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.” www.epwinwindowsystems.co.uk 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. panoramicgroup.co.uk/ pano-glass/ 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. www.conservatoryoutlet. co.uk UTF adds Visofold 1000 bi-folding doors Trade fabricator Uni- versal Trade Frames has just added Visofold 1000 bi-fold- ing doors to the already im- pressive range of products it has been collating and cultivating since 1996.
