County Glass and Social Media.

Since February, County Windows and County Glass have embarked on a social media odyssey. The idea being that you, the user, the customer, the potential customer, will be able to very easily find out more about not just us as a company and the products we sell, but also the people behind the stories.. the installers, craftsmen and other folks who make up the County family.

The Initial focus has been on County Windows. Daily site visits provide plenty of inspiration for taking photos, and if you have dipped into our Twitter, Tumblr or Instagram, we are hopeful that deeper details of our work are beginning to emerge.

Over the past couple of weeks however, we have been spreading the focus out, casting a wider net to encompass County Glass. The work done there on a daily basis is nothing short of remarkable. From cutting edge technology to the finely honed skills of our Lead / Decorative Glass department, County Glass is more than a factory, and more than a production line.

So the goal is, over the coming weeks and months, spend a little time each day in a different department and refer the stories to you with vivid pictures and descriptions that explain who and what is in action.

All our social media works as a repository of information for you. If you 'follow' us, that's great and we thank you. If not, you can still dive in and load up on knowledge about both of our companies.

Below are a few examples of the images you will find, although the in-depth  notes accompany the photos on the social media sites, all of which are conveniently linked on the right hand side of this blog.

Thanks so much for reading,

Conservatory Replacement in the County Windows Showroom

Here is the old Victorian Conservatory ready to be updated

Throughout 2013, County Windows are planning a number of upgrades to the showroom and the products displayed within. There will be more details of these updates as they come online. But first in the queue for a facelift was our Victorian Conservatory, which has been in place since this showroom opened in late 2000.
The feeling was that this model, whilst still popular, required an update to bring it in to line with both the changing market, and advances in frame, roof and glazing technology.
As this build was commencing in-house over a couple of days, we decided it would make a good photo study, which we could then share with you, our customers as a point of interest, and also a knowledge base for anyone considering a new Conservatory or modifying an existing structure.
The gallery is fairly extensive and can be found on our website HERE, or by either clicking on the below link, or copying and pasting it into your browser.
