How to manage the stresses of driving. van drivers ONE-BOX ROOFING SOLUTION Providing both swift installation and a realistic slate-effect, next generation SlateSkin is the latest enhancement Eurocell has developed for Equinox, its innovative tiled conservatory roof system. Together, SlateSkin and Equinox create the most advanced system currently available. Now with ‘multi-course’ tiles built in to each sheet, the SlateSkin GRP system reduces the time spent positioning and nailing tiles, with no compromise on build quality or aesthet- ics, while its lightweight construction allows the roof pitch to be set anywhere from just 5o to 35o. SlateSkin is the only tile system tested down to a 5o pitch and hence is ideal for lean-to projects, which comprise up to a quarter of all UK conservatories. Guaranteed for 25 years, the SlateSkin sheet-tiling system is not only durable but also considerably faster to fit than other conserva- tory tile roofing methods. In fact, it can typically save two operatives a whole day when compared to fitting Tapco tiles. When combined with the Equinox system, it meets the requirements of BS 476 Part 3:2004 for the External Fire Performance of Roofs, the classification for fire penetration. Using the technical sup- port that Eurocell provides, installers can be sure of getting the right fit first time, every time. Once it has received the all the dimen- sions, Eurocell engineers will create all the compo- nents required, including the tile sheets, hip end caps and ridge and hip top cap using state-of-the-art equip- ment. SlateSkin is just the latest complementary product developed for the Equi- nox roofing system, which features solid insulation panels integrated in the structure for superb thermal efficiency – approximately ten times better than an ‘A’ rated window. The result is a more comfortable living environment that costs less to heat or cool because it is insulated from the ambient temperatures outside, mak- ing it warmer in winter and cooler in summer. The system also has a 5-35o pitch variable ring beam assembly that Story continues on page 2 % FIRST ORDER DISCOUNT * 10 LOWEST PRICES AVAILABLE 5 FROM Reliable and efficient Quote turnaround within hours Competitive roof glass prices * Offer applicable to new customers on your first roof only, based on a like for like comparison * Postcode restrictions apply PRO-INSTALLER_front_page_Roofs_FEB 2018.indd 1 SITE E FRE £ UK Precision fabrication Expert plan and estimating service D WHY CHOOSE MADE FOR TRADE FOR YOUR NEXT GLOBAL ROOF?
