CONSERVATORIES
K2 CAPELLA’S MODULAR
OPTIONS ARE JUST THE JOB
When Doncaster-based Paul Jackson
Conservatories asked K2 fabricator Four
Seasons Conservatories what orangery
solutions they had to offer that would allow
Paul to present his potential customer
with something innovative, the timing was
perfect.
Two new upgrade options had been recently
introduced to the K2 Capella orangery: an
internal full-height plasterboard soffit, for
that true orangery look; and the already
highly popular aluminium fascia and optional
decorative pilasters which had been adapted
from the best-selling Global Summer to fit
onto the K2 hybrid orangery system.
Paul comments: “The external finish,
particularly the pilasters, gives their new room
a really striking appearance. Our customers
were over the moon with the end result. They
had looked into fully structural orangeries
and had gone to some of the big national
installers. But their prices were not within
budget and they could not offer an alternative
product.”
The installed Capella measures 6 metres
by 4 metres and features a brick dwarf
wall designed to match the Georgian style
property.
Phil Foulger at Four Seasons is now actively
promoting the K2 Capella as an alternative
to a standard conservatory or fully structural
orangery.
NEW Lead-Look Roof for
Refurbished Park Shelter
Roof Assured by Sarnafil installer, High
Tech Membrane Roofing in Essex, has
installed a new roof on a small shelter in the
newly-restored Raphael Park in Romford.
The shelter had been completely renovated
with new timbers prior to installing the
heritage lead grey, Sarnafil single ply
membrane roof. The matching batten
roll profiles replicate the lead look of the
original roof and retain the character of the
shelter.
Lead theft from public building roofs is
an ongoing problem for Local Authorities.
Replacing traditional lead roofs with the
high performance Sarnafil membrane meets
planning authority consent and provides a
long life with minimal maintenance.
The restoration of Raphael Park was carried
out thanks to a £1.87 million boost from
the Heritage Lottery Fund after Havering
Council put forward a detailed bid designed
to increase visitor numbers and improve the
park’s facilities. Now visitors can enjoy the
new look park and its small, but perfectly
formed, shelter.

Guardian sales ‘through the
roof’ for Pyramid Windows!

“The Guardian roof has gone

A key benefit is that it can replace
an existing conservatory roof while
keeping the original windows,
door frames and walls, so installers
can use it to sell to homeowners
frustrated by problems with an
existing conservatory.
Ian says that the Guardian
Warm Roof is the only solid tiled
roof on the market that has full
Local Authority Building Control
Approval. Pyramid has created a
footpath with CNC South Norfolk
Local Authority to expedite
approval for installers on all
Guardian projects.
Installers just notify CNC South
Norfolk Local Authority when an
installation is about to take place,
pay the £150 approval charge and
work can begin. If the installation
is in another area, CNC will liaise
