Supalite Equals Super Roofs
roof2roof are transforming conservatories
for all year round use.
As manufacturers for more than three
decades now, Absolute Window Co, one of
the North West’s premier suppliers to the
trade, has witnessed numerous changes and
developments in the market.
Always with an eye for product innovation,
two and a half years ago, they began installing
the Supalite tiled conservatory roof system
and, impressed by the product’s credentials,
applied and got a licence to manufacture the
system themselves.
Now the Worsley, Manchester-based
company’s own brand ‘roof2roof ’ is taking the
trade by storm with Supalite.
“This is a system that can transform a
conservatory from an unused wasted space
to a virtual home extension that is versatile,
comfortable and fully usable all year round,”
says Jim Dance.
TEMPERATURE CONTROL

“Stabilising temperature control has
always been one of the biggest factors with
conservatories,” he says.
“As a result, for so long, many of them just
remained sadly unused. But these issues have
been addressed by the Supalite system which
offers many of the benefits of an extension. It
is a structural system, a quality product that
is not cheap – but is still far cheaper than a
traditionally built extension - and we believe
represents an excellent investment to the
homeowner.
“Because this product is all about insulation
and not just a cosmetic home improvement,
the VAT rate is just 5 percent from the
installer to the consumer, which is an added
sales incentive.

“With a U value of just 0.18 it will reduce
energy bills so ticks the energy efficiency box.
Large rooflights can be incorporated to allow
in light but not glare, and the roofs also look
aesthetically pleasing.
NO CONDENSATION, NO MAINTENANCE

“There is no condensation problem thanks
to airflow throughout the system. A choice of
tiles is available and these offer the advantages
of a secure roof – an important factor
with the strong winds we are subjected to
nowadays. The tiles also come with a 40 year
manufacturer’s guarantee and no maintenance
is needed after installation
“Structural posts with bolt in corner
mullions will offer reinforcement where this
may be necessary,” Jim added.
Some of the issues that arose in the past
which limited the use of conservatories for
many householders – in particular, such as
conservatories that were too warm in summer
but too chilly in winter - have been addressed
and today’s customer can be assured of an
additional room that is versatile all year round
– obviously making them a better product and
consequently an easier product to sell.
A VITAL COMPONENT

With climate change and energy efficiency
very much on everybody’s agenda right now,
many people considering upgrading their
existing conservatory will be looking at the
different roof options now available. Clearly,
the roof is a vital component that needs to
perform satisfactorily whatever the weather.
roof2roof offer a full back-up service to their
trade customers too.

“We are happy to help our trade customers
in any way we can,” said Jim, “we regularly
hold Open Days here and offer training and
demonstrations to help market the product.”
With so many conservatories just waiting to
be transformed, there is a lot of business out
there.
Currently, roof2roof is covering trade
customers in the North and Midlands.
