conservatories NEW TWIST ON ORANGERIES Aztec Conservatory Roof Systems’ new ring beam finishing detail is giving fabricators and installers a fresh dimension to adding value. »»Limelight has been purposedesigned to be quick and easy to fix inside the roof, creating a contemporary interior to the finished orangery. It eliminates cost, planning and time issues historically associated with creating the same effect- having several trades on site to construct a section of flat roof. A lightweight steel ladder framework supplied already cut to size, Limelight is quickly and easily secured into the ring beam, and plasterboard. Plaster-boarding enables personalising to the consumer’s requirements. Dark tinted glazing is fitted inside the main roof structure to eliminate the risk of solar heat penetrating into the box and potentially leading to condensation. Tim Franks, Aztec Conservatory Roof Systems’ managing director, explains: “The overall effect of Limelight makes the orangery seem more substantial, and an integral part of the home rather than an extension. We have specifically engineered Limelight to optimise its ability for individuality: for example, downlights can be exactly positioned when needed/ wanted, rather than handing people a ‘fait accompli’ with pre-drilled openings.” For more information visit www.aztecsystems.net The Natural Choice for Sealed Glass Units Manufacturer and distributer of double and triple glazed sealed units, Cornwall Glass Group has recently launched SiestaT. »»SiestaT is the all-round solution for conservatories, offering total solar control to all sections of the conservatory.
