type of product used and whether it is sustainable
is now a concern. They now have a much better
understanding of phrases such as ‘whole life
carbon’ and ‘U-value’ and these are now things
consumers will look for.
What are the advantages of the Warm Roof
Pro for Installers?
Speedy installation enables the installer to reduce
fitting costs, drives down time on site and causes
less disruption for the homeowner during the
project. The flat pack makes it so much easier to
transport and handle.
It ticks all the boxes and will be a game-changer
for installers, builders, and roofing companies,
providing them with a product that will help them
differentiate their business from the competition.
What are the colour and finish options?
The system is designed to satisfy the most
demanding conservatory design and has a box
gutter system, which can be elevated if required.
We use Britmet for our tiling requirements, a great
British product produced in Oxfordshire.
The ‘LiteSlate’ composite slate tile comes
currently in seven colours – Slate Grey, Ash, Oak,
Charcoal, Amethyst, Sunshine and Sunset. And
the ‘Shingle’ light weight steel tile currently comes
in nine – Titanium Grey, Bramble Brown, Rustic
Brown, Rustic Terracotta, Moss Green, Tartan
Green, Raven, Rustic Red and Smoked Oak.
We supply roof windows of various sizes to suit
our roof and the customer’s tiling option, using
the ‘Velux’ and ‘ Liteleader’ brands.
We are also about to launch ‘Fenestra’, which is a
full height glass system for those who don’t want
a traditional roof window.

It’s all about giving our customers choice so they
can meet the requirements of the homeowner and
help win more sales.
Eco-Logic is in the process of expanding
operations with an additional two 8,000ft 2
facilities to sit alongside its current factory in
Eynesbury, Saint Neots. What prompted the
expansion plans?
We have always seen expansion as the key to
taking Eco-Logic Roofing System to the next level.
The bigger unit will be used for manufacturing
and the smaller unit for storage and despatch,
while our new machining centre will allow us to
scale up our manufacturing of the Warm Roof Pro.
With our new investment we can offer a more
consistent service to customers.
What impact has coronavirus had on your
operations and product demand?
Like the industry as a whole, Covid-19 stopped us
in our tracks during the first three-month lockdown,
but since then, we have enjoyed record sales.
We have seen a big increase in demand, and we
went from making five roofs a week to 20 roofs
a week. It’s put pressure on operations as you’d
expect, but we have invested in new machinery
and people to accommodate.
How are you dealing with the current supply
chain issues that the industry is experiencing?
Fortunately for us we are outside that window
industry supply chain. The issues have mainly
been around glass and PVC which we are not
buying in, as our roofs are made of timber and
SIP panels so we haven’t been as affected by the
supply chain issues.
Are there any trends you’re currently
recognising in the market and how have you
adapted your offering to meet these?
With people spending more time at home, and
more and more people having to work from home,
home improvements have risen, with singlestorey
extensions and garden rooms particularly
popular. So, it’s exciting news that we will be
launching Warm Roof Pro Buildings very shortly.
What support can you offer installers?
As a supply partner we pride ourselves on
providing our customers with everything they
need, and we realise the importance in providing
training on the Warm Roof Pro to ensure
confidence in installing it.
That’s why training is such a fundamental part
of our day-to-day operations and it’s a key part
of our Warm Roof Pro offering to installers. The
training is offered at our training facility to make
sure all installers are fully equipped and ready
to go.
The Warm Roof Pro is all timber and manufactured
with SIPS for greater thermal efficiency
