The sky’s the limit with a new
breed of conservatories
A new breed of orangery roof design has been unveiled by Atlas Glazed Roof Solutions. The
slimmest and one of the strongest mock orangery roof systems in the industry, the ‘Skyroom’
is the latest addition to the Atlas range of aluminium conservatory and lantern roofs.
Created to satisfy the
current needs of the marketplace, the Atlas Skyroom
is a fully aluminium, slimline, thermally broken system which brings the much
sought after contemporary
designer style of an orangery at a price that’s affordable for most homeowners.
With less visible profile and
more glass, thanks to a 70%
slimmer ridge and 30% slimmer rafter, it blends design
aesthetics, outstanding
strength and unrivalled thermal performance, all under
one orangery roof.
Gareth Thomas, Sales and Marketing Director at Atlas Glazed
Roof Solutions, said: “We are really proud to launch this product,
which is a truly exciting advance
in orangery/conservatory design.
With all the characteristics of an
Atlas roof, the Skyroom is one of
the finest contemporary looking products available. Its good
looks are by no means at the
expense of performance however;
the Atlas roof rafter is the most
thermally efficient in the UK and
it is also one of the strongest
glazed roofing systems available. The launch of the Skyroom
brings a major step forward for
an industry which is ready for a
new generation of products that
deliver innovation without compromise.”
The roof has been created
with both internal and external
aesthetics in mind. Inside, the
Skyroom combines a subtle roof
frame and slim 40mm internal
ridge and rafter sections with
maximum glazing to optimise
the sense of light and space. A
unique raised ring beam creates
the luxurious appearance of a
real orangery lantern roof, whilst
unique hidden or rafter tie bar
supports eliminate the need for
unsightly rod tie bars. And unlike
many of its rivals, there are no
boss or hoods to intrude on the
roof’s slim-line ridge.
On the outside, low level capping helps to minimise external
sightlines and a unique 300mm
aluminium cornice adds bold
architectural detailing and creates
the authentic appearance of an
orangery. Bi-folding doors up to a
width of 4000mm can be accommodated thanks to the Skyroom’s
reinforced ring beam. The Skyroom is available in Edwardian or
Hipped Edwardian styles and in
any RAL colour.
The Skyroom is arguably the
best performing roof in the UK,
despite its extensive glazing.
Independent testing by the BBA
verifies that the Atlas roof rafter
is the most thermally efficient
available. The Atlas roof rafter has
a U Value of 1.5 W/m2k which
is twice as thermally efficient as
its nearest competitor. The rafter
is available with double glazing
which has a U Value of 0.9 W/
m2
