The Clement Windows Group is delighted to be involved in this year’s Haslemere Hounds project.
Following hot on the heels of 2017’s Haslemere Hogs and 2018’s Haslemere Hares, this regional initiative sees local artists, schools and companies decorating over 100 fibreglass hounds, which are then displayed throughout the town between May and September.
The hounds are then sold off, with the proceeds going to a variety of charities and good causes. To date, more than £85,000 has been raised!
The blue spotted dog can be viewed at Clement’s showroom in Haslemere. You can find out more about the project and view all of the hounds here.

The middle of November saw a very exciting week for our conservation rooflights as they featured in not just one, but two television programmes on Channel 4!
On Wednesday 14th November, The Old Court House in Worcestershire was one of the buildings longlisted in the 2018 series of Grand Designs House of the Year, sponsored by RIBA. The Grade II Listed Building, which is over 400 years old, was virtually derelict when a team, led by architects Harrison Brookes and contractors Speller Metcalfe, commenced their painstaking restoration project. As presenter Kevin McCloud commented, at the outset there were trees growing out of the structure and birds and bats had made it their home. The team needed to employ a broad range of conservation techniques in order to renovate the building and make it suitable for 21st century habitation.
The Clement three range of conservation rooflights in a tile profile were chosen by the architects because their traditional looks were in keeping with the property’s character whilst also meeting the demands of Building Regulations.
On Thursday 15th November, episode three of the third series of George Clarke’s Old House New home featured a beautiful Arts and Crafts property near Birmingham.
The house originally belonged to Gill’s father who had converted it into flats. Now the owners of two of the flats which were on different floors, Gill and Paul wanted to combine the two as well as carry out a side and rear extension to the ground floor flat. George Clarke suggested they expand the landing above the new staircase to incorporate a study area and that they introduce skylights in order to flood the space with light.
The tile roof now boasts two Clement 5 conservation rooflights, which not only look stunning but are also in keeping with the character of the rest of the house.
Clement are thanked for their contribution to the project here.

The level of pollutants and allergens in our homes is increasing, with a long list of factors contributing to the problem, including cooking and heating appliances, paints, solvents, carpets, furniture, cleaning products, electrical appliances, toiletries and pets.
It is commonly accepted that outdoor air pollution is harmful to human health and we know to avoid breathing in toxic car fumes or smoke emitted by industry. However, how many of us are aware that the air we breathe indoors has the potential to be just as harmful? According to the British Lung Foundation, in the UK, we spend about 90% of our time indoors. As modern homes are becoming more energy efficient and securely built, it is often these airtight environments which are increasingly a cause for concern as they trap the allergens and toxins inside.
Fresh air can boost energy levels, aid better sleep, brighten your mood and increase overall health and wellbeing, so what better way to let it in and help in the fight against indoor air pollution than installing a rooflight in your property?
