CONSERVATORIES&ROOFS
The Perfect View
» » LEADING GLASS
manufacturer TuffX is always
exceeding expectations when it
comes to their ambience roof glass
range. They take the initiative by
having an extensive, impressive
and broad range of colours and
specifications for conservatory
roof glass. This allows their clients
to give their customers exactly
what they want without any
hassle.
Recently, one of their
clients based in Denby Dale,
Huddersfield ordered 14 panels
of their Ambi-Aqua Self-Cleaning
glass. The client explained that
they needed the most efficient
glass they stock. This had to be
not too strong in colour, yet had
the properties to reflect the suns
heat in the summer and keep it
warmer in the winter. Graham
Price, Director at TuffX said,
“Our Ambi-Aqua glass is the
perfect choice for conservatory
roof glass. It is a superior glass
roof product in the Ambience
range with exceptional heat
reflection capabilities. In respect of
innovation and style, Ambi-aqua is
the most modern and reliable glass
roof option that can offer year
round surroundings to live in.”
The clients are extremely pleased
with their new glass roof, having
said, “We are very happy with the
outcome of the roof. We had never
thought to convert the roof into
glass until our friend had theirs
done and we saw the benefits. The
colour of the glass is a perfect slight
aqua tint which is what we wanted.
We are so pleased to be able to use
our conservatory all year round.”
The Ambi-Aqua glass is a high
performing glass which reflects
82% of the sun’s heat, reducing
the internal temperature of a
conservatory, particularly with
a south facing aspect, by up to
9°C during the hottest summer
months. It has a U-Value as low as
1.0 and comes with self-cleaning
properties. It also provides greater
glare reduction, thanks to its
visually stunning aqua tint. TuffX
offer a nationwide delivery service
on any given day and can be
delivered to factory or site.
The Ambience range is now well
established as a market leading
brand that provides customers
with the broadest choice of high
performance glass, in a wide variety
of colours to suit both domestic
and commercial applications. The
Ambi Aqua is available now up to
4000mm in length.

New Fixed Roof Light for Solid Roof
» » SYNSEAL GROUP HAS
launched a new fixed roof light for
their Celsius Solid Roof, which
uses a stepped glass structure and
WarmCore technology maximise
light and offer excellent thermal
performance.
WarmCore products use a
unique multi-chambered thermal
core which provides 25%
more thermal efficiency than
standard aluminium window
and door systems. Combining
this technology with 6mm outer
and 4mm inner toughened glass,
the new WarmCore Fixed Roof
Light offers impressive U-values of
around 1.4.
The stepped glass structure
covers the whole area of the
window, right up to the subtle
ceramic edge which sits flush to
the roof, to create an incredibly
clean looking finished product.
This fully glazed design approach
means the product has 41%
increased visible glass area
compared to the equivalent sized
market leader in roof lights.
The new fixed light comes in
three sizes - 630mm x 700mm,
630mm x 1200mm and an
impressive 630mm x 1700mm
– and has been designed to be
easy to integrate into the Celsius
Solid Roof. It comes in white and
anthracite grey internal colours
with a black exterior, and a
discreet black flashing kit that is
barely noticeable from an external
viewpoint.
Andy Jones, Group Sales and
Marketing Director, said: “As
the solid roof market continues

to grow we wanted to bring
to market a high performance
fixed roof light which can help
our customers to increase their
margins and add more value to
their roof sales.
“Following the huge success
of our WarmCore window and
door systems, it made complete
sense to utilise this technology to
design the new fixed light so our
customers know they are getting
exceptional thermal performance
as standard.
“The market place for fixed
roof lights which can be easily
incorporated into tiled roofs is
very restricted, so we wanted to
design a product which would be
really straightforward to install
and which offers maximum
natural light and a clean looking
finish.
“Feedback from our customers
shows that the majority
