ATLAS INSTALLATION OF THE YEAR WINNERS ANNOUNCED
Designed to recognise outstanding design and installation skills as well as inspire installers around the country , the Atlas Installation of the Year Awards is always hotly-anticipated .
|
This year ’ s panel of judges once again included the editors of Glass and Glazing Products and Windows Active and they had the unenviable job of sifting through the monthly winners .
Taking the top spot was Village Conservatories with their stunning L-shaped orangery . Bringing together aluminium , reclaimed brick , glass and two large Atlas lanterns , their design impressed the judges with its clever use of space around the home , great finishing touches and the quality of installation given the challenges it created .
Second place went to March 2017 winner Vale Orangeries from South Wales . The judges loved the way their design for a light and airy ultra-modern extension used a full range of glazing products , including the Atlas Flat Rooflight , and cleverly made the most of the space .

In third place was Vision Conservatories , who won in May . Their design for a home in a Wiltshire village successfully bridged the addition of a contemporary extension to a traditional house , using a bold pyramid lantern to create a striking look .
The judges also announced that this year ’ s winner of the special Innovation Award was Keymer Double Glazing from West Sussex . Their one-off extension on a grand , multi-level property combined the clever use of space with a large Atlas lantern to create as much light as possible in an underground extension .
