A rising star
» » THE KORNICHE ROOF LANTERN
continues to make a big impact on the
aluminium lantern market. Over the last
year every month has seen Korniche sales
grow steadily as new customers are getting on
board, but after a big marketing push in the
summer the last three months have seen sales
rise by an amazing 100%.
The Korniche is winning hearts
and minds of the nation’s builders,
roofers and installers who are all singing
the praises of the lantern’s ease and speed
of fit. The simple step by step process was
carefully designed to ensure that anyone with
any experience level can follow it and all in
record time. This time saving can not only

product from the drawing board. No other

look and the finishing details to the product
means the Korniche has very high consumer
appeal – it’s the perfect package”
Made for Trade provide full support for
the Korniche and are currently rolling out
training and product information days
for installers, builders and trade counter
customers.
Ian Bousfield, Marketing Manager at
Made for Trade says “It’s important that
Korniche is understood and stands at
the top of the industry as a brand. The
product has huge appeal to those who are
climbing ladders and scaffolds day after
day to install. Equally the Korniche speaks
to the consumer, who will appreciate the
internal and external slim aesthetics and
enjoy warmth, security and light in their
new home extensions. Installers who have
fitted the Korniche are blown away with
the quality, strength and efficiency of the
