SLIDERS UK HAS announced the launch of a new aluminium lantern roof system alongside its extensive range of aluminium and PVCu bi-folding, inline sliding and composite doors.
Capable of spanning openings of up to 5.8m long by 4m wide, the Ultimate Rooflite by Sliders UK, has been designed to offer installers a highly flexible but also competitive product.
|
Steve Mines, Sales Director, said:“ We manufacture two aluminium bi-fold door systems, which nine times out of ten go into orangerytype installations.
“ Starting manufacture of what is a highly competitive lantern roof, alongside our established door offer was the logical step.
“ We have the manufacturing capability, the expertise in aluminum and the distribution network. It means we can deliver roof lights and doors direct to site as a single source supplier and against a single order.” Mines continued:“ It’ s a very accomplished and stable roof, making installation straight forward. In common with the rest of our product range, we also offer on-site support including an assisted fit on first-time installations.”

The Ultimate Rooflite by Sliders UK is based on the tried and tested BBA approved Ultraframe Classic roofing system and is suitable for installation as either part of a new build orangery or retro-fitted to a flatroof.
With a thermally broken aluminium ridge and glazing bar system, the Ultimate Rooflite achieves typical U-values of 1.4W / m2K. Glazing options include self-cleaning, solar control in blue or neutral tints.
Colour and finish options include standard white PVCu or powder coated aluminium options in white, anthracite grey or satin black.
The easy-to-install system has also been designed to be selfdraining with an overhang on each side which means there is no need to install a gutter.
|
“ It gives us a very comprehensive but also flexible offer, which sold alongside our established bi-fold and patio door ranges, delivers some potentially very high margin opportunities to installers.”
Sliders UK’ s wider product range already includes established aluminium bi-fold product offers from ALUK and the Ultimate Evolution, which features a highly innovative fully adjustable jamb option.
This makes it far simpler to align the door, even where apertures are out of square- cutting installation times to as little as 45 minutes.

SOLID ROOF conservatories are one of the biggest opportunities for installers in 2017 and the East Midlands’ largest trade fabricator, Frame Fast UK, is supporting installers with its Equinox solid conservatory roof system.
Many homeowners don’ t use their conservatories for much of the year because they don’ t provide a comfortable temperature. Fitting a new conservatory roof means it can be used season after season.
Frame Fast has been manufacturing roof systems for the trade for 20 years and was one of the first fabricators to supply Equinox to customers.
The Equinox roof system’ s lightweight design makes it easy for installers to replace
|
conservatory roofs faster. It’ s highly insulated so it improves the thermal efficiency of any conservatory. It has a 10-year guarantee too, providing peace of mind for homeowners. |
Nigel Leivers, Director at Frame Fast says:“ We provide expert advice and fast turnarounds on Equinox for installers looking to win more business in this growing market. The system is suited to any |
type of conservatory design, with a choice of slate or steel tiles in a number of colours. It’ s really fast to install and we can arrange first time installation assistance.
“ Homeowners are realising the benefits a solid conservatory roof can bring to their existing conservatories in terms of thermal efficiency and how they can lower energy bills. They are a really good long-term investment.”
Installers can visit the Equinox solid conservatory page on Frame Fast’ s new website to find choices on roof finishes and colours as well as technical information and brochures.
Nigel adds,“ We provide the complete Equinox roof kit to installers including the insulated plasterboard, tiles and fittings for fast, easy installation.”
