» THE NEW FACTORY premises in Basildon , Essex , was completely refurbished this year , including new windows to the front and side to complement the building ’ s new sleek black cladding .
TuffX ’ s Ambi Ultra glass was chosen for the windows due to the south-facing aspect of the building . Ambi Ultra is a strikingly dark , self-cleaning , low-E solar tinted product which allows 8 % light transmission whilst achieving 91 % solar heat reflection and a U-value of 1.0 , making it the highest performing product of its kind

available on the market . It is this combination of high performing features that makes Ambi Ultra the ideal choice to reduce glare and heat in offices and factories , as well as for south-facing conservatories in the home . In total , 100m 2 were used in the refurbishment .
The factory , which had not been modernised in 30 years , was completed in August 2020 . The result is as stunning and as it is practical : Planet Roofing ’ s customers can ’ t miss the eyecatching black cladded building as they enter the Ilford Trading Estate .

“ It ’ s turned us into something of a landmark in the area . It has completely transformed the factory and the glass does the job we expected of it ,” said Paul Rickman of Planet Roofing .
“ We ’ ve had a great relationship with TuffX for many years . With TuffX we knew we ’ d get the right product with excellent customer service and efficient delivery .”

TuffX ’ s Managing Director Graham Price said : “ We ’ ve worked with Planet Roofing for a long time , supplying glass for their rooflights , and were delighted to be chosen to help transform their new premises .
“ We were able to advise on just the right glass for the job and deliver it to the standard Planet Roofing knew to expect from us . The finished result functions brilliantly and looks fantastic . We wish them many happy years to come in their new location .”
