The key sales arena is undoubtedly retrofit replacement of existing 1st generation conservatory roofs, which is certainly a growing market segment. “We knew we were doing the right thing in launching Celsius Solid Roof,” comments Mark Schlotel, Head of Marketing at Synseal, “but the feedback from installers to our new truly warm all-timber solid roof design has been fantastic.
