A MODERN CLASSIC
The popular Glass Roof system has been updated with a host of innovations for 2021.
Established in 1983, Glass Roof was the industry’s original conservatory roofing system and helped to set the standard for quality, with the first ever BBA certificate for a conservatory roof system 25 years ago.
We have continued to invest in the system and these latest innovations see Glass Roof emerge as a modern system that is fully engineered for the large span, modern conservatory designs of 2021 and beyond.
Consumer demands continue to evolve with a growing appetite for larger glass sizes and door spans, better sightlines with slimline aluminium finishes and thermal improvements.
SUPER BOLSTER & BI-FOLD SUPPORT BEAM
Two new bolstered profiles designed for use on large conservatories to increase spanning capabilities and ensure Glass Roof is perfectly engineered to help create the large spans demanded by modern conservatory designs.
- Bi fold support beam mounts to the underside of the eaves beam.
- Super bolster mounts to the inside of the eaves beam.
- Profiles can be used separately to bolster the eaves, or combined to increase spanning capability.
- Bolster sections only need to be specified on the elevation where the larger opening is required.
- Cost effective aluminium profile reduces cost
UNSUPPORTED 5M SPANS
As well as providing incredible strength, the new suite of bolstered eaves profiles offer cost saving opportunities - the combined bolster can span up to 5 metres without the need for any additional costly steels and all eaves bolsters are only needed on the opening elevations, offering further cost efficiencies.
SLIMLINE RIDGE
Glass Roof's new slimline ridge brings the system’s looks bang up to date and is perfect for any contemporary conservatory.
Available in aluminium externally, the ultra slim ridge has a minimalist, modern look and does not feature the usual Classic radius end but has a neat lantern style ridge end instead.
- 30% slimmer than the Classic ridge.
- Available on fixed 25° Georgian and 25° double-ended Georgians.
- Slim sightline minimalist ridge end caps giving a contemporary feel.
- Thermally broken ridge provides exceptional thermal performance.
CHAMBERED BOX GUTTER
- Chambered section enables a spanning capability up to 4 meters without the requirement for gallows brackets.
- New box gutter is compatible with both Standard Eaves beam and Super Duty eaves.
- Compatible with all current 165mm adaptors.
- Blanking plate endcap is also available to close off the chambered end.
FULLY CONFIGURABLE SLIMLINE ALUMINIUM SYSTEM
Classic Aluminium is the ideal roof for modern, aspirational conservatories with sleek good looks.
Classic Aluminium combines state-of-the-art ideas and design technologies with elegant, contemporary low profiles to provide a strong, rigid yet lightweight system that can be configured into virtually any roof design.
ENHANCED STRUCTURAL DESIGN GUIDE (eSDG)
Alongside the host of Glass Roof improvements for 2021, an Enhanced Structural Design Guide (eSDG) has been launched in Udesign.
The new guide provides the maximum unsupported spanning capability of each elevation and helps to optimise designs by selecting the right structural eaves solution for each job, removing the need to refer to a printed chart.
