SOLIDROOFS & CONSERVATORIES

SOLID POLYCARBONATE THAT LOOKS JUST LIKE GEORGIAN WIRED GLASS

»»
WHEN A SYMPATHETIC glazing refurbishment is required , but the modern day standards of health and safety are essential , Twinfix GW Polycarbonate™ from Birchwood Trading strikes the perfect balance between old and new .
This innovative product is a 6mm thick , dimpled surface , solid polycarbonate glazing sheet that mimics
the appearance of Georgian wired glass . It is ideal for listed buildings and heritage sites .
Its lightweight ( just 7.2kg / m ²) and impact resistance are a key advantage and make it safer to transport and install than traditional Georgian wired glass . Being virtual unbreakable negates future costly broken glazing replacement . Retaining its properties at both high and low temperatures , + 100 ° C to
-40 ° C , helps to eliminate the maintenance costs involved in replacing broken glazing . It can also withstand natural forces like severe wind , hail , and snow storms as well as building movement .
Samples are available on request . Sheets can be purchased in standard sizes from the Birchwood Trading website . A cut-to-size service is also offered .

SECOND SOLID ROOF SOLUTION OFFER

»»
CONSERVATORY OUTLET HAS incorporated the UltraRoof 380 system into its ever increasing product remit . Featuring as the latest in a series of additions , UltraRoof 380 will become the second product line in the fabricator ’ s solid roof range .
After its launch at this year ’ s FIT Show , Conservatory Outlet ’ s retail partners were among the first in the industry to view the new lightweight tiled roof system up-close at an exclusive event held at the end of May , raising significant interest from all quarters of the Conservatory Outlet network .
The UltraRoof 380 , slate-covered , solid roof system can achieve a U-value as low as 0.16W / m ² K , but can also facilitate the inclusion of large rectangular glass panels , as an alternative to roof windows . Watertight in a matter of hours , the system is fitter-friendly and never requires structural ties bars .
To generate momentum and enquiries for its installer-customers , Conservatory Outlet will be involved in a six month , joint-advertising venture in Real Homes and Homebuilding & Renovating magazines .
Greg Kane , Conservatory Outlet Joint Managing Director , said : “ We are pleased to be able to offer the choice of two solid roof systems with distinctly different features and benefits , but which are placed at similar price points .”
