AWARD FOR
INNOVATION
THE BEST ALL ALUMINIUM LANTERN ROOF
The Charles Godfrey Memorial Award for
Innovation is given every year to a product that
has brought significant innovation to the building
industry… The Korniche Aluminium Roof Lantern
has achieved this prestigious award for 2018.
Roger Bisby, who test-
ed the Korniche earlier in
the year, commented: “The
first thing I saw was the
packaging. Every builder
knows the frustration of
having items arrive on site
with damage. It slows the
job down and causes hassle
for the manufacturer; and
the customer. Often there is
a knock-on effect because
other trades are unable to
get on. With the Korniche
Roof Lantern, everything ar-
rived in perfect condition.
“The next thing is the in-
struction booklet, which de-
serves as award on its own.
