RECORD GROWTH FOR IPSWICH TRADE FRAMES
ADDING VALUE TO FABRICATORS ’ PORTFOLIOS
Fabricators looking to increase turnover should take a look at what LEKA products have to offer .
There are three reasons why the LEKA Orangery Roof and the LEKA Warm Roof offer such great opportunities to fabricators .
Firstly , there ’ s the changing conservatory market and the trend for conservatories to become higher value spaces that deliver greater flexibility . Orangery and orangery-hybrid installations have seen impressive growth in recent years – up 38 % in 2016 .
The second reason is the exceptional ability of the LEKA Orangery Roof and the LEKA Warm Roof to deliver on homeowners ’ aspirations to create these flexible living spaces . They deliver U values of just 0.15 W / m ² K , so they create the year-round room homeowners are looking for , as well as offering a wealth of other practical and aesthetic benefits .
The third reason is the practical benefits they give installers . The products are jhai-approved , all materials are pre-cut to exact specifications and there are fewer elements to install than on a traditional solid conservatory roof , so on-site installations typically only take between one and three days .
