TOP FIRST HALF YEAR
»»ATLAS GLAZED ROOF SOLUTIONS
has announced exceptional sales of its fixed
Flat Rooflight, just six months after its launch.
Since first unveiling it at the FIT Show earlier
this year, demand for the Flat Rooflight has
risen sharply and Atlas is now fabricating at
least 40 rooflights a week.
Gareth Thomas, Sales and Marketing
Director at Atlas Glazed Roof Solutions,
explains: “It’s been a superb first six months
since the launch of our Flat Rooflight and we’re
delighted to report that sales are consistently on
the up. We know from talking to our installers
that this is down to a number of factors; the
look of the product, its competitive price, a
fast five-day lead time and the comprehensive
marketing support we provide. One thing they
all say however is how easy this product is to
fit. One of our customers reported that they’d
installed a rooflight in just one hour, which is
incredible!
“It’s fantastic to be supporting our installers
with a desirable, fitter-friendly product that
will help them increase their productivity and
ultimately boost their profits. We’re well on
course to hit our next exciting milestone of 50
flat rooflights a week very soon.”

No Brexit blues
»»WITH THE MAJORITY OF THE
industry poised for a dip in consumer spend
whilst homeowners wait for clarification
of what Brexit actually means for them,
Conservatory Outlet and its network retail
partners have seen no such trends and are set
strong to continue in their sustained growth
patterns of recent years.
In the six weeks since the Brexit decision
was announced, the daily monitoring of raw
retail enquiries has demonstrated an average
increase of 18% across the Conservatory
Outlet network from 2015 to 2016, and
on some specific days the total enquiry
figures were more than twice the amount in
comparison to the previous year.
The Wakefield-based fabricator doubled its
turnover between 2012 and 2015 and, despite
the concerns surrounding the EU referendum
results, this commendable growth rate shows
no sign of slowing down. Conservatory
Outlet’s ‘area exclusive’ business model is
designed specifically for its retail partners
which, alongside the hard work and initiatives
of the network installers themselves, has
seen Conservatory Outlet retail partners
traditionally fare better than the rest of the
market.
Conservatory Outlet Joint Managing
Director, Greg Kane, comments: “It appears
that the great marketing work from our wellbranded Conservatory Outlet installers is
helping to persuade clients to continue along
the ‘don’t move – improve’ approach.”
SMASHING SUMMER
»»TRADE FABRICATOR, NOVASEAL, IS
celebrating record sales this summer. Managing
Director, Gary Grundy, says sales between
May-July were 10% up on the previous year.
Novaseal reports strong growth across the
board, but in particular for conservatories and
its new Slim 60 lantern roof.
Launched earlier this year, Slim 60 is based
on an innovative design that allows more glass
area by reducing the size of the ridges and
connections. Rooms with the Slim 60 lantern
roof benefit from more light and a feeling of
space and height. The choice of K2 Celsius or
Pilkington ActivTM glass means homeowners
benefit from the best heat reflecting properties

in summer and thermal efficiency in winter.
The roof is easy to install and available in
standard sizes on a 7-day lead time.
“Our new Slim 60 Lantern Roof has been
hugely popular. It looks stunning and works
with any style of property. Installers love it
because it’s easy to fit and available on very
short lead times,” says Gary.
Founded in 1998, Novaseal has grown
fast to become a leading home improvement
specialist on the South Coast, with two
manufacturing facilities and three trade
counters.
