Conservatories & Extensions

The Sky ’ s the Limit

» … WITH THE NEW ULTRAFRAME Roof Vent which can be used on Ultraframe ’ s glass roofs , Ultraroof , and Lanterns .
It is now possible to include the new roof vent right up to the ridge , meaning there is no longer a requirement for a
glass unit and muntin above the vent into the ridge . This gives a cleaner , more aesthetically pleasing finish which will be popular with homeowners wanting clean lines for their home extension or conservatory . However , for those who prefer the traditional roof vent placement , the current roof vent with glass panels above and below the vent is still available .
On every Ultraframe Lantern , there is now the option to specify the new full-length roof vent where the vent goes directly into the ridge AND the eaves beam so that no glass panels are required above or below the vent . The entire vent can be glazed into the roof without any joins for a clean , contemporary look .
Ultraframe Marketing Director , Alex Hewitt , said : “ The new roof vent offers a contemporary ventilation solution that can be used across the Ultraframe range in various ways to create uninterrupted sightlines and enhanced views of the sky above . The new roof vent glazes directly into the ridge body where possible , meaning there is no requirement for a glass unit above the vent . This also means that there is no need for a muntin bar , giving a much cleaner look that is popular with homeowners . Supplied in a wide range of standard colours including grey , black , white and woodgrain options , there is a roof vent colour to suit every project . On lanterns , the new roof vent can be used to create a full-length vent , which again offers a cleaner , more modern look than our current vent solution . Here at Ultraframe we continually invest into our systems to ensure they are at the forefront of technology and trends , and we are certain that the new roof vent will be extremely popular with homeowners and installers alike .”

GLASS ROOF NOW EVEN BETTER

» WENDLAND HAS announced a wide range of advances to its popular Glass Roof , which mean it looks even better and offers time and cost savings to installers .
Wendland Brand Manager , Chloe McGrath , said : “ One of the biggest updates is that the Glass Roof is now available with an Eaves Super Bolster or Combined Bolstered Eaves . Wendland has always had a range of light , standard , heavy and super-duty bars that are used to make sure the right bar is used for the right span , engineering the roof to be as low cost as possible . Now we have value-engineered the beams using the new bolsters , which are only needed on the side of the spans .”
Available in a range of standard colours or any RAL
on request , the bolsters further reduce deflection , allowing for even wider door openings and meaning that costly goalposts aren ’ t needed . They also reduce installation times and look great too thanks to a new Bolster End Cap .
Another structural update to the Wendland Glass Roof is the new reinforced 265mm Box Gutter which allows for larger spans up to 5.8m . The new box gutter also reduces installation times and means that gallows brackets are not required .
Sure to be popular with fitters is Conservaflash - now available as a simple-to-order option on the Wendland Glass Roof . A pre-formed PVC flashing system suitable for a range of angles along with a straight flashing option for lean-to ’ s , Conservaflash is
BBA approved , saves time and cost on installations , and is a greener alternative to lead .
Chloe continued : “ Along with the updates already mentioned , there are some further ones that make the Glass Roof look even better . These include a new External Corner Fascia Cover and a
new Half Ridge Crown Cap . Together , all of the structural and cosmetic advances to the roof mean that the Wendland Glass Roof is now more versatile , more fitter-friendly , more cost effective , and looks even better .”
