Taking the Limelite
Aztec’s Limelite orangery details have
enabled a Wirral-based conservatory
installer to win a big sale.
»»Design uPVC has been
using the Aztec conservatory roof
system for over a decade. Partner,
Mark Newton was so impressed
with Aztec’s new Limelite system
that he included it on at his own
home.
“Limelite gives the benefits of
the orangery look, without the
added expense and time issue
associated with constructing a flat
roof with an aperture covered by
a smaller rooflight, “ explained
Aztec Conservatory Roof Systems’
managing director Tim Franks.
“Limelite has been purposedesigned to be quick and easy
to fix inside the roof, adding a
creative interior to the finished
orangery. From the fabricator’s
point of view, it enables them to
achieve added value.” explained
Tim.
‘achieve added value’
Limelite comprises a
lightweight steel ladder
framework supplied already cut
to size, which is plasterboarded to
create the orangery appearance;
it can be further enhanced by
insertion of spotlights.
Originally designed and
engineered by conservatory fitters,
Limelite addresses the common
fabrication and installation issues
inherent in other roofs, the core
roof system can reduce on-site
build time by up to 30%.

A Winning Profile
»»The Window
Company (Contracts) has even
more to celebrate than being
voted Installer of the Year in
the G14 Awards – it has also
been awarded a 1,000-frame
contract after teaming up with
Glazerite Windows Ltd and
VEKA.
The Chelmsford-based
commercial installer was
looking to bid for the job,
which specified the VEKA
system by name, after an earlier
supplier contract fell through.
Managing Director, David
Thornton explained: “We had
contacted a number of VEKA
suppliers and Glazerite came
back with the right price –
and the right attitude. Since
then, we have partnered with
Glazerite and VEKA products
on a number of other projects
and we are very happy with our
working relationship.”
The contract, via main
contractor Keepmoat Homes
and Ipswich Borough Council,
was for all 1,000-plus frames
in 108 new houses, the biggest
housing project the borough
had undertaken for half a
century.
The Window Company
(Contracts) has worked with
many public authorities and
housebuilders throughout the
South East since it came into
being in 2010.
