Roof System sees sales soaring
»»
IT ’ S BEEN OVER A YEAR NOW SINCE Synseal Group previewed their fully thermally broken lantern roof system , Stratus , at the FIT Show 2016 and sales are soaring with the equivalent of a new customer signing up every week .
Stratus has seen incredible growth in its first nine months , setting it up for a very successful first year despite being launched at a traditionally quiet time of year back in September 2016 . This is no surprise to the innovators behind the purpose-designed aluminium lantern roof . With a fully thermally broken system , Stratus provides up to 65 % more thermal efficiency than conventional aluminium roof systems and has been designed with discreet cappings , a 66 % smaller ridge and 20 ° pitch for an incredibly clean , modern look .
Designed from the ground up around an innovative thermally broken system , it provides excellent thermal performance .
Stratus is available in traditional two-way and three-way compositions , but also boasts a contemporary range which supports the ridge solely on the hip rafters for a minimal appearance . Available in sizes up to 3m x 6m , Stratus is a simple yet valuable way to add more light and space while keeping heating bills low , making it an easy sell to renovating homeowners .
Andy Jones , Sales and Marketing Director at Synseal Group , said :
“ Following the success of our WarmCore aluminium system over the past couple of years , we noticed another gap in the market for a fully thermally broken lantern roof system which combines thermal performance with sleek , aluminium style .
“ Stratus has filled that gap , offering our customers an innovative , cost-effective roof solution which adds lots of light , looks great and is really easy to fabricate and install .
“ It ’ s come as no surprise to us that customer response has been so positive and we ’ ve already set up more than half of our roof fabricators to sell Stratus . We are confident they are going to see sales surge this summer as more consumers want to take advantage of natural light solutions to add value to their homes .”

PREMIER ROOF SYSTEMS IS responding to growing demand for aluminium roof lanterns and recently started supplying the Korniche – the ‘ next generation ’ of thermally broken roof lanterns from Made for Trade .
Premier Roof Systems co-founder and director Jamie Blackwood said : “ We have increasingly been approached about full aluminium systems and were looking at what system to take on board . We already had a good relationship with Made for Trade and knew that the Korniche was one of the newest lanterns so we went up for a demo . It definitely ticks all the boxes - we have sold 20 of them in about a month .”
Jamie added that there was rising demand for solid roofs as well as Skypods ( Premier Roof Systems sells about 40 Skypods per month ). “ People are going down the route of improving their properties - some are even putting a solid roof on conservatories they built 15 to 20 years ago . Those who do move into new homes are looking for extensions with bifolds and roof lanterns .”
Premier Roof Systems , which is South Tyneside ’ s only Guardian Warm Roof manufacturer , has grown substantially since it was founded in 2011 . Last year , it invested in a new factory enabling the business to increase productivity .
The company has also taken on a new business development manager , Kristen Glenn . Jamie said : “ Kristen has a lot of experience in sales and has worked for companies like Eurocell and GAP . His hardworking yet relaxed style fits in well with our team .” Among Kristen ’ s first tasks are building up the customer base for the Guardian roof and promoting all our products to new trade businesses . Marketing manager –
Pouya Bostani is also improving the point of sale materials and promoting the Korniche on the company ’ s website .
Premier Roof Systems specialises in all types of conservatory roofing projects and has a reputation built on reliability and a high level of quality . Solid conservatory roofs are just one of the many products it offers along with roof lanterns , roof windows , windows and doors and composite and aluminium framed glazing . Among products in the range is the Skypod from Eurocell . This slim line roof light is a versatile and innovative system of pitched skylights for flat roofs , combining contemporary looks with exceptional build quality . Skypod has proven a popular product within Premier Roof Systems ’ range and has attracted interest from building firms and architects .
Jamie added : “ Things are going in the right direction for us , with our name really getting out there . Now we have the right infrastructure to take it to the next level .”
