Installers seize lantern sector growth
Atlas Glazed Roof Solutions
is helping its network of
installers to take advantage
of the rapidly growing lantern sector with an extended
range of ultra-slim contemporary lanterns.
The company says the collection
of four-pane lanterns - now available in sizes up to 3000 x 1500mm
- is paving the way for installers as
market demand for larger contemporary lanterns intensifies.
Gareth Thomas, Sales and Marketing Director at Atlas Glazed
Roof Solutions, said: “This year,
the lantern has become one of
the fastest-growing sectors in our
industry and we wanted to help installers tap into its huge potential.
Although there are several lanterns
on the market now, the appearance, performance and stock availability of them can vary widely.
“We believe that our slim-line
contemporary lantern is the best
in the market, and judging by the
response from the crowds who saw
it at The FIT Show, our customers
do too. Carrying all the trademark
internal and external aesthetics
of an Atlas roof, it brings light in
abundance, helping to re-fashion
rooms that were once starved of
light into incredible spaces with
acres of sky above.”
Bringing ‘more sky, 25% less
roof,’ this fully aluminium, thermally broken system features the
slimmest sightlines in the industry,
says Atlas. Comparative tests reveal
that the Atlas contemporary lantern
features a 60% slimmer ridge and
38% slimmer hip internally and an
external ridge and hip, which is
more than 50% slimmer than alternative aluminium lanterns.
The roof has been created with
both internal and external aesthetics in mind. Internally, the
subtle profile, which is 25% less
bulky than rival systems when
seen from below, accentuates the
views above. From the outside,
the lantern has far lower external
sightlines than bulkier alternative
systems. The lantern has been
carefully designed to be perfectly
proportioned too with the internal
ridge, transom rafters and hips the
same 40mm width and appearance
for a sleek, cohesive look. And unlike some alternative systems, there
are no bosses or hoods to intrude
on the roof’s slim-line ridge.
In spite of its extensive glazing,
the lantern delivers outstanding
strength, thermal performance and
wind pressure resistance. The roof
is a secure pressure-plated system;
more robust than conventional clipin systems which can be swiftly
removed by intruders.
The lantern is fitter-friendly and
can typically be installed in a few
hours without the need for push
in bungs or excess silicone at the
connections. The roof comes with
solar neutral active or solar blue
active toughened glass on the
outside and low-e glass on the
inside as standard. It is available as
standard in grey, black, white, grey
on white and black on white and
in five stock sizes plus bespoke
sizes to order.

DOORS AND
WINDOWS
BRIGHTEN
UP RESORT
An installation by Daniel
Wagg Doors & Windows is
the latest of eye-catching
refurbishments at Searles
Leisure Resort in Hunstanton, Norfolk. The venue has
been offering holidays on
the coast of ‘Sunny Hunny’
for over 80 years.
Glazerite customer and VEKA
approved installer Daniel Wagg
was commissioned to replace the
old entrance doors overlooking
the swimming pool area in the
resort’s restaurant, with a set of
stylish rosewood arched French
doors, including panic bars and
an external handle.
The new doors, fabricated by
Glazerite in VEKA Matrix 70FS
profile, are not just more aesthetically pleasing and energy efficient, but have been designed to
match a number of other recent
Glazerite manufactured window
and door installations by Daniel
Wagg at the holiday park.
A spokesperson from Searles
Leisure Resort, said: “We’re absolutely thrilled with the new doors.
They’ve made a huge difference
to the look and feel of the restaurant and swimming pool area.
“We’ve commissioned Daniel
Wagg to replace a number of our
windows and doors over the last
12 months, so we knew we could
rely on the quality of his workmanship. This, combined with the
fact that he is an approved VEKA
installer, gave us the confidence
to award him the refurbishment
work for this particular project.
Daniel said: “After working in
the window and door industry
for over 15 years, I decided about
12 months ago that the time was
right to set up my own installation company. Partnering with
Glazerite as a supplier has proved
to be invaluable, not just because
of the fast and reliable service,
but also with regards to marketing support. The team at Glazerite
has provided me with my own
company logo, a professional
looking website and marketing
material, not to mention product samples and online quoting
and ordering software which has
enabled me to give a first class
service to prospective clients.”
“Working with Glazerite has also
meant becoming part of the VEKA
approved Installer network,” he
continued. “I’ve used VEKA products in the past, so I knew I could
rely on their quality and being
an Approved Installer has really
helped to strengthen the company name and gives valuable
credibility to our work.”
