CONSERVATORIES

New Lean To Offering

This new version of the WARMroof product from Prefix Systems has been developed using a steel formed panel to provide the aesthetics of a zinc roof , making for a modern and contemporary appearance .
»»
THE INNOVATIVE SECRET FIX standing seam roof material delivers excellent aesthetics , performance and eco-credentials and is being increasingly specified on both new build residential and refurbishment projects . One of the most prominent WARMroof installations was carried out by longstanding customer , Artisan Conservatories & Windows in North Wales .
In this case study , the lean-to was designed to replicate the pitch of the existing stone cottage with a grey WARMroof incorporating two Velux rooflights , while the windows ,
doors and guttering were specified in golden oak . The raked frame has also allowed for additional light and the vaulted ceiling has really helped create a true sense of space .
Chris Baron , co-director of Prefix Systems concluded : ‘ WARMroof is the best performing solid roof in the market and the
new contemporary lean to offering down to 5 degrees is another USP for our customers . Product innovation is now very much part of the Prefix DNA , along with exemplary levels of customer care .’
