Our success has not come to us on a plate, comments Anne-Marie Busch, Marketing Manager.

Originally only supplying what is now known as the Icoroof – our standard pitched roof, Icotherm now also offers Ico600, low Icotherm roof range - Ico600, Icoview, Icospan pitch solution with a unique contemporary roof covering; Icoview, our very own hybrid roof; and Icospan, the flat roof option, ideal for orangeries.
