GLASS&SEALEDUNITS

A solid response
Specialist toughened glass manufacturer,
TuffX Processed Glass, is launching
a new product that will give
conservatory roof installers a more
cost effective alternative to the solid
tiled conservatory roof replacement.
»»CALLED AMBI-SOLID,
the new solid glass roof system
is lighter, quicker and easier to
install than traditional solid tile
effect roofs.
Graham Price, TuffX’s
managing director, explains,
“There has been an explosion in
solid tile effect roofs to satisfy

the dilemma of a conservatory
being too cold in winter and
too warm in summer. But while
this option is fine for some, a
conservatory is sold as a light and
airy light-filled space and a solid
tiled effect roof will not only
make the conservatory a darker
space, but it can reduce light to

adjoining rooms too. With AmbiSolid you now have the option of
a solid glass panel solution that
eliminates the too hot, too cold
dilemma but without loss of light.
In short, with Ambi-Solid you
have the best of both worlds.”

The Ambi-Solid Glass is a
24mm double-glazed unit that
can be used in all or part of the
roof, offering total flexibility for
the customer.
