MAKE A REAL DIFFERENCE
Justin Williams, International Sales and Marketing Director, at trade fabricator Modplan, is on a mission to
raise awareness when it comes to conservatory roofs.
He says: “The LEKA Warm Roof and the LEKA Orangery Roof are the standout exceptions in a market where
consumers think all warm room replacement systems are the same. Our LEKA roof options give installers the ability
LEKA says its roofs are up to 40% lighter than
to create real roof differentiation and offer the consumer something very different instead of the usual me-too other replacement roofs on the market.
offering when it comes to replacements.” Justin continued: “Most homeowners didn’t actually install their
conservatory. It came with a house they bought. They aren’t precious about it and at some point, they’ll want to change the way it looks or tackle the fact it
isn’t a year-round room. LEKA products provide a solution in a clean, contemporary way that other warm roof systems simply can’t match.”
Justin gives the example of a typical Victorian conservatory: “Many of today’s homeowners view a traditional Victorian conservatory as old-fashioned. With a
new LEKA Orangery Roof it’s simple to transform it into a light-filled, warm and contemporary room. There’s no need to replace dwarf walls or the existing
footprint. Instead, for example, they can build a large floating flat roof with a 500mm overhang over the frame underneath it and add a lantern rooflight with
large glass frames 3m from the ground.” www.modplan.co.uk
SKYPOD BLACK EDITION LAUNCHED
Eurocell has added to its lantern roof range with its new flagship Skypod Black Edition.
The Black Edition is available in square, two-bar and
three-bar configurations, all with 20º pitch, and five
self-cleaning glass colour options.
The latest Skypod features a premium all-matt black external frame, adding to the range of six
architectural colours already available. Aluminium ridge and rafter top caps offer exceptional
weather performance and UV stability, which historically have been particular challenges with black
roofing products. The result is a sleek, modern rooflight design that’s sure to be hugely popular with
style-conscious customers looking to bring more natural light into their flat roof extension or garage
conversion. www.eurocell.co.uk
BLUE SKY THINKING FOR PROJECTS
Roof Maker has extended its range of rooflights with the launch of a new Abutment Rooflight.
The Abutment Rooflight from Roof Maker is the ideal
solution for period properties that have aged or imperfect
finishes to the brick work, which previously proved
difficult for contractors to achieve a perfect installation.
Offering an innovative solution for roof glazing that runs up against the wall, their newest product
will provide architects the highest standard of performance and installers a quick and easy fit.
Designed to enable natural light to flow into the inner areas of a house that can be left dark when an
extension is added, Roof Maker’s new Abutment Rooflight can be installed seamlessly against walls
at a pitch of 5 to 15º, eliminating the requirement for a gap between the wall and rooflight.
