A MINI ROOM WITH BIG POTENTIAL
'ADD VALUE TO
YOUR PORTFOLIO'
Leka Systems has launched its new ecotech
roofing system giving fabricators and
installers even more opportunities to add
value to their portfolio.
The Leka ecotech roof is said to be one of the
most technologically advanced roofing systems
on the market, achieving 0.15w/m 2 k whilst being
economic in the process.
Commenting on the new product introduction,
Rhys Hoddinott, Managing Director of Leka
Systems, said: “Our new Leka ecotech roofing
system ensures compliance for installers but just
as importantly maintains a competitive pricing
point in the process.
“The new ecotech roof is thermally efficient by
design and is a further extension of our popular
Leka Warm Roof, Leka Orangery and Leka xi roofing
products, but at a more competitive pricing point.”
He added: “The conservatory roof market is
changing rapidly and fabricators need to ensure
they’re offering the products that installers need to
compete in the new landscape.
“The changes to Part L of Building Regulations
covering thermal efficiency have had a huge impact
on many solid roof manufacturers, and it has never
been more important for fabricators and installers
to offer the best in energy-compliant products.
“And with the rise in energy prices, more
consumers will be looking at ways to improve
the thermal efficiency of their conservatories and
extensions too.”
This shift is said to form part of the recent home
improvement boom, with many homeowners either
extending their properties or repurposing existing
conservatory extensions.
Making Your Space has
launched Mini-Room, a
showroom sample of its
Garden Room system that’s
been designed to make
installation quick and easy
thanks to the adoption of the
latest off-site construction
techniques.
The Mini-Rooms can be
customised in terms of
finish and detail and are
ready to order now as part
of an integrated marketing
support programme, and
they are also portable too, for use on multi-site
events, local shows and even to take on-site for
consumer enquiries.
Ryan Crossley, Director of Making Your Space
,has been pleased with the introduction of
this latest sales tool and commented: “The
introduction of the Mini-Room helps our Design
Partners who don’t currently
have a showsite. “Along
with the unique configurator
developed by The Consultancy,
we have everything marketingwise
to help generate and
close sales of garden rooms,
which are expected to grow
strongly this year according to
consumer experts.”
He added: “We’re the only
nationwide garden room
company that is dedicated to
the trade, making premium,
flat packed garden rooms
that can be easily assembled in just a few days.
“With home and hybrid working now the norm,
it’s the perfect revenue stream using existing
skills for installers and we’re keen to build our
nationwide network of Design Partners with the
promise of our proven marketing programme.”

ILITE SHINES BRIGHT FOR SUPALITE
Preston-based tiled roof specialist SupaLite
has added a flat roof orangery system to its
existing portfolio of products.
It has been designed and specially
manufactured to be one of the strongest, most
thermally efficient and quickest to install flat
roof orangery systems, and the ILite is perfect
for both the new build or retrofit market.
Factory fabricated in the UK, its design has
reportedly been successfully engineered with ease and durability in mind.
The system is also said to exceed Building Regulation requirements by offering an impressive
U-value of 013w/m 2 K as standard, meaning it outperforms most competitor roof systems and
traditional orangery constructions.
Wes Clarkson, Sales Director of SupaLite, said: “We’re incredibly proud to launch this exciting
new addition to our portfolio of products, and it is already generating lots of interest amongst our
customers. We wanted to make a flat roof orangery system unlike anything else on the market that
was easy to install, but still maintained our renowned levels of strength and thermal performance.
“Unlike conventional flat roof orangeries that can take days, sometimes weeks to construct and
complete, the ILite system saves huge amounts of time for installers and can be built in hours.”
