G19AWARDS
RAISE THE ROOF FOR DOUBLE
G AWARDS NOMINATION
Atlas Glazed Roof Solutions has been named as a finalist in
not one, but two categories at the forthcoming G19 awards.
» » THE GLAZING
industry’s prestigious and longest-
standing awards event, the G
Awards attract hundreds of entries
from businesses throughout the
industry, and this year Atlas is up
for two awards - ‘New Product
of the Year’ and ‘Promotional
Campaign of the Year’.
The nomination for ‘New
Product of the Year’ recognises the
major advances that Atlas made
in glazed lantern design when it
launched Lantern 2.0 in January
this year. Developed by a team of
technical experts, Lantern 2.0 is the
slimmest, lightest, finest looking
and most thermally efficient lantern
that Atlas has ever created.
The fully integrated marketing
campaign behind Lantern 2.0
helped to propel this premium
product to phenomenal success
in its first year. Spreading the
message that Atlas has set a new
benchmark in glazed roofing, the
campaign has been nominated for
‘Promotional Campaign of the
Year’.
Surrey-based Sherborne
Ltd is an experienced Atlas
installer and has fitted many
Atlas Lantern 2.0 lanterns this
year. Chris Long, managing
director of Sherborne Ltd,
added: “As a proud G16
Awards winner ourselves, we
know that the awards are an
important industry event. It
comes as no surprise that Atlas
has been nominated for two G
awards – the new lantern looks
magnificent and it’s exactly
what homeowners want. It’s also
incredibly quick and easy to
fit, which is why installers love
it. Atlas are very worthy award
finalists and we wish them the
very best of luck on the night.”
The G19 winners will be
announced at the awards
ceremony and gala dinner, which
will be held at the London Hilton
on 29 November. The new Lantern 2.0 from
Atlas features a fully aluminium,
thermally broken ringbeam,
which has been reduced in size
by 55% to make it lighter, better
looking and more thermally
efficient than ever. The new
lantern also incorporates a
refined ridge topcap, which is
25% thinner than before, to
achieve incredibly slim sightlines
when viewed from both above
and below. To give the lantern
continued external elegance, the
height of the ridge top cap has
also been trimmed by nearly
50%.
changing customer needs. By
absorbing rather than reflecting
light, SPECTRAL offers a denser,
richer quality of colour, and
because it is velvet to the touch, it
feels just as good as it looks.
“It uses next generation
surface technology to create an
extraordinary finish that simply
cannot be matched by any
other matt PVCu surface on
the market. It is highly scratch
resistant, has anti-fingerprint
properties and is also extremely
resistant to UV light, extreme weather conditions and harsh
chemicals. Dirt can be wiped
away with ease, for a product that
stays beautiful for longer.
“We’re delighted to be
shortlisted and we’re pleased to
see a number of our partners
shortlisted in their respective
categories too. Best of luck to
all the nominees. We’re looking
forward to another great night
celebrating our industry’s finest in
November.”
