Therefore, Hawthorns designed and fitted a 15m by 7m rectangular Edwardian conservatory, with a
Victorian bay attached to the front. The conservatory base is constructed utilising natural stone in
keeping with the style of the South Lodge and the conservatory utilises K2’s stylish Aspire system,
which is manufactured for use with 35mm polycarbonate roofing glazing, 40% thicker than ordinary
polycarbonate and offers reduced heat loss and increased sound insulation.

The K2 Aspire system was supplied to Hawthorns Windows by Scarborough based SWC,
a key K2 dealer which has been established since 1989.

Alfie Hawthorns comments: ‘We were really excited by the challenge of designing this installation, as
it was necessary to integrate the new conservatory with the structure and surroundings of a traditional
style of building. We decided to fit an elongated Edwardian style of conservatory, which adds light & space
to the existing building, as well as maintaining the traditional style and atmosphere of the South Lodge.’

Sally Fielding, Managing Director of K2 comments: ‘K2 would like to congratulate Hawthorns on its
innovative and stylish design for the South Lodge. The Aspire system is specifically designed to
optimise flexibility of conservatory design and specification, and is suitable for use in a wide variety
of installations and we are delighted that we were able to be involved in this bespoke installation.’
