What The ‘L’ – A Quizzical Critique For the Double Glazing Experts
Author: Conservatory Outlet Team | Leave a Comment >>After what seems like an eternity we now know the compliance criteria for windows and doors from October thanks to the publication of the 2010 approved document part L.
What does this tell us?
- Firstly it would appear that the WER scheme is written in to a C rating, while not labelled the BFRC scheme, in essence that is what it is, and secondly that a draconian 1.6 U-value can be used as an alternative.
- This now means that all the self-certification bodies can produce their own WER schemes, so the next round of self publicizing scammery sets in motion. With the consumer already being conned by the poor science behind the BFRC scheme, are they next to be subjected to the marketing of schemes, to ensure that they will choose a contractor using the ‘best’ scheme.

Glasstalk | The Double Glazing Industry’s Best Kept Secret!
Author: Conservatory Outlet Team | Leave a Comment >>The new ‘Facebook’ style website www.glasstalk.co.uk has now been live for a couple of weeks.
There’s been a few teething problems most of which have been ironed out, and we have a plan to make many improvements to the functionality of ‘the Wall’ in the near future to make it more exciting.
The interesting thing is that those who are using it, are coming back regularly and spending a lot of time on there. For people to be spending an average 12 minutes on the site each time, suggests those who are using the new Glasstalk website are finding it interesting, informative and amusing.
To date there are 150+ members of the site, and I would guess 20-30 active members.
At this point it is very much still at a testing stage and will be fully launched once the improvements have been made. But we are…

Glasstalk Networking and Discussion Forum Hailed An Overwhelming Success
Author: Conservatory Outlet Team | Leave a Comment >>The second coming of GlassTalk, the networking event launched in March this year following the cancellation of Glassex, has been hailed as another great success as 150 glass and glazing industry professionals – all senior managers, company directors and owners – gathered with the express aim of doing business, righting some wrongs and sharing successes and perhaps jointly shouldering the burdens of some failures.
Learning from the inaugural event, proceedings were slicker and better managed, with lessons learned as a result of dozens of delegate comments and positive feedback. Nonetheless, whilst the organisers had polished the programme great care was taken to preserve the simplicity and integrity of GlassTalk, recognised as key qualities by participants.
With more ‘speed-networking’ sessions, interspersed with GlassTalk’s characteristic ‘On the Couch’ interviews with key industry speakers, delegates each managed to meet at least half of those attending in the managed networking, with further opportunities for…
