‘ Phenomenal ’ rise of solid roof
» ULTRAFRAME HAS REPORTED A 43 % year-on-year increase in sales for its Livinroof solid roof system , which continues to grow in popularity , despite the strong growth in the tiled roof market .
Ultraframe Marketing Director , Alex Hewitt , said : “ Much of the attention around solid roofs in recent years has been around tiled roofs , such as our Ultraroof system . However , our other solid roof system – Livinroof – has been quietly increasing in popularity and has recently hit a phenomenal 43 % increase in sales vs this time last year .”
There are many reasons why Ultraframe believes that Livinroof has seen such dramatic growth . Based on the company ’ s original Glass Roof , Livinroof is familiar to surveyors and fitters and extremely simple to install . Available in almost any shape or size , Livinroof is the ideal choice for any style of extension , and with a pitch as low as 5 °, can even be used for creating contemporary low pitch lean-tos .
Premium Garden Rooms Designed Online
Glass panels - including shaped glazing - can be integrated virtually anywhere into the design at no extra cost , giving natural light where needed and creating a stunning feature on the interior of the roof .
As with all Ultraframe systems , fitter-friendliness is at the heart of the system and Livinroof is no exception . A patented adjustable speedlock system optimises glazing bar compression , makes the roof simple to fit and ensures fast fit , first time , every time .
Explaining further , Alex said : “ Many homeowners realised during the various lockdowns that they needed more space on their home and Livinroof is a fantastic way to achieve this . While Livinroof can already achieve a fantastic U-Value of just 0.16 , we are currently working to enhance its thermal performance even further to ensure it exceeds the changes to the Building Regulations which come into force in June .”
To support the growth of the system during the pandemic , Ultraframe ran a series of live webinars and training events to help Livinroof users understand more about the system and the support available , all of which are available to rewatch upon request on the company ’ s YouTube channel .
