SUPALITE LAUNCHES UNRIVALLED BRAND- NEW FLAT ROOF SYSTEM INTO THE MARKET

Following an intensive period of research , development and years of success in lightweight tiled roofing systems , Prestonbased roof specialists SupaLite have added a brand-new flat roof orangery system to their existing portfolio of products .
The new flat roof system , known as ILite , is unlike anything else on the market with its incredible strength , durability and extraordinarily quick installation time . It also exceeds building regulation requirements by offering an impressive u-value of 0.13w / m 2 K , meaning it outperforms most competitor roof systems and traditional orangery constructions . Wes Clarkson , Sales Director of SupaLite , explains : “ This latest product has been specially designed , manufactured and tested to ensure it is one of the strongest , most thermally efficient and quickest to install flat roof orangery systems on the market .
“ Most flat roof orangeries that are made in the
conventional way can take days , sometimes weeks , to construct and complete . We know from experience that time can be a massive challenge for installers and so we wanted to create something which helped to combat this . The ILite system can typically be built in hours , saving huge amounts of time on site .” Factory fabricated in the UK , the new flat roof orangery has a unique design which has been successfully engineered with products that should last a lifetime , as Wes explains .
“ The timber I-Beams that have been used in the ILite system can reach spans of approximately five meters without the need for extra support . They are also lighter than conventional large timber trusses
and steel , resulting in less pressure being placed on the supporting walls and frames .
“ By being manufactured from high quality oriented strand board ( OSB3 ) web and flanges made from Kerto laminated veneer , the I-Beam joists deliver outstanding strength and rigidity – virtually eradicating movement and instead creating greater overall strength and performance .”
When SupaLite was first introduced to the market back in 2012 , the company rose to prominence by providing installers with a product which eliminated the dramatic changes in temperature seen in traditional conservatories . Ten years later and this continues to be a key factor for
new SupaLite products , as Wes highlights .
“ Our renowned SupaLite Tiled Roof System is well known for its incredible thermally efficient qualities . We wanted to make sure this was replicated with the brand-new ILite so the design includes multi-layered insulation , totalling 170mm , and an additional vapour control layer to guarantee warmth in the winter months .
“ Like all SupaLite products , the ILite was rigorously tested by the team to guarantee the design of a high-quality complete system . As a result , the ILite exceeds most other competitor roof and orangery systems with a u-value of 0.13w / m 2 K .
“ We ’ re incredibly proud to launch this exciting new system and it ’ s already generating lots of interest amongst our customers . It makes the perfect addition to our existing unrivalled SupaLite products , and we
look forward to continuing rolling it out to the wider new build and retro-fit market .”
Trusted by fabricators and installers across the UK , SupaLite offers a full range of highly-desirable , replacement roof solutions for both conservatories and orangeries all of which have achieved building regulations approval .
