January 2024

Updates
Prefix Systems believes that 2024 will be the year in which diligent installation companies will
move over to solid roof solutions that are 100% ‘warm’ by design.
A ‘warm roof’ by definition is one where the insulation sits above the rafters and not just in between.
Chris Cooke, director of Prefix Systems, said: “Ask your current solid roof supplier if their insulation sits
above the rafters, if it’s a no, then it is not a warm-roof – it’s a cold roof. Furthermore, you’re at risk by
installing such products in terms of remedials and importantly the risk of losing out on future referral
sales. Warm roof design ensures roofs perform not just in terms of years, but for decades.
“Our award-winning WARMroof solution is part of a permanent solution to the home, much in the same
way that a Building Inspector would prefer to see a warm roof constructed extension, and it’s a must that
we should as an industry think in the same way.” www.prefixsystems.co.uk

PREFIX HAILS 2024 'THE YEAR FOR WARM ROOF DESIGN'
GENERATE LEADS WITH PST
Production Software Technology (PST), a leading provider of software solutions for the glazing
industry, has launched a new lead generation tool to help conservatory installers gain valuable
insights into customer engagement and trending products.
The new tool works in conjunction with vsHome AR, PST’s software solution that allows installers to
share product designs with customers to view in augmented reality as either a life size representation on
the side of their home, or as a tabletop view through their smartphone or tablet.
MD Neil Travers said: “By combining our vsHome AR app with the lead capture feature, installers can
not only generate new leads, but also provide a personalised experience for potential customers. We believe that this tool will truly revolutionise how
installers connect with their target audience and ultimately drive business growth.” www.pstonline.co.uk
SALES OF LEKA XI UP 20% IN 2023
Leka Systems has announced that sales of its innovative modular conservatory system, the
Leka Xi, were up 20% in 2023.
Rhys Hoddinott, MD of Leka Systems, said: “As this sales increase shows, the Leka Xi brings huge
added value to homeowners – and to fabricators’ and installers’ portfolios.”
The Leka Xi is a quick to install, thermally efficient alternative to a traditional block or brick-built
conservatory base or wall. It consists of highly engineered, pre-fabricated modular sections that are typically
installed on concrete pads or ground screws in a matter of days, offering significant time savings and
minimising disruption. The modular sections also make the product ideal for homeowners with limited or no
rear property access because it can be carried through in individual pieces. www.lekasystems.co.uk
NEW BLIND 'ATTRACTIVE OPTION' FOR ROOF GLAZING
Key additions to the Morley Glass range in 2023
included an integral blind for flat glass rooflights
With a host of new products launched, multiple award wins and a busy FIT Show behind it, Morley
Glass says it has not only strengthened its position as the UK’s market leader in integral blind
systems, but developed strong foundations for a successful 2024.
Over the past 12 months, the company has brought a variety of new integral blind products to the UK
market, unlocking ‘valuable new market potential for installers’. Most notable of these was a new integral
blind for flat glass rooflights, a high-quality pleated blackout blind with motorised operation encapsulated
within a high performance double glazed unit. Morley reports that this is already providing installers with
an ‘attractive option’ for homeowners who are looking to complete their new roof glazing installation,
particularly where properties are overlooked. www.morleyglass.co.uk
