ROOFLIGHTS& LANTERNS
Winning ways for best
rooflight and lantern system
“We couldn’t fault this product in
any way. It ticks all of the boxes.”
» AT THE GLITTERING INAUGURAL
Conservatory & Orangery Awards on October
30th the Korniche Aluminium Roof Lantern
picked up yet another independently judged
award - Best Rooflight and Lantern System and
even though not launched yet achieved a finalist
position in the Technical Innovation Category
for the Korniche Bi-folding doors composite
clip-in bead system which when launched in
2020 will be a huge benefit to installers.
The C&O Awards are a response to the
continued growth in consumer demand for
additional living space and the high-quality
products now available from our industry.
Made for Trade identified the demand
for a purpose built roof lantern for flat roof
extensions which inspired the company
to develop the Korniche - a product that
offers the consumer a strong yet beautifully
proportioned glazing solution whilst delivering
a product for builders, installers and stockists
that is both highly profitable whilst being fast
and easy to install on site.
Having achieved the Professional Builder
Award for Innovation earlier in the year. This
award cements the Korniche Roof Lantern
as best in class - applauded by those who
have installed the product for it’s simplicity,
strength and engineering and now recognized
by an impartial panel of industry experts
The Korniche Lantern continues to be
well received by the consumer - Made for
Trade ensures the brand is highly positioned
within the industry and provides excellent
value in marketing support. MFT also goes
to great length and expense to build trade
partner demand for the Korniche brand by
exhibiting at Homebuilding & Renovating
Shows throughout the year, the products also
profiled through BBC renovating programmes
and showcased by presenters on social media
channels.
With such a buzz around Korniche
Aluminium Systems now is the time to
become a Korniche Trade Partner and installer
- without doubt the best value aluminium

Two roof glass
brands, combined
technical capabilites
» CLAYTON GLASS IS A MULTI-AWARD-
winning business that has again been listed as
one of the 1000 Companies to Inspire Britain
in 2019. Its SMARTGLASS product long
been associated with outstanding quality and
performance and now the recent acquisition of
the Celsius Glass brand brings further product
capability to customers.
Ryan Green, managing director of Clayton
Glass commented: “We want both the Celsius
and SMARTGLASS brands to enjoy cross selling
opportunities with the ultimate conservatory
roof glass offering and this is a major plus for
customers. While we continue to invest in
further service initiatives, we’re also undertaking
careful research and development to create the
next generation of specialist glass for the glazed
roof and bi-folding and patio door markets.”

From a technical perspective the customers
of both Celsius and SMARTGLASS now
have additional brand propositions and
technical capabilities to promote to discerning
consumers. With a market leading U-value
of 0.9 W/(m2K), Celsius Elite is the first
dedicated conservatory roof glass to achieve a
sub 1.0 rating, while SMARTGLASS Ultra 86
is the sector benchmark for a g-value of 86%.
For trade partners, this means that they can
now choose the best glass for each individual
project and to support consumer demand.
Together this means that customers can offer
both brands with the backing and support
of an award-winning business in the form of
Clayton Glass. #TheClaytonDifference has
been a service initiative that has really captured
the imagination of customers across the
business for the last two years. Ultimately, it’s
our commitment to invest and implement a
better way of doing business by combining IT
solutions with an outstanding level of customer
care.
With the combined resources and expertise,
a research and development programme is
now being introduced to help realise a next
generation glass solution, that offers both a
market-leading U-value and g-value in a single
IGU. At the same time there are other product
developments being looked at for glass roofs,
along with bi-folding and patio doors options.
