its cutting-edge LuxLite pitched
rooflight, Leicester roofline
specialist Roof Maker has added
another best-in-class product to
its range.
Taking the same style, quality
and thermal excellence that
characterises its existing portfolio
and applying it to a bold new
shape, O-Lite is a striking
circular rooflight. Minimalistic
aluminium frames give it a
sleek, contemporary look, and
maximise the intake of natural
light.
O-Lite is triple-glazed as
standard for superior noise
reduction and thermal efficiency,
offering glass U-values as low
as 0.6, while the Super Spacer
it incorporates enhances
sound reduction and energy
performance even further.
What’s more, the product
has been engineered for quick
installation, complete with
upstand, and easy maintenance,
requiring minimal parts and tools
to fit, and boasting marine-
grade coated aluminium frames
for maximum robustness and
security.
Scott Nicholas, Roof Maker
Chief Design Officer, comments:
“O-Lite has all the hallmarks of a
Roof Maker product – stunning
looks, outstanding design, and
industry-leading performance,
backed up by a 20-year guarantee.
It adds even more variety to our
offering at a time when the key to
success is maximising customer
choice, and arms installers with
another fantastic product to win
over discerning end users.”
O-Lite joins a host of other
premium quality products in
Roof Maker’s extensive range. The
company’s fixed flat roof lights are
respected throughout the industry
for their minimalist elegance and
fantastic all-round performance.
Triple-glazed, Argon-filled glass
units offer outstanding thermal
efficiency, while the low-E
insulation glass itself can be
delivered in subtle blue or bronze
glare-reducing tints as well as
clear.

Defying Market Trends

is defying the stagnation felt widely across the
home improvement market, by kick-starting
the first quarter of 2017 with record order
levels from its retail network.
The period January to April of this year has
seen the Wakefield-based fabricator achieve
an average 15% increase in orders from its
network members against the same period last

year, with this positive trend set to continue
throughout the remainder of the year.
Michael Giscombe, MD at Conservatory
Outlet Limited, explains: “We’re really pleased
at the strong performance we’ve achieved in
the early part of this year, and despite market
trends this doesn’t show any sign of slowing
down.
“Our success is down to a combination of
attributes exclusive to our network: our ability
to share best practice amongst our close-nit
family of retailers, combined with top quality
products, and of course the hard work and
dedication of each network member. With
three new showrooms set to have opened by
Summer 2017, featuring some of the most
innovative products on the market, our unique
business model is definitely bucking the
trend.”
Recent reports from AMA Research
estimate that the conservatory and glazed
extensions market increased by just 3%
in 2016. Although value growth has been
relatively strong, volume growth is less
buoyant with only a 1-2% increase in the past
two years, and only modest volume increases
currently forecast to 2020.
The market is said to be defined by modern
product features, including superior thermal
efficiency, high specification self-cleaning
glass, coloured frames and bi-folding doors.
Companies that have kept pace to offer
innovative, higher specification products and
conservatory ranges are typically faring better
than the rest of the market.
This is a concept that Conservatory Outlet
stands by, constantly striving to offer its
network of retail partners and ever-expanding
and market-leading product portfolio.
Michael concludes: “We’re now gearing up
for the next phase of our sustained growth
strategy - including the introduction of more
innovative products, cutting edge technology,
and of course new network partners in
untapped areas. Watch this space!”
