19 PRO INSTALLER AUGUST 2016 PRO NEWS @proinstaller1 VAST ATLAS SKYROOM IS A FIRST South Wales-based Atlas approved installer Vale Orangeries has installed its first Skyroom. Not only was the installation at a former school house in the South Wales valleys the largest Skyroom installation ever, it was also a winner in the coveted Atlas Installation of the Month competition. The vast 9x3 metre dual colour Skyroom beat off stiff competition to be the April winner in the competition, which was launched last year to commend the best Atlas orangery, conservatory and rooflight installations. The project impressed the judging panel because of its scale and how it has dramatically transformed the appearance of the property. The owners had carefully renovated the school house and wanted to replace their tired PVCu conservatory with a traditional orangery that would span the entire width of the building. Keen to improve the flow of rooms within their home and to maximise the sense of space and light, the own- ers approached Vale Orangeries to discuss design ideas. The team presented two options - a conventional orangery and an Atlas Skyroom. The customer was immediately drawn to the contemporary features of the Skyroom, its realistic orangery appearance and its superior thermal performance, essential for such a large, open plan structure. Vale Orangeries demolished the original conservatory and managed the build, which took around eight weeks. The company built the large extension, which features dual colour aluminium windows and bi-folding doors from Atlas’ sister company Customade, and created two openings from the original dining room and kitchen into the new Skyroom. The Skyroom roof was then installed in just two days. With its slimmer sightlines and unique dummy ringbeam design, the Skyroom has improved the quality of light within the property and complemented the period features of the building. In the Atlas Installation of the Month competition, the winning installer each month scoops a £200 Screwfix voucher and a £50 Majestic Wine voucher, plus trade industry PR and entry into the award finals. All entries submitted with completed installation pictures receive an Atlas thermal mug.
