Business profile:

This business was launched in 1999 and is at the top end of conservatory roof manufacturing and is leading the way in conservatory roof design, it offers a one-stop shop for all conservatory-roofing needs.

The business is preferred by a large number of professional glazed roof specifiers and installers based across the UK, it suits all possible installation variables requiring an attractive and durable solution.

The roofing system has been developed to suit all possible installation types, from the smallest conservatory to those structures requiring a portal frame, the system provides the best possible look together with the reassurance of its superior strength and security features.

Since inception the business has worked continually to make a distinctive improvement to the whole character of clear glazed roof construction resulting, in the business now providing the best roofing products on the market.

Fabricators that use this business are able to purchase all roof components from one source which include Victorian, Edwardian, Standard Roof, Low pitch lean to, Controlite, roof vents, poly packs, pre pack self support bars, ceiling fans and clear poly sealed units. All of these products are very competitively priced with guaranteed availability and delivery.

Like any central purchasing and buying power, fabricators form an important part of the equation. This convenience and cost saving gives the fabricator a great sellers advantage over their competitors. Customers do not experience the frustration and loss that can be caused by uncompleted orders.

The business has recently launched a revolutionary new system that is suitable for Victorian and Edwardian conservatories. This new system of electrically operated integral blinds is becoming a market leader in its field, eliminating the need for the retro fitting of expensive blinds, which most conservatory owners ultimately have to consider.

The blinds are an integral part of the poly sheet and are completely maintenance free. By being an integral part of the poly sheet these blinds reflect the solar rays before they penetrate through the poly sheets, thus controlling the solar gain build up in the conservatory. Extra ventilation is normally required with conventional blinds to extract the heat build up in the roof.

Engineered for speedy and efficient installation and an almost maintenance free finish, customers can choose from a variety of solutions that suit the shape and style they require
