Clearview has prided itself on its great customer service and quality products for many, many years. We have been determined to prove ourselves as not being any ordinary conservatory, windows and doors installer, but as being the best installer of such products in the country. Well now we are literally living up to our name as we introduce our Perfection uPVC doors.

Due to the massive success of our energy rated windows and doors, this new range takes things that one step further.

We know how important it is to be energy efficient, helping reduce heating costs within the home and save the environment. We also know that new doors in Lancashire need to come in a range of different styles and designs so that they will suit all traditional and contemporary homes within the county.  But this we feel no longer goes far enough, hence the creation of our Perfection range of doors.

You may be wondering what the difference is then between our usual range of doors and the Perfection range.  The glass used in the door is handcrafted into a stunning range of different designs, so it allows light to shine through in different ways, creating a massive visual impact.

Unlike conventional decorative glass there is no lead around each of the glass shapes. The individual pieces of bevelled glass are applied directly onto the backing glass and encapsulated within the sealed unit.

It must be noted that these doors which come in rosewood, oak or white, still provide the amount of energy efficiency, security and style that you would expect from any good replacement door.

We also supply conservatories in Warrington and double glazing in Preston, which means we should be your first choice for any form of home improvement.  Why not visit our brand new showroom in Warrington and see first hand why Clearview is the number one in Cheshire and Lancashire.


Install A Conservatory And You Need Never Leave Your Home

Everything nowadays is so expensive. Buying a home, buying a car, going into town for a drink, shopping, the list goes on and on. That is why an increasingly amount of people are staying at home at a weekend rather than going out enjoying themselves. But staying in is the new going out and what better way to enjoy the luxuries of home than by inviting friends round for drinks in a brand new conservatory.

Staying at home need not be a boring occasion. Your living room may become particularly cramped when you have a big group of people around, so why not extend the space for guests by letting them catch up on the latest gossip in your conservatory.  Because conservatories in Warrington are comprised of uPVC and double glazing it means that you do not need to worry about the room being too cold during the winter. They are specially designed so that they adjust themselves to the outside temperature.

A conservatory does not just have to be reduced as a location for drinks.  You could install a TV in there along with furniture such as a sofa or dining table.  The opportunities really are endless and do not be surprised if you end up spending more time in your conservatory than the rest of your home.

If you live in an awkward shaped home or one that is lacking space out the back, do not panic as there are a number of different conservatories to choose from including Victorian, Edwardian and Lean-To varieties.  You are bound to find a design which will slot in easily and blend in with the rest of your home.

Double glazing in Preston has proved to be a great insulator of heat in conservatories, so why not also look into doors in Lancashire as another way of keeping your home warm and secure.

Does My Door Need Replacing?

If you have a broken door, especially a crack in the pane, the following information will help to relieve your concerns.

If the glass is damaged below approximately waist height then it has to be toughened to the British Standard. This can be achieved by heat treatment to toughen the glass, laminated glass or adding an approved plastic safety film onto the glass. Either way it must meet building regulations.

The red area is critical location and needs to be replaced:

Replacement Door Guidelines
replacement door guidelines

The regulations were implemented based on risk analysis of the hazards and possible injuries from glass at vulnerable locations.

A swinging sheet of glass (whether in a door or window) is more likely to sustain damage and more likely to cause injury if damaged, than a fixed, or limited opening Casement Window.


I just wanted to write and say a big ‘Thank you’ for the new composite door your team fitted to our house in Pickmere, Cheshire in December 2008. I have to say that from the first visit from your sales team to the correspondence and eventual fitting the whole job was faultless.

Not only that the acquisition of this great new front door has not only meant we can now move our central Heating down 2 notches as there are no more drafts, but the house looks a lot better and I am sure would be worth more if we come to sell. Thanks Conservatory Outlet your work was fantastic!

I will certainly recommend.
