conservatoryextra BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY FROM roof2roof Installers looking for a new business opportunity in the North or Midlands may want to check out the Supalite tiled conservatory roof system, a brand from Absolute Window Co, one of the North West’s premier trade suppliers. The Manchester-based company, which has been established for more than 30 years, manufactures the Supalite system under licence – and it is getting rave reviews from both the trade and consumers. The reason for its success is not hard to fathom: this quality, structural system addresses the issue of temperature stability transforming an under-used conservatory to a virtual home extension that is fully usable all year round. Homeowners looking to improve their existing conservatories could benefit greatly from the installation of a Supalite tiled roof system, providing installers with some strong sales potential: the product is energyefficient – which is top of people’s list these days – having an impressive U value of 0.18. ‘The tiles also come with a 40 year manufacturer’s guarantee’ The tiles also come with a 40 year manufacturer’s guarantee and no maintenance is needed after installation and because of the insulation properties, the problems of condensation have been solved by the Supalite system. As a quality product, the system is not cheap but does offer an excellent way for homeowners to upgrade their existing conservatory for all year round multiple use, and is a far less costly and disruptive project than a traditional home extension. And cost savings from heat loss could be improved still further when householders opt to replace their existing conservatory glazing with the latest energy efficient glass. As you would expect from a business that has been serving the trade for so long, roof2roof offers a full back-up service as well as training and demos to support the installer as much as possible. Spring is almost here, and people will be thinking about home improvements to enhance their homes for summer.

Ultraframe launches Loggia Prestige to broader market appeal Ultraframe has launched Loggia Prestige as an entry level Loggia designed to support network partners in appealing to budgetconscious homeowners looking for extra living space they can use all year round, regardless of the outside temperature. The Loggia Prestige ‘package’ combines two narrow Loggia columns, Prestige insulating pelmet and LivinLight, which combined address the three main heat loss areas of a standard conservatory. Ultraframe commercial director Joe Martoccia explains why Loggia Prestige is an easy sell: “Loggia has been in the market for almost two years and it really is the system that redefined what this industry should be all about – creating beautiful, thermally efficient spaces that utilise the very latest building technologies – it’s great testament that the 64 MAR 2014 industry has picked up on our terminology of ‘redefining’ the conservatory. But what the last two years has taught us is that Loggia is an instant hit for homeowners looking for the grand extension, when in reality, Loggia can be designed to meet most budgets. “Loggia Prestige really supports our network partners in ‘upselling’ from the standard conservatory and will really appeal to homeowners looking for improved thermal performance, year-round usability and more of a ‘real room’ feel at real value for money. The price point is so competitive because we’ve developed two new components – the Prestige insulating pelmet and LivinLight – that when combined with just two narrow Loggia columns, home owners can still enjoy a 30% reduction on their heating bill when compared to heating a standard conservatory. External aesthetics are improved with the addition of a Prestige cornice which not only provides a neat solution to the integration of Loggia columns but hides what can be unsightly rainwater goods. “We need to get the message across that Loggia is affordable – if someone has taken the step to have a conservatory – then for a relatively small price uplift they can have a Loggia or if they are looking to upgrade their old conservatory then Loggia Prestige may well be the perfect fit – who wouldn’t chose that?” To read more, visit www.clearview-uk.com
