Base System
taking off in
outdoor market
Like the LEKA Warm Roof and the
LEKA Orangery Roof, the LEKA Xi
is a unique proposition that sets a
new standard for the industry.
» » RHYS HODDINOTT,
Managing Director of LEKA
Systems, said: “LEKA systems
are fast becoming the solution
of choice for homeowners. We
were hearing that more and more
people are asking for LEKA by
name and many installers wanted
to talk about adding our products
to their portfolio.”
The LEKA Xi is a modular
system that’s tailored to homeowner
and installer requirements and is
constructed using a LEKA base,
LEKA walls and the LEKA roof
system. There are three or four-
sided options, so it can be used
for both home extensions and
standalone garden rooms. There is
minimal groundwork required and
installation typically takes three to
five days, including fitting of the
LEKA base, LEKA walls and LEKA
roof system.
Both the thermal efficiency and
lifespan are exceptional thanks to
the GRP construction of the base,
walls and roof. There is a choice of
finishes and options for dwarf walls,
full walls or defined heights.

Trombé’s client as these provide an over-ride
solution. Additionally, the discreet nature
of SmartSecure also impressed the property
owner. The system is incorporated within

Trombé’s minimal frame sliding door system
ensuring that design aesthetics weren’t
compromised.
Carl F Groupco worked with Trombé’s
technical team to produce an innovative
solution where the SmartSecure lock was fitted
into the frame and the keep was integrated
into the sash. Taking this alternative approach
demonstrated creativity and hardware
flexibility to maintain the slim sight lines of
the profile: the new configuration enabled
Trombé to provide motorised Secured by
