DESIGNED TO recognise outstanding design and installation skills as well as inspire installers around the country, the Atlas Installation of the Year Awards is always hotlyanticipated. And, according to Gareth Thomas, sales director at Atlas Glazed Roof Solutions, the standard this time round has been higher than ever.
“ It’ s been a truly amazing year, with an astonishing range of installations setting ever-higher standards,” he said.“ The quality of these installations is just incredible and it’ s so gratifying to see our installer partners really making the most of the Atlas range of products.”
Taking the top spot was Village Conservatories with a stunning L-shaped orangery. Bringing together aluminium, reclaimed brick, glass and two large Atlas
Village Conservatories
lanterns, the design impressed the judges with its clever use of space around the home, great finishing touches and the quality of installation given the challenges it created. The finished orangery shows off the roof to its best, with a sleek minimal appearance reflecting Atlas’ s‘ More Sky, Less Roof’ approach.
Second place went to March 2017 winner Vale Orangeries from South Wales. The judges loved the way the design for a light and airy ultra-modern extension used a full range of glazing products, including the Atlas
Vale Orangeries
Keymer Double Glazing
Flat Rooflight, and cleverly made the most of the space. In third place was Vision Conservatories, who won in May. The design for a home in a Wiltshire village successfully bridged the addition of a contemporary extension to a traditional house, using a bold pyramid lantern to create a striking look. The judges were particularly impressed by the seamless combination of old and new, the use of an otherwise redundant space in the garden and the choice of lantern for maximum light.
This year’ s winner of the special Innovation Award was Keymer
Vision Conservatories
Double Glazing from West Sussex; for a one-off extension on a grand, multi-level property combined the clever use of space with a large Atlas lantern to create as much light as possible in an underground extension, which the judges loved.
Congratulations to all this year’ s winners and, with the monthly competition between Atlas installers as hotly-contested as ever, the team at Atlas is looking forward to honouring even more amazing designs in 2018.
