CONSERVATORIES
All Sky - No Roof!
»»A NEW GENERATION IN FLAT
rooflight design has been unveiled by Atlas
Glazed Roof Solutions. The Flat Rooflight,
which brings ultimate performance and
maximum light in a sleek, minimalistic design,
complements the industry-leading range of
aluminium conservatory and lantern roofs
from Atlas.
Created to deliver ‘ALL SKY AND NO
ROOF’, this ultimate performing fixed Flat
Rooflight features a 27% slimmer overall
frame height than its rivals to achieve a flush
glazed look with minimal internal and external
sightlines. It delivers an outstanding complete
roof (glass and frame) U-value of 1.3 W/m2k,
without the need for triple glazing.
The New Flat Rooflight is the best looking
and the highest thermally performing, double
glazed, flat rooflight on the market thanks to
its bespoke structural PVC-u internal core
and sleek aluminium internal and external
capping. Fitted flush to the internal plaster,
the rooflight appears frameless from below to
create the illusion of an open roof space.
Gareth Thomas, Sales and Marketing
Director at Atlas Glazed Roof Solutions,
said, “We are really excited to launch this
sensational product, which has been designed
to open up the roof space and cast the
maximum amount of light into a room for
a dramatic effect. Aesthetic functional and
price competitive, it delivers superior thermal
properties and slim internal and external
sightlines that are unmatched. And just like
the rest of the Atlas range, it has been carefully
developed to be extremely fitter-friendly so
it is very easy to transform a mundane flat
roof into a breathtaking light pool. It is the
ultimate flat rooflight, which delivers on all
fronts.”
The frame can be simply screwed from the
side with hidden direct fixings or from the
underside with a strap fixing. Unlike many
alternatives where the plasterboard visibly buts
up to the glass, this system features a clever
internal plasterboard pocket for easy bordering
and plastering. The clip-in aluminium external
weather bar and internal cover trim provide a
crisp, subtle finish to the rooflight. Insulated
kerb upstands are also available if required.
The rooflight’s five degree pitched kerb allows
water to drain off the glazing unit on to the
existing flat roof.

PRESERVING A PERSONAL TOUCH
Conservatory Outlet, has restructured its order
processing department to preserve the personalised
service it delivered as a smaller company.
»»THE FABRICATOR’S TEN-STRONG
order processing department has been split
equally into two teams which will serve twelve
clients each.
Between 2012 and 2015 the Wakefieldbased PVCu and aluminium manufacturer
doubled its turnover whilst strictly honouring
its one-client-per-region network business
model.
The new order processing teams will be led
by two of the most experienced individuals
in the business – Darren Pollard and Phil
Wilson – who between them boast nearly two
decades of company experience.
Darren is now in his tenth year as a manager
at Conservatory Outlet and, across eight years,
Phil has spent significant periods of time in
several crucial departments, including order
processing, IT and purchasing. The members of
staff within Darren and Phil’s respective teams

have been carefully selected so that each team
has the optimum skillset to support the clients
that they are responsible for.
‘nearly two decades of
company experience’
Michael Giscombe, managing director, said:
“It is important that, throughout growth, we
continue to enable close working relationships
between the people in our business and
our customers’ businesses. The service
that we offer to each client is based on a
sound understanding of their operational
procedures, specification preferences and
technical requirements – knowledge that we’ve
been able to accrue thanks to our business
model and purposely restricted number of
customers.”
