conservatories

Roof windows are
thriving on the back
of conservatory
market

»»Lightweight solid
roof systems for conservatories
have gained substantial
momentum since being
introduced on the market a
few years ago as the answer to
all problems associated with
conservatories. Their popularity
has opened up a series of
opportunities for builders and
installers to further increase
their margins by offering
additional related products, such
as Roof Windows.
With their promise to deliver
all year-round usability of the
conservatory, solid roof systems
have achieved strong commercial
success both in the replacement
market, as well as the new build
sector. The last couple of years
have proved these systems live
up to the expectations, creating
a new market for additional
products along the way.
Adrian Cooper, sales director
of LB Roof Windows, explains:
“Solid roof systems have great
insulating properties compared
to the glass or polycarbonate
roofs, keeping the heating bills
down during the cold months.
But they also require very
good ventilation to maintain

a cool, pleasant temperature
in the summer. One stylish
way of achieving this is by
fitting Roof Windows which, in
combination with the vertical
units, offer an optimum level of
ventilation, even in south-facing
conservatories.”
LB Roof Windows is a
leading supplier of Velux, Dakea
and Aurora Roof Windows
manufactured by the reputable
international VKR Group.
The company also supplies
conservatory roof accessories
including tie bars and tie wires,
roof vent accessories, flat roof
domes, as well as many other
related products.
According to the company’s
sales director, demand for Roof
Windows is following a strong,
ascending trend, and Adrian
believes this is partly due to
more and more homeowners
opting for solid roofs and,
implicitly, Roof Windows.
He added: “Homeowners
still want their conservatory
to serve the purpose for
which they were built, to allow
maximum levels of natural light
in and to offer beautiful views
of the garden and sky. Not only
do Roof Windows enable this,
while perfectly complimenting
solid roof systems, but, thanks to
their high energy performances,
there’s no heat loss during
winters either.”
LB Roof Windows are the
exclusive UK supplier of the
Aurora range of Roof Windows.
Sales of the Aurora Roof
Window have recorded a spike
in demand thanks to its position
on the market as an affordable,
but still high-quality option to
the more well-known brands.
