COMPLETE PEACE OF MIND
» IN ADDITION TO OFFERING stunning good looks and class-leading performance , the Ultraroof solid roof system from Ultraframe also offers complete peace of mind thanks to the reassurance of LABC and LABSS certification , along with components that are BBA approved .
Approvals by these bodies means that a project featuring an Ultraroof is much easier for the builder or installer , as much of the red tape is already taken care of , and they can also reassure the homeowner that the roof system being used is independently accredited to perform past minimum regulatory requirements .
Ultraframe Marketing Director , Alex Hewitt , said : “ The BBA Agrément Certificate is a mark of excellence based on rigorous national and European standards that validate a construction product ’ s quality , technical capabilities and uniqueness . This is a mark that is known to many homeowners – especially those interested in home improvements – and so is a great selling point for installers and builders when explaining the merits of
Ultraroof to a homeowner . Ultraframe has worked closely with the BBA for over 25 years since our Glass Roof first gained the accreditation . More recently we have worked with the BBA to approve our Ultrapanel technology which we also use on house roofs and I am delighted that Ultraroof is now the only solid roof on the market to feature BBA approved Ultrapanel technology .
“ We are also proud to hold both LABC and LABSS approval for England / Wales and Scotland respectively . These approvals allow building control departments right across England , Wales & Scotland to quickly and easily access the technical information they need about Ultraroof when considering a Building Regulation ( or Scottish equivalent ) application . This makes things much simpler for our customers and allows the application to be fast tracked thanks to the completion certificate which is only issued following satisfactory inspections made as part of a valid Building Regulation application by Local Authority Building Control teams .”
Ultraframe has recently been educating
installers about the benefits of Ultraroof that help them to ‘ stand out ’ against their competition , and the various approvals and accreditations held by the system are a critical part of the stand out support offering .

Safety in the Shade
» WENDLAND FABRICATOR , NW Rooftech , has recently completed an unusual aluminium canopy installation , designed to protect a gentleman with extremely sensitive skin from the sun ’ s harmful UV rays . High specification glazing has been used in the glass roof which features the Wendland Lantern ridge .
Commenting about the project , Wendland Brand Manager , Chloe McGrath , said : “ The Wendland Lantern can be used for a range of projects including orangeries and flat roof extensions , but this is the first time we have seen it used to create such a canopy . Aside from looking great , this project serves an important purpose by giving a man with very sensitive skin a place to relax outdoors , knowing he is safe from harmful UV rays . NW Rooftech have done a sterling job and it ’ s no wonder the customer is happy with it .”
The bespoke canopy was designed by Andy Ingham at NW Rooftech , who explained further . He said : “ We have never been asked before to design a conservatory structure to protect someone in this way and we were really pleased to have been able to help . The canopy uses the Wendland Lantern ridge and has created a great place to relax . The glass choice for the roof was of course , key to protecting the homeowner from UV rays . The glass chosen for this project is aqua heat reflective glass which offers 82 % solar reflection to block out the majority of the sun ’ s damaging UV rays .”
The Wendland Lantern has a simple , neat design and a host of clip-on features which make it fast and easy to fit . Thanks to its
strong ridge , the Wendland Lantern has fewer bars than other lanterns , and offers modern good looks that appeal to homeowners .
