There is no greater proof
that a product like Korniche
has made a mark on the
industry than seeing com-

up, looking to pick up on
one or two aspects of the

THE BEST ALL ALUMINIUM LANTERN ROOF
minium Lantern has already
achieved an affinity with
both trade and homeown-

overturn. No other lantern
has the overall winning

delivers.
From quotation to de-

working days for a total-

It’s time for the glazing in-

trade association that does what
a trade association is supposed to

an industry. As well as helping
installers improve their profes-
sionalism with practical business
advice and training, it’s their job to
be the representative voice for the
industry at Government level.

and getting their views on the in-
dustry, we knew that there was an
