extension specialist’s Ultrapanels
are the subject of its New
Product of the Year nomination.
Ultrapanels, which are currently
used in the roof of the Ultraroof
tiled roof system, are a true
technical innovation, with their
simple structure creating strength,
as well as avoiding labour
intensive battening, and offering
unrivalled thermal performance as

The panels are a revolution in
strength, thermal efficiency and
ease of installation. They also
have an ingenious expansion
mechanism that means tolerance
gaps are removed and a perfect
fit is guaranteed every time with
no need for on-site adjustments,
further reducing installation time.
This exciting technology is unique
to Ultraframe.
Meanwhile, the outstanding
support package offered to
Ultraroof users is up for the
Customer Care Initiative award.

installation, to bespoke training
courses tailored to the training
needs of each fitter/company,
support by every means including
phone, email, WhattsApp, and a
host of written and video how-to
guides covering every stage of the
