11 PRO INSTALLER DECEMBER 2014 PRO NEWS @proinstaller1 LABC approval makes life easier for installers Supalite tiled roof system has been certified by LABC, making the whole planning and installation process much easier for installers. It is the latest development to be announced by Supalite and added to the many other outstanding features of the system, achieving LABC approval makes it easy to understand why Supalite is gaining so much installer approval. Speaking for Supalite, Steve Hacking Operations Manager explained some of the immediate benefits of having LABC registration. He said: “For the many installers who use our roof system to replace existing conservatory roofs, LABC approval makes the whole process really simple; they know that when they offer the Supalite system to a customer there isn’t going to be any unnecessary delays, and the whole job can be completed in the minimum amount of time. They are not going to fall foul of any building regulation stipulations that they might not be aware of; specifying a Supalite Roof takes away all of the risk. “Installers of our roof system can be confident that they are offering a product which has been approved and is certified by the relevant authorities. “LABC registration is just the latest addition to our offering, and complements the on-going process of product development which has seen Supalite become a major part of the rapidly growing replacement roof market,” adds Steve. ‘maximum amount of support’ Converting existing extensions into all year round living areas While being ideal for new build applications the Supalite Roof System is primarily designed as a ready-made replacement for existing roofs, helping to convert existing conservatories into all year round living spaces. Offering vaulted ceilings to create internal space and lighting options, other homeowner friendly features such as an option to install LED down lighters externally into its unique fascia detail, large roof vents to allow the maximum amount of natural light, and a complete range of colour matched ancillaries makes the Supalite Roof System the perfect choice for homeowners wanting to gain much more from their existing conservatory. Outstanding thermal performance What’s more the Supalite Tiled Roof system delivers outstanding thermal performance; with U value ratings as low as 0.15wmk2 available for the most extreme environments, and 0.18wmk2 as standard, the roof fully complies with all existing UK building regulations. For homeowners, having a Supalite tiled roof installed takes away the extreme temperature fluctuations so often associated with a standard conservatory roof and offers them a new energy efficient product with the added benefit of lower fuel bills. Outstanding range of colour options Its consumer appeal is heightened further by the choice of colour options and tile and slate variations available making it wholly flexible to meet individual consumer choices. There are five colours of tile and a further four natural effect slate options; all products have been extensively tested on live installations in the USA, Canada, and Australia over many years giving homeowners the peace of mind that the 25 years guarantee they get on it can be fully supported. Outstanding marketing support for installers For installers who want to offer the many benefits of the Supalite Roof System to their customers there is a full range of marketing support items available, ranging from standard brochures to bespoke brochures, advertising templates, consumer price lists, postcards, flyers, and showroom banners along with fully assembled samples. Steve said: “We are really determined that installers of our products should have the maximum amount of support available to them. We want to expand the market share of the Supalite Roof, and the best way to do that is by supporting our installers in their own sales and marketing efforts. “We have a full range of marketing support options available for our customers, and our joint efforts will bring rewards all round.” Outstanding opportunities Adding LABC certification is the latest step along the way.
