Structural Support Solutions

The trend for ‘grand design’ style home extensions is becoming increasingly popular, with homeowners opting for large open spans and contemporary bi-fold or sliding doors opening up their home to the garden beyond.

With less structure in the elevations below the roof, it is extremely important that the correct structural support for the building is identified to manage both vertical and lateral forces.

Performance Engineering

  • 1 Barbs on uPVC top cap are retained inside aluminium structure - enhanced security, will not lossen on expansion.
  • 2 High strength twin wall chambered top cap offers improved thermal performance and reduced risk of condensation.
  • 3 Optional chambered top cap (choice of 2) resists bowing and twisting.

GLAZING

The glazing you specify can have an impact on a rooms temperature and energy efficiency, so it’s important to educate your customers on the correct specification for the orientation of their home.

We offer a range of glazing options to be used with our roofing systems and they are available in a range of specifications and colour options.

MORE ON GLAZING

GLAZING BAR ANCHOR CLIPS


A natural characteristic of a roof consisting of an aluminium core with PVCu top caps is differing expansion and contraction. We provide a tried, tested and patented solution to give long term peace of mind to maintain the critical weather tight seal.

Specification

Specified as standard, the anchor clip grabs the barbs of the PVCu top cap.

Support Clips

Glazing support clips lock glazing material in position – meaning you’ll never return to site for glazing slippage.

VENTILATION

Although vital to the maintenance of a comfortable environment, ventilation is often overlooked by both consumers and manufacturers. We remain the only conservatory roof brand to provide built in trickle ventilation as standard.

Eavesflow

Eavesflow sits within the eaves beam, introducing clean fresh air to replace the warm moist air that exits through the ridge.

Trickle Ventilation

Harnesses natural upward movement of warm air to carry stale, moist air to the roof apex for venting outside.

TIE BAR REPLACEMENT KIT (TBRK)

The tie bar replacement kit features new state-of-the-art technology and is the UK’s only effective solution to traditional tie bars.

An aluminium bolster beam extends along the entire length of the ridge and acts as one with the existing aluminium ridge body to virtually eliminate deflection.

Insulated Internal Pelmet

The insulated internal pelmet is the best of both worlds, combining the light and sky views of a conservatory with the walls and ceiling of an extension ensuring your new orangery or extension is always warm, welcoming, and cosy.

Using the proven Glass Roof roof at its heart, an engineered framing system is added internally which is plastered to give a perimeter ceiling all the way round creating a look that is neither conservatory nor extension.

 

 

CHOICE OF CORNICES

A decorative cornice adds shape and style to any roofline, concealing gutters and rafter ends. Best of all there are 4 styles to choose from (1-tier flat cornice, 2-tier flat cornice, 3-tier flat cornice, curved cornice).

1, 2 & 3 tier flat cornices are available with 90° corners and straight jointers. The curved cornice includes a die cast 135° and 90° corner cover as well as straight jointers, which helps achieve a consistent fit and finish at critical junctions. 

All cornices are available in a wide range of colours to match the specifications of your project.

Opening Roof Vents

A roof vent is one of the fastest ways of ventilating a conservatory during the warmest months of the year.

Roof vents are thermally broken to ensure optimum thermal performance and boasts a PVC welded frame to eliminate any chance of leaks.

Available on all of the Ultraframe and Quantal roofing systems with a choice of manual openers, electronic openers and electric openers with thermostat and rain sensor.
