PROUD SPONSOR OF ROOFLIGHTS & LANTERNS
ROOFLIGHTS&LANTERNS
More class to roof glass
The UK’s leading manufacturer, distributor and recycler
of PVC-U glazing and roofing systems is giving
fabricators and installers even more choice
in its range of industry-leading lantern roofs
with the new flagship Skypod Black Edition.
» » AS THE NAME SUGGESTS, THE
latest Skypod features a premium all-matt
black external frame, adding to the range of
six architectural colours already available.
Aluminium ridge and rafter top caps offer
exceptional weather performance and UV
stability, which historically have been particular
challenges with black roofing products.
The result is a sleek, modern rooflight design
that’s sure to be hugely popular with style-
conscious customers looking to bring more
natural light into their flat roof extension or
garage conversion. The Black Edition is available
in square, two-bar and three-bar configurations,
all with 20 degree pitch, and five self-cleaning
glass colour options. Fabricators can choose
between sourcing in bar
length or kit forms. And as you might expect,
the Black Edition is also available with a matt
black internal finish, for those seeking a truly
architectural appearance.
Even with its additional material costs,
Eurocell maintains that the Black Edition
offers outstanding value for money given the
value it adds to the average home and because
the ‘wow factor’ it creates far exceeds the price
of the product. This also allows for generous
margins which, combined with advanced
features that practically eliminate call backs,
such as thermally broken ridge and ring
beams to prevent condensation, make each
installation more profitable and hassle-free for
installers. For peace of mind,
the Black Edition also carries the standard
Eurocell 10-year guarantee to cover any defects
in materials or manufacture.
The demand for rooflights in the domestic
and commercial markets shows no signs of
slowing down and by responding to trends
for premium darker colour solutions, Eurocell
continue to open up new opportunities for
their trade customers.

FROM THE BOXING RING TO THE ‘PREMIER’ LEAGUE
» » CHRIS MULLEN, SALES
director at Premier Roof Systems
started in the industry at the age of
16 manufacturing UPVC windows,
then became a floor manager at the
firm by the age of 18. After a six-
year professional boxing career, at
the age of 24, he thought it would
be a great idea to start Premier Roof
Systems Limited with business
partner Jamie Blackwood.
AND IT WASN’T JUST
A GREAT IDEA, IT WAS
A KNOCK-OUT…
“Premier Roof Systems is a
national supplier of a variety of
glass, polycarbonate and solid
conservatory roof systems. We
also manufacture and supply a
variety of market leading roof
lanterns. Typically, Premier Roof
Systems is a trade supplier but
have an online shop; open to both
domestic and trade.
“Typically, the main focus of
Premier Roof Systems is to become
the industry leading company
within the fenestration industry.
We’re a strong team of incredibly
hard working individuals who share
the same company vision. We’ve
grown significantly since founded,
have an ambitious growth plan and
are committed to success.
“We have an ambitious
growth plan and are committed
to success. There are so many
options for a solid roof nowadays
and a variety of materials used
for a solid roof conversion.
The addition of opening roof
windows and glazing panels
incorporated in the roof systems
means light and thermal
efficiency aren’t compromised
when creating an all year-round
living space out of an old and
un-usable conservatory.
“From March 2011, fabricating
the Eurocell conservatory roof
system, we’ve always kept up to
date with the market and the up
and coming products. After 12
months, we hadn’t seen the huge
potential in the solid roof market
and decided to add the Guardian
warm roof to our product range.
Since then, we’ve added a variety of
roof lanterns such as the Eurocell
Skypod, the Korniche roof lantern,
the Atlas range and we have very
recently become an Ultraframe
conservatory roof fabricator.
“Such a variety makes selling
much easier as we have a product
for just about every application.
There isn’t a product out there
that ticks all of the boxes therefore
from a supply point of view, we
need to be a solutions supplier;
and we think we do just that.”
