it with a bi-fold door which when fully opened brings the atmosphere of outdoor living into your home. To find out more about all the benefits that an orangery could bring to your home then visit our site.

A wonderful concept, with the same building regulations as a standard conservatory and suitable for any shaped home.

Artisan Finishes
Artisan colour options offer the homeowner the opportunity to personalize windows, doors, conservatories and Orangery’s to your own taste and style.

The range provides individual statement colours that instantly enhance the visual of your home from traditional greens and wood grains to contemporary blacks and creams, The artisan colour range offers choice while still maintaining the virtually maintenance free benefits of uPVC.

The Changing Face of the Conservatory Market


The Changing Face of the Conservatory Market


In a country where the sky is sadly more often grey than blue, and overcast days are all-too-
common, it’s little wonder that conservatories boomed in the 1990s and early years of 2000. They
bought much needed light into the home and allowed a nation of keen gardeners to feast their eyes
on the fruits of their labours whatever the weather.

Best of all this was an extension that was quick, from signing the order to putting in the furniture
was only a matter of weeks. The other benefit was also that most of these conservatories were
exempt from going through the lengthy planning process.

Bude Windows & Conservatories Ltd were part of that conservatory boom, the demand was great
and there was something for everyone, from the simple lean-to garden room, to a boxed gutter
Georgian for a bungalow or a ‘P’ shape for the real ‘wow’ factor.

Now in 2012 the traditional conservatory market has slowed, the reason being that we now have a
second generation conservatory buyer who feel that they couldn’t use their conservatories all year
round with the installation of the traditional polycarbonate roof and lack of solar glazing.

The second generation buyers are expecting a room that they can use 52 weeks of the year, they
want tall walls to provide somewhere for their flat screen TV.

Whilst traditional sales of conservatories have dropped we have seen a rise in sales of bespoke
Orangery’s and garden rooms. Today’s discerning customer want a room to fit in with their lifestyle
needs . They want full walls, a shaded roof, an extension to the kitchen or a new family room,
somewhere to sit and watch TV, eat or even study.

This change in demand has meant a change in our business to accommodate a changing market. Our
fitting teams have become multi-skilled building crews. We design each Orangery or garden room
from scratch to include design features that our customers have in mind. Very often these include
slate or tiles roofs with a lantern or skylights rather than a full glass roof.

So whether you want a traditional conservatory or a stunning architectural extension to your home
we here at Bude Windows & Conservatories Ltd can accommodate all of your requirements.
