»»Phil Coppell Limited has been
manufacturing the Guardian Roof for the
last few years and from a standing start they
have steadily and relentlessly increased their
production output.
Over the last five years PCL has grown to
over 100 personnel, moved to larger premises
creating greater capacity and subsequently
a more sophisticated production line. The
huge in-house warehousing means PCL can
stock enough materials to manage a roundthe-clock service which is very capable of
supporting the ever increasing demand.
The Guardian™ solid roof has full LABC
(in England and Wales) and LABSS (in
Scotland) type approval which means there
will be no planning issues to deal with.
No other roof system can claim this very
important point and, alongside the impressive
thermal values, an easy installation procedure
and a choice of interior and external finishes,
it’s easy to see why the Guardian™ Roof is way
ahead of its rivals and really does give home
owners an extra room that they can enjoy all
year round.
There’s no substitute for experience
and PCL has an excellent track record
for manufacturing within the window
and conservatory industry but when the
opportunity to produce a lightweight solid
roof with all the advantages and benefits came
along – it wasn’t a matter of adding it to their
business strategy, it was more of a chance for
the solid conservatory roof production to
become a central element of their long term
plans.
