PROUD SPONSOR OF INDUSTRY NEWS INDUSTRYNEWS Made For Trade Korniche Success at the Homebuilding & Renovating Show at ExCel London » » IT’S FAIR TO SAY THAT TAKING the Korniche Aluminium Roof Lantern to ExCeL was a huge success and had an immensely positive impact on everyone who came along to see the Korniche stand. As a trade business you may ask why we would take on consumer-oriented advertising and the considerable expense of shows such as Homebuilding & Renovating? Our key aim in this exercise is to inform and educate homeowners about Korniche and help develop sales for our distributors, retailers, installers and building clients nationwide. Although Korniche is now well established and a firm favourite amongst builders and installers thanks to the exceptional speed and ease of on-site installation, the finer points of what makes a good, or a bad, glass roof lantern are still a relative grey area to many homeowners and consumer shows provide the ideal place to educate the end user. With total product transparency and encyclopaedic Korniche technical knowledge the Made for Trade team helped the public weigh up the pros and cons of all the other products on the market and then laid bare the Korniche lantern by demonstrating the full installation process in front of large crowds throughout the show. The roof demos enabled homeowners to see the ease of fit and to see and feel the quality of engineering and reasoning behind the innovative features of the product. It’s something that no other Lantern manufacturer could perform in front of an expectant crowd without exposing how they rely on silicone, onsite cutting, drilling, packing etc all adding up to substantially more time to successfully install their conservatory roof- based systems. Feedback from the London Show for the Korniche was amazingly positive with prospective customers commenting on the high quality, extensive range of colour and design choice all topped off by the roof being 8 » N OV 2018 » CL EARVI E W- UK .

Korniche really has proved to be a solution that delivers ‘more for less’ when compared to the other glass roof lanterns available. ‘high quality, extensive range of colour and design choice’ We also got a chance to see first-hand the way that consumers and homeowners in today’s market are prepared to do plenty of product research of their own before choosing finishing products for their build projects and not just be happy to accept what the builder usually uses, and whilst there will always be a preference based purely on the aesthetic, quality well engineered products offering innovation and critically, choice, to the end user become a prospect that’s hard to ignore. This insight from the homeowners has provided us with confidence that the Korniche lantern will become ‘the’ lantern of choice for homeowners looking for flat roof extension project solutions.
