With the first interest rate rise in ten years and lenders now asking for up to 25% for a deposit, it might not be a good time to think about moving. Making improvements to your property could well be a better way to invest in your home.

Crystal Living have offered a wide range of home improvement services across the North West from their Poynton base for 25 years and have recently opened a new showroom in Glossop.

Owner Tony Wooderson is proud of the numerous projects that the family-run business have completed for their clients over the years and has seen his company evolve over the years to meet the demands and expectations of the modern homeowner who is looking for a quality addition to their home.

One example of this is how the business has introduced a wide range of modern window products that use cutting edge technology and reflect the changing tastes and trends of home design.

‘There is a misconception that the traditional white UPVC is second rate, but things have moved on a great deal in recent years,’ he said. ‘We offer all kinds of window styles and colours, to suit all homes and tastes.’

There are indeed many options available to anyone looking to upgrade windows on their property. Aluminium windows offer a stylish and slim design that are cost effective and can reduce heat loss by up to 60%. For a more natural effect our Timber alternative ranges of windows are hand finished and can be finished with any colour of your choice.

If you want the best of both worlds, Evolution timber alternative windows offer the natural wood look while providing great energy efficiency and low-maintenance. They are also a viable solution for properties that are within a conservation area and need to meet an Article 4 Direction.

With a range of colours from French Grey to Moss Green, you no longer have to settle for the white UPVC offering that was the standard finish in windows for decades. If you visit one of our showrooms, you can get a feel for your new windows and choose your colour in person along with expert advice from the team of design consultants.

If you’re looking for extra room within your property then there are a range of options to make more use of your space. From a stylish orangery or garden room to a single storey extension, the team at Crystal Living have a dedicated team of experts that can help you through the process and enable you to make the right decision.

Tony added: ‘We advise our clients on what options are available to improve their property while listening to their needs every step of the way.’

The team have worked on homes of all shapes and sizes over the years and have a wealth of experience within their ranks to help you find a bespoke solution to the improvements that you are seeking for your home.
