Stylish Windows for Stylish Homeowners

It seems that you cannot watch TV, listen to the radio or read a paper, without being told how important it is for your homes to have 'kerb appeal'.
 
Other than focusing on the garden it can feel that the choice available to make a difference to the exterior of your home is somewhat limited - until now!

Red, Green, White or Blue - Whatever the colour - it's up to you!

At Mitchells we pride ourselves on offering the best choice when it comes to conservatories, windows and doors.  And when it comes to doors we really excel.  Just take a look at what's on offer, it's a colour wheel of choice.  So no matter what you are looking for, be it wood grain, red, green, white, blue, we can supply and fit any door, just for you!
 

Red, white or blue doors all available!

We also have a wide range of accessories for you to add a personal touch to your new door.  And as all our doors are  manufactured using an advanced technology, this means that they will not bow, warp or crack.  All they require to look good is a wipe with a damp cloth!

Conservatory Building on a Whole New Level

 
 
At Mitchells we love a challenge, and challenged we were recently by a customer in Selkirk.

Wanting to make the most of his first floor lounge, he asked Mitchells to design a conservatory which would enable him to make use of the space above his workshop and allow him to enjoy the beautiful views of the hills beyond.

We are sure you will agree the results are stunning.  The Rosewood conservatory and decking area are a beautiful addition to the house, and it is practical too, with tilt'n'turn windows for easy cleaning and an easy-clean heat-reflective glass roof to make the most of the light and reduce noise from the road.

spectacular views from it.

Festive step back in time for Mitchells
 
 
The Christmas night out really gives the opportunity to chat to about the years gone by and to think about what the future may hold.

The staff from Mitchell Glass took their "retrospective look" a stage further this year when they held their night out at Quins in Market Street, Galashiels, as this was the location of their site when they opened their first large premises in Galashiels in 1960!

Mitchells in Market St in times gone by

A few of the current staff have been with the company so long that they can remember what it was like to work in the Market Street shop, with the fancy goods for sale and the paraffin stove "through the back" to heat up the pies.

Window manufacturing was a new venture at that time, and the windows were made upstairs, in what is now a Chinese restaurant.

Pictured above are Mitchells fitter Toby; Steve & Sylvia, owners of Quins; and Steve Scott, who started as an apprentice in 1978 in the Market Street building!
 
For Kevin Mania, Mitchells Installation Manager, it is a case of "keeping it all in the family," as his son now works at Quins!

Focus on.....Roof Lining
 



Roof lining
If you are looking for a quick fix to improve the look of the exterior of your home, re-newing your roof line could be the ideal option.  Just like the icing on a cake, the roof lining of your home is the subtle touch that really makes the difference.

Mitchell Glass not only supply the best in quality double glazing and conservatories, but we also offer out customers fantastic service for up-grading all roof lining, fascias and soffits. 
 
 
 
 
 
The house pictured below had the roof linings completed before building the conservatory, to avoid the future need for complicated maintenance and upkeep above a glass roof.

Roof lining

Visit our showcentre in Currie Road, Galashiels to see the fantastic range on offer for white, coloured and wood grain roof linings.  These can be installed quickly and easily and you will never need to paint again!
