50 JANUARY 2016 PRO INSTALLER PRO PRODUCTS www.proinstaller.co.uk No Longer in the Closet When fire safety consultant, Ian Copstick decided that enough was enough after seeing his home office space deteriorate rapidly because of his wife’s ever growing clothing closet, he decided to investigate the world of garden rooms. Ian, a retired fire-fighter set up his business, IMC Fire Consultancy Limited six years ago, offering private firms consultancy on general fire safety of public areas and buildings. He had been working out of the family homes’ spare bedroom for several years. However, after the introduction of ‘bedroom tax’ back in 2013, and his spouse’s announcement that she needed more wardrobe space for her ever growing wardrobe, Ian took steps to visit a few local companies who supplied outside garden rooms. At the same time, a good friend of the couple was having a Supalite solid roof fitted by Manchester based Absolute Window Co, through its branded Roof2Roof division, and recommended Ian speak to the company after being extremely pleased with the level of service he had experienced from the company and his own home improvement. Absolute Window surveyed Ian’s garden, and within days had designed the garden room exactly to Ian’s needs, then took only 5 days to install the luxury, insulated room. Ian comments: “The garden room is an ideal sanctuary for me and my business now, with all my needs catered for in the bespoke designed building. Considering how long it would have taken to build an extension on our home, planning permission and then the build itself, my new luxury garden room is an ideal and more cost effective all-round solution.” Absolute Window recently launched its new range of ‘Luxury Garden Rooms’ to its existing installer network, sharing the benefits of installing the rooms into homeowner’s homes. James Dance, Absolute Window Co managing director commented: “These bespoke designed rooms can be installed into almost any garden space, without the hassle of applying for planning approval. They are made from quality PVCu cladding and fitted with high security windows and doors, a lightweight tiled roofing and guttering. “Being versatile in design, low maintenance, secure and insulated for additional warmth, end-users looking for a summerhouse, studio or just additional room to spend time away from the house will find our Luxury Garden Rooms the perfect solution.” For more information contact sales@ absolutewindowco.co.uk, call 0161 793 116 or visit www.absolutewindowco.co.uk Solid Gear and Toe Guard the new Safety Shoes Brands With a premium product portfolio that already includes tools and work wear in the form of the Hultafors and Snickers brands, the Hultafors Group is now launching a top quality range of safety shoes for the UK market.
