RAISE THE BAR WITH EXCLUSIVE
INDUSTRY PARTNERSHIP
There are many benefits to installing the Guardian Warm Roof, and in the face of industry
demands, the system is now even more attractive to homeowners and installers with the
announcement of a new exclusive VELUX® partnership...
Over the last few years the industry
has seen pressure from every angle
imaginable. Among homeowners, things
haven’t exactly stayed quiet either. Since 2020
there’s been substantial growth in homeowners
looking to increase their internal space through
moving to a bigger home. The biggest trend,
however, was with 57% of homeowners deciding
to make energy-efficient improvements on their
home.
While personal needs for more space are growing,
homeowners are facing other industry pressures.
A rising energy price-cap is scheduled from the
1st April this year and there are also
regulations for all residential
dwellings – including
improvements on existing
homes – to be zero carbon
ready by 2025 .
As a result, homeowners
are having to navigate
these changes, and are
even more conscious about
finding long-term energy saving
solutions for their homes.
With growing environmental demands on
residential properties and yearly home energy
increases of up to £708, we are all affected.
As a result of these imminent changes you are
probably wondering ‘how will this affect the
future of my business?’.
