The majority of pubs in the UK have canopies in their gardens, and these have become even more important since the smoking ban. A canopy provides shelter from the rain and wind in the winter, and the sunshine in the summer, and it’s becoming a popular addition to many pub gardens throughout the UK.
Many pub canopies are fixed and made of wood, while they tend to include heat lamps, especially during the chillier months. Pubs that serve food can benefit further from canopies, and this is mainly in the warmer months, when the canopies serves the purpose of taking away the chill from the wind, allowing people to enjoy their meals outside without any issues.
Some canopies will be branded to certain pubs, and there are plenty of different styles to choose form, and that means that its relatively easy to decide on a style that suits your pub.
With the increase in cost of gas and electricity around the world, in the UK we there has been a massive push towards effectively insulating homes. The most recent figures indicate that the percentage of homes which have been insulated is around 70%. Now, this shows that there is still a lot of work to do. Especially when you consider that a large proportion of the homes without insulation are owned or rented by poor people and people who live on state retirement funds. This places what many would consider an unconscionable burden on people to who don’t have the expendable income available to keep their homes warm. We have heard, with the lack of insulation and the increase in energy prices, that many retired people are living in an extremely cold environment. We feel that the only achievable solution to this is to supply these people with a cheap supply of insulation, so they are not over burdened by the increasing energy prices.
