ROOFLIGHTS LAUNCHED IN RESELLER MARKET FIRST
Ikon Rooflights – a new brand from industry
leader Sunsquare – has brought BSI-
Kitemarked rooflights to the reseller market
for the first time. With two pioneering flat-
roof skylight designs, the new range offers
verified quality and unbeatable margins,
with prices starting from just £445.
» » AVAILABLE EXCLUSIVELY
for distributors, the new Ikon
rooflights boast unrivalled design,
thermal performance and safety
credentials, with competitive
pricing that allows resellers to
benefit from unmatched profit
margins. They are also the only
skylights for resellers that hold
the BSI (British Standards
Institution) Kitemark – a
renowned mark of quality.
Mark Lambert, Sales Director
at Ikon Rooflights says: “For a
long time, prohibitively high
pricing has made Kitemarked
rooflights completely inaccessible
for the reseller market. This
has left distributors having to
compromise, unable to offer
top-quality products at a margin
that makes commercial sense.
We’ve developed Ikon to change
all this.
“Put simply, Ikon rooflights
are the very best resellers can get,
at a price that can’t be beaten.
Both the new Ikon Air and Ikon
Pureview are built to the
highest quality, efficiency and
security standards, each holding
a BSI Kitemark – and all at an
extremely affordable price point.
For the first time, this gives
builders’ merchants and other
windows and glazing distributors
the opportunity to meet rising
demand for quality, with a
product that really competes on
price.”
The launch brings to market
two new product models. The
Ikon Air is a stylish, electronically
opening rooflight that provides
fresh air at the touch of a button.
The robust, fixed Ikon Pureview
offers a clear sightline and
frameless look. They are quick
and easy to install, and both
models are available as stock in
eleven sizes, with delivery within
just seven working days.
Mark continues: “Unlike
most other brands, Ikon offers
the electronically opening Air
model as stock, providing resellers
with an excellent

upsell opportunity when selling
standard fixed rooflights. The
team behind Ikon has more than
15 years’ experience specialising
in flat-roof skylights, so we know
how important benefits like
these are for distributors. Our
pricing is another part of this,
allowing resellers to secure the
margins they need. What’s more,
knowing all Ikon products are
regularly, independently tested
to destruction and backed by a
10-year warranty, they can have
complete peace of mind too.”
Ikon rooflights feature
laminated glass as standard: the
safest, most reliable option on the
market. They are also the only
skylights for resellers that hold
a BSI Kitemark for the whole
product (not just the glass).
Even electronic components are
CE marked by the BSI. Fully
thermally broken, Ikon rooflights
have unparalleled U-values –
incorporating polyamide
thermal breaks to conductivity
that provide an effective barrier
between internal and external
temperatures and guard against
cold bridging and condensation.
Upon signing up as a
distributor for the new range,
Ikon’s reseller partners will be
assigned their own customer
relationship manager who will
provide start-to-finish support
(from stock requirements through
to marketing). They will be given
access to a password-protected
portal – www.ikonrooflights.
co.uk – where they can place
orders, pay, check statements
and track order deliveries, as well
as sales leads for further profit
opportunities.
