Later this summer after many years researching the most effective and cost efficient systems of green energy for the home Anglian are now ready to raise the standard in solar energy with this latest product development.

Here are a few facts about Solar;

There are two types of solar panel; these are Photovoltaic and Solar Thermal. Photovoltaic uses the suns energy and turns it into electricity for the home. Solar Thermal difference is that it changes that energy into heat.

As soon as you have solar panels installed, solar energy is free
It’s safe, clean and environmentally friendly
It will reduce your energy bills
You maybe able to generate an income by selling surplus power to the National Grid.
Solar power systems can provide heat or electricity for the home
Most modern boilers are compatible with solar heating.
Over the next couple of months I’ll be taking a more detailed look into the technical side of solar as I bring you a comprehensive guide to Anglian’s marketing leading and energy saving improvement.

The New Anglian Verandah

Launched earlier this year the new contemporary design from Anglian has seen an unprecedented level of interest. It seems that everyone is eager to get their hands on their own piece of home improvement paradise this summer and I for one can’t blame them!

The Anglian Verandah really does breathe new life into the home and helps bridge that gap between enjoying the sun in the garden or being inside.


The new Verandah brings the garden into the home

Homeowners that have purchased the Verandah are eager to stamp their own individuality onto the new room. The most recent installation has a beautiful wooden floor from Timberland Flooring and looks stunning within its new surroundings.

The interior of this Verandah was designed by Ann Broad of who is one of the most respected interior designers within the industry and on the evidence of these pictures Ann can bring any room to life!

Commenting on the Sport Relief ‘Premier League Season in Just One Day’, Russell Ellis, event organiser from Anglian Home Improvements said, “This exceptional sporting event not only promises to be a fantastic day but should raise money and awareness for those less fortunate in our immediate area and further-a-field in devastated places such as Haiti”.

Spectators and supporters are welcome to come to Norfolk FA’s football development centre where they can support the teams and help raise money for this year’s Sport Relief.

Key event supporter, Shaun Turner, Chief Executive of Norfolk FA said, “Norfolk County Football Association is delighted to be supporting the ‘Premier League Season in Just One Day’. The chance to raise money for Sport Relief and to bring the community together through football and charity is a great opportunity”.

Money raised by this local Sport Relief activity goes straight to Comic Relief to help transform the lives of poor and vulnerable people, both at home and across the world’s poorest countries. Sport Relief 2010 is highlighting three key issues that donated funds will help tackle – children who live on the streets or work in dangerous conditions, people affected by malaria and local UK projects.

Run in conjunction with West Suffolk College, the apprenticeship programme provides each apprentice with the opportunity to develop the skills and knowledge they require to undertake the role whilst gaining vital training from experienced installers.

At the end of the course, each apprentice will receive a NVQ Level 2 in Window Installation having also learnt a range of key skills in communication, equality and diversity awareness, customer service and numeracy.

Speaking about his decision to become an apprentice Matt Banks said: “I was keen to be involved in Anglian’s apprenticeship scheme as it gives me real skills that I can use for the rest of my life. I look forward to working in a team and becoming a good window fitter.”

This announcement coincides with Apprenticeship Week 2010, organised by the National Apprenticeship Service (NAS).

The garden, designed by Krista Grindley, is Anglia’s first at Hampton Court and was praised by the panel of selected RHS judges for its colourful displays and eye catching features and finishes.

Anglian Home Improvements’ Head of Marketing Melanie Russell said: “We are absolutely delighted to be presented with a Silver Gilt Award for our garden at Hampton Court. It is a real privilege to be involved in this prestigious event and massive thanks must go to our designer Krista and the team at Anglian for their creativity, dedication and hard work ensuring that the garden looks as spectacular as it does”.

The garden design’s aim is to inspire people to integrate their homes and gardens and create both outside and inside spaces that can be used for entertaining and relaxing in throughout the year.

Using a Victorian theme, inspired by the use of one of Anglian Home Improvements Victorian style conservatories, Krista’s garden fuses modern with traditional, including pieces such as an original 1888 fireplace rescued from a hotel and vineyard in Dorset; an outside sofa and table (made from contemporary materials and designed to be left permanently outside) and a bespoke bright annealed stainless steel rill and pool. Environmentally friendly elements are also abundant, from the use of a variety of sustainable materials and sourcing of all materials from UK suppliers, to the presence of numerous wildlife habitats, including bird and bug boxes, and planting that attracts wildlife helping to maintain a natural ecological balance in the garden.

The design itself grew out of a competition sponsored by Anglian Home Improvements, which pitted the skills of nearly 30 third year Garden Design students from specialist horticultural college Capel Manor in Enfield, London.

Winner Krista, who now owns her own garden design company, Greenwork Design, based in Wanstead, East London said:”I am so excited that the garden has been given this award. It makes the past three weeks of hard work transforming our 131 square foot patch of earth into what now stands here, all worth it! My thanks go to Anglian Home Improvements for giving me the opportunity to exhibit my design at such a world-renowned event, and to the judges for seeing the garden’s potential and presenting us with this accolade.”

This year’s Hampton Court Palace Flower Show Flower is the 19th to be held at the Hampton Court Palace. Last year’s event saw visitor numbers in excess of 160,000. Gates for the 2008 show open to the pubic from Thursday 10th to Saturday 13 July. Tickets can be obtained from the RHS website at www.rhs.org.uk
