How to make the best use of glass in heating your home

Now nowadays glass plays a prominent role in the production of sustainable energy.
Stoves have played a huge in Ireland and England in showing that the burning of renewable fuels like wood and add to the protection of the environment.  Stove glass allows to radiate out into a room making it an efficient source of heating.  Also, replacement stove glass is readily available in the case of breakage.

Another excellent use of glass or a variant of glass is the installation of solar panels.  The roof of your house could be used to save you money. By installing  Solar panels your home can generate clean, green renewable energy from daylight - a free natural resource Solar PV, also called Photovoltaic.  The sun's energy converts daylight into renewable energy. The electricity is then consumed within the home, reducing your need to buy energy from a supplier. When a Solar PV system produces more energy than a home needs, the extra energy can go to your immersion heater. Solar PV is not to be confused with Solar Thermal - while Solar Thermal heats water only, Solar PV gives you free electricity and hot water.


Generally,

a home is allowed up to 12 sq. m of Solar Panels on the roof without having to seek planning permission.

The Day the "Rolling Stones" rolled into Castlemartyr

Nowadays Castlemartyr is a busy morner Irish village sitting comfortably on the side a busy main road. Castlemartyr is a beautiful village 20 minutes drive from Cork City and a 6 miles east of Midleton in the direction of Youghal on main Waterford road  the N25. It is also only 30 minutes drove from Cork airport. Primary roads allows access from Counties Waterford and Limerick.
The Celtic Tiger reached its paws into the village and constructed a number of housing estates. This has brought a new life to Castlemartyr which now hosts many people from different parts of Ireland and the world

In recent years it modern fame was created by outside influences. The very famous and funny Pat Short purchased a pub in the village and established and excellent Gastro eatery of note.

In the past this Castlemartyr pub was owned by the local Barry family. In January 1965 out of the blue the Rolling stones landed in the villages Main Street. They were playing in the Savoy Theatre in Cork and took a break stopping off in Castlemartyr. It is said Cork was their last gig before heading off on their third tour of the US. While in Castlemartyr its reported Mick Jagger, Keith Richards and Brian Jones had a few drinks at Barry’s Bar before they set off again for the city.

Many years later in what was known then as the Carmelite College was purchased by a Cork Development company and it was transformed into a €70 million hotel and golf course. Which included self-catering accommodation which included  excellent lodges and houses.

When opened it was hoped to employ up to 120 people. The Capella Castlemartyr was the original name which later became the Castlemartyr Resort. The house itself is a 17th century manor house set on 220 acres. Which also included the ruins of an 800-year-old castle.

A number of famous historical names are associated with Castlemartyr Manor. It had a number of owners in the past including Walter Raleigh and Richard Boyle. To keep with its historical past one of Castlemartyr Resorts most famous room is the The Knights Bar. It has a fully restored ceiling which has a beautiful featured rococo plasterwork. Great care and attention was paid to the restoration of the Manor House. The KnighThe 18 hole links-style golf course is available to hotel guests and those that use the self-catering accommodation. The course was designed by golf course designer Ron Kirby who also created the Old Head of Kinsale golf course. The self-catering accommodation is located on the old walled garden area. Other self-catering accommodation are located at the main entrance on the Castlemartyr to Ladysbridge road.

On the old Manor grounds there is also an excellent self-catering apartment which is listed as  The Demesnes Castlemartyr.
