CONSERVATORIES SYNSEAL’S NEW PREMIUM GLOBAL ALUMINIUM ROOF DESIGN Following successful trial installations in both hot and cold climate export climates, Synseal has now introduced a premium quality aluminium conservatory roof for UK market applications. Global Plus is a new design option featuring aluminium componentry for all external roofing parts with the exception of guttering and associated downpipes, which employs the proven PVC system as used with Global roof to align with standard conservatory installation practice in the UK. For export project applications, a bespoke aluminium guttering system is always supplied to satisfy premium continental market demand for a roof completely manufactured in aluminium. New aluminium finial and cresting designs add character to the Global Plus offering, which stands alongside the K2 aluminium roof to provide a choice of precisionengineered Synseal aluminium conservatory roof solutions. Global Plus aluminium external components include rafter and ridge top caps and end caps, radius ends and muntin bars, available ‘designs add character to the Global Plus offering’ from stock in White, Brown and Caramel polyester powder finishes as well as Mill finish, for coating in a RAL colour according to specification. Global Plus rafter top cappings can also be supplied in one of Synseal’s woodgrain foil finishes. TUFFX LAUNCHES DYNAMIC NEW ROOFING OPTION When the Government introduced new *Building Regulations in 2010 for the conservatory sector, the TuffX R&D team began to research how this would help grow the market and has now created the ecoRoof Panel, working to the new industry guidelines. Engineered from a solid, high performance but lightweight insulation core within a double layer of co-extruded material, this new roofing product is a viable, cost-effective alternative to polycarbonate that is versatile and ideal for replacement conservatory roof projects as well as partition walls, doors and balcony cladding, being quick and easy to install. Available in 3m x 2m sheets these can be cut to size and tailored for individual installations then delivered nationwide via the Tuffx fleet. Manufactured in three external colours of white (RAL 9016), slate grey (RAL 7016) and wood brown (RAL 8017) this new option is available in 24mm and 16mm thicknesses. The roof panels provide a u-value of 0.99W/ m2K (24mm thickness) or 1.46 W/m2K (16mm thickness).

Owner Andy Kerr, a former conservatory installer with experience of several conservatory roof brands, chose the Liniar Zoom conservatory roof because of its many benefits and is delighted with the results. “The Zoom system is easy to use, compared to other brands,” explains Andy. “We noticed a real difference with the speed of installation. The patented Glazing Stop retainer is excellent 80 MAY 2014 and eliminates 100% of glazing slip – putting the Liniar Zoom roof head and shoulders above the competition, in my opinion.” Liniar Zoom has unlimited design options, giving homeowners exactly what they want. And installers love Liniar Zoom too. “Most window companies are taken by surprise the first time they use it. For example, there is only one ring beam and one ridge, where most other systems have different parts for different sections of the roof. Liniar Zoom is fully on-site adjustable to give a strong, problem-free fit, reducing the risk of callbacks.” www.zoomroom.co.uk, www.conservatoryroofsuk.co.uk To read more, visit www.clearview-uk.com
