Karl said : “ We ’ re already seeing enquiries increasing for our flat glass products – both rooflights and linked glazing . As well as being popular in the higher end residential market where demand is holding up well , flat glass rooflights from our em . glaze range are quick and easy to install , so they ’ re very good for installers ’ margins .

“ We can help customers with everything from sizing to glass specifications and ventilation options and deliver direct to site straight from stock in three to five days , so they ’ re hassle free as well . We can also supply pre-assembled , fully Building Regs compliant timber upstands with every premium and economy flat glass rooflight . So unlike when

they construct their own upstands onsite , installers know there ’ s absolutely no risk with Whitesales of being caught out when it comes to Building Control inspections .

“ Linked glazing looks likely to be another growth area this year because it opens up so many new design options for architects , developers and homeowners . Unlike lanterns or rooflights , there are no real restrictions on size , and it guarantees the wow factor that many buyers want at an affordable price .”

Piers added : “ Whitesales ’ 35 + years of experience and expertise means we can handle any rooflight challenge and help with any overhead glazing enquiry – from big volumes of standard products to

bespoke one-offs for high-end projects .

“ Since our debut at the FIT Show last May when we set out to show just how capable we are in this sector of the market , we ’ ve had enquiries from fabricators and installers for jobs which they previously might have turned down because they seemed too complex .

“ We ’ re currently quoting on everything from a glass dome for a mosque to a circular glass tunnel connecting two parts of an architect ’ s studio for fabricators who want our help in making sure they don ’ t miss out on new and exciting commercial opportunities ; and we ’ re expecting those types of enquiries to increase .

“ As conditions potentially become more challenging for

those in the mid-market in particular , having the right supplier by your side to help you move into new sectors is even more vital than ever . Buying rooflights from a company that competes with you on windows and doors makes even less sense , and so does sticking with the same supplier because there ’ s a perceived risk associated with change .

“ Switching to Whitesales for your rooflights doesn ’ t carry risk . We do exactly what we say we will when it comes to service and support , and we always live up to our promises on quality and delivery . For us , there ’ s lots to be excited about this year .”
