Conservatory roof and bifold door supplier Made For
Trade successfully hosted
a Celsius solid roof open
day, attracting installers and
tradesmen from across the
country.
Hosted at the Made For Trade
show village in the North East,
Pro Installer attended the event,
which featured a live-build of the
innovative new Celsius solid roof
by manufacturers Synseal, with
installers from Synseal giving live
demonstrations and advice on
how to fit the lightweight system.
The benefits to both installers
and homeowners were discussed,
with Synseal detailing how the
system is more thermally efficient
and easier to fit than other solid
roofs on the market.
Mike Robinson, the Roof Manager at Made For Trade, was
delighted with the turnout for the
event.
He said: “It was great to see
so many of our existing, loyal
customers attend and also meet a
few companies I have not worked
with before.
“The weather may have been
changeable at times, but everyone
who attended was very attentive
and we hope they enjoyed the
day as well as being impressed by
the roof.”
Attendees of the event were given the opportunity to watch the
Celsius Solid Roof being built in
real-time, proving just how easy it
is to install: The solid roof build
can be completed in just two
days, saving tradesmen one to
two days work, meaning that they
have more time on their hands to
get other jobs done, (or to take a
break!). The time saved therefore
provides installers with greater
profit.
Experts from Synseal were able
to answer questions and give
valuable advice on the installation of the Celsius roof, which is
designed to meet the demand for
lightweight solid roofs.
The product combines a timber
frame with Kingspan insulated
roof panels, environmentally-friendly Envirotile external
roof tiles and cappings, creating
a warm solid roof construction.
A Velux roof light is included to
allow light into the extension.
Due to the eco-friendly Envirotiles, the Celsius roof is not as
heavy as traditional systems using
concrete or slate tiles, allowing
it to be retro-fitted to existing
conservatories as well as newbuilds.
Mike added: “It may be the latest
addition to our range, but with
the demand for lightweight solid
roofs at an all-time high, the Celsius system is set to become a very
popular product in our range.”
Managing Director Bradley
Gaunt attributes the company’s
success on their high quality
product range as well as its lean
and efficient strategy, allowing for
significant savings to be made by
customers.
He said: “Here at Made For
Trade, we have a simple philosophy; provide the best products
with the best service at the best
prices. With further expansion
expected, we are confirming to
the industry that we are a force to
contend with.”
Richard Gaunt, Director, Made
For Trade, expects the roof to
make a big impact in the market.
He said:
“The Celsius Solid Roof is how a
roof should be. I believe we have
the best product, for the lowest
prices. If it wasn’t good people
wouldn’t come back and order
from us again.”
With a database of over 700
returning customers, Richard
and Bradley’s point is more than
proven.
The roof is timber, rather than
aluminium like many of its competitors, making it much more
lightweight.
