»»After the successful launch
of one the industry’s more recent innovations,
Skyview Roof ’s customer, Allan Duffield of
Eagle Home Improvements talks to Clearview
about his first installation of the Warmcore
bi-folding door.
Manufactured by Skyview, he tells how in
the future, why he will be advising customers
of the better thermal qualities the product can
offer.
“I set up Eagle Home Improvements back
in 1991, assisting in extensions, bathrooms,
kitchens and general home improvements,”
Allan comments, “as time went on I found
my time being drawn more and more into
the installation of windows and doors, in
particularly conservatories and porches.
“I have always used Synseal’s Global roof
system and find it incredibly easy to fit. I
found myself in a position 18 months ago,
where I needed to look for an alternative
supplier and Skyview Roofs in Tysley,
Birmingham was recommended to me, so I
approached them.
“After a number of quotations, I won a

products for several years, and has developed
a deep understanding of the system and
products, so when they advised me they were
introducing Sysnseal’s new Warmcore bifolding door to their portfolio, I jumped at the

builders, and also recommended Warmcore
for inclusion on several architectural projects,
but the opportunity to fit came whilst working
for a local builder, who had been appointed to
do a massive home improvement project on a
luxury £700k property in Solihull.
“The homeowner had already invested in a
loft and garage extension and also wanted to

extend the rear of the property and fit a new
kitchen.
“Not having measured or fitted a Warmcore
door previously, I turned to Skyview for
assistance, and they were pleased to assist, I
even got VIP treatment, with John Sewell,
Skyview’s owner coming out on site to help
me survey and measure up to ensure I got it
right.
“As usual, the doors were manufactured
to the lead times promised and installation
went incredibly smoothly,” Allan adds, “at the
same time, the extension was also fitted with
a Skyframe and global roof lantern to add
additional light for the homeowner.
“I believe that Warmcore gives installers
more advantages than that of standard
aluminium folding door systems, and with its
