70 DOORSETS COMPLETE 21ST CENTURY DES RES
detail to deliver a high quality fin-
ish. The position of the mullions
was key in ensuring the sightlines
were intact with the first-floor
frames and also gave internal
clearance for the stairs. Conver-
sations with the Epwin Window
Systems technical team helped
us develop the right solution.
We used the structural mullion
profiles not only between the
shaped frames and doorset frames
but also between the doors and
side lights. This gave us the high
quality aesthetic finish the project
required.”
In addition to the support
of the Epwin Window Systems
A conversion of a Victorian
warehouse into residential accom-
modation has used Spectus Elite
70 doorsets to stunning effect.
The project had two entrances
and the doorsets were manufac-
tured by Derbyshire-based Spectus
fabricator Titan Trade Windows.
The clients chose a bevelled pro-
file in cream, with one entrance
replaced by a single residential
doorset set into a glazed section
and the other by large French
doors.
Ben Vowles, Operations Man-
ager at Titan, says: “The project
needed exceptional attention to
technical team; to ensure the
project was completed to the
standard required, Titan worked
closely with the installer, Leices-
tershire’s The Right Window
Company.
Ben concludes: “The level of
support we were able to offer
thanks to the technical team at
Epwin Window Systems meant
The Right Window Company
had the confidence in us to
manufacture and deliver the
doorsets. This in turn allowed
them to focus on the installation
and care for their customer.”

Panoramic ‘Floats’
Flat Roof Extension ‘fantastic example’
Idea For New Integral of industry-leading products
Blind System
Wakefield-based fab-
ricator, Conservatory Outlet
Ltd, has this week launched
an innovative new flat roof
extension solution; The
product, which has been
launched as part of an
ongoing commitment to
innovation at Conservato-
ry Outlet, offers a unique
alternative to traditional
timbered flat roofs, with its
lightweight frame making
it the most configurable
pre-manufactured flat roof-
ing system on the market.
Panoramic Group has
launched its new Float-
ing Integral Blind system,
a highly innovative new
product that allows users to
manoeuvre the blinds from
both the top and the bottom
of the unit, providing a
much more precise level of
adjustment than any other
offering on the market, at a
much lower price point and
with super-fast lead times.
Unique to the Panoramic
Group, the new manually
operated floating integral
blinds may well be a more
cost-effective option than
other integral blind systems
on the market, but that
is not at the expense of
quality. In fact, Panoramic is
producing them with warm
edge spacer and Planitherm
4S Glass, which combines
market leading solar control
and thermal insulating
properties to reflect 56% of
unwanted heat in summer
months and ensure 63% less
heat loss compared to ordi-
nary double glazing.
Available initially in white
or grey but with more col-
ours to be introduced as the
product develops, all units
will be manufactured in the
Group’s Northampton based
glass processing facility,
Pano Glass, alongside the
company’s new state-of-the
art ‘switchable’ offering,
on a rapid 10-day lead
time from point of order to
delivery. Panoramic Group
will be taking orders from
mid-July 2019.
Panoramic Group inte-
gral Floating Blinds will be
bespoke and made to order,
ranging in size from 150mm
x 250mm to 1,000mm x
1,950mm with larger op-
tions becoming available in
the coming months.

Michael Giscombe, Man-
aging Director at Conserv-
atory Outlet, explains: “The
unveiling of our new flat roof
extension is a fantastic ex-
ample of our desire to bring
new and unique products to
market. Combined with our
Network buying power, we’re
able to consistently be first to
market with industry-leading
products like these, ensuring
our customers are always
at the forefront of a highly
competitive marketplace.
We’re constantly looking at
the future direction of the
home improvement industry
and working closely with
our supply chain to design
and launch products that
push trends to the next level,
whilst making them as quick
and painless to install as pos-
sible for our customers.”
Compatible with several
lantern and flat skylights
in the Conservatory Out-
let range, its understated
appearance makes the
roof ideal for minimalist,
contemporary designs, yet it
also works well with more
traditional extensions. The
roof boasts multiple options
for incorporating extended
walls and soffits with asym-
metrical design for a cut-
ting-edge appearance. With
a maximum beam length of
7m one direction and unlim-
ited the other, it is fantastic
for larger projects too.
