DRIVING HYBRID
PERFORMANCE
IN SOLID ROOFS
The launch of the WARMroof
Hybrid solid roof solution from
Prefix Solutions has been a re-
sounding success. There has been
a great amount of interest and
many orders since the FIT show,
where it was officially launched
with installation companies keen
to present consumers with an
impressive, hybrid solution for the
solid roof market.
WARMroof is already a bench-
mark for performance and ad-
aptability in the solid roof sector
and the recent introduction of the
Hybrid variant brings in a new
dimension in terms of product de-
sign. This hybrid development pro-
vides considerably more light than
even the largest roof lights, Velux
or otherwise, with large eaves to
ridge fixed triple glazed units.
These 44mm units boast an
impressive U-value of just 0.6 W/
(m2K) with a self-clean coating
and are finished off with stylish
OPUS hardwood claddings to the
internal frame and slimline ridge
section, for a truly premium finish.
Typical bar centres are 750mm,
which offers an accurate 700mm
of vision with full eaves to ridge
glazing.
The WARMroof system has been
built on a structurally proven
aluminium chassis with fixed
joint technology and so the added
weight of triple glazed units can
be easily accommodated. For
large spans, there is also a stylish
OPUS hardwood strut that can be
incorporated into the roof design,
which has been part of the prod-
uct development process, led by
Prefix.
For conservatory replacement
projects, there is also the option
of the Retro-Fix posts and Multi-
beam, which add proven structural
strength to cope with the addition-
al weight of the solid roofs. It’s
also an important consideration
that WARMroof and the Hybrid
variant have been design, engi-
neered and are manufactured by
Prefix Systems and so there’s no
risk or worry from third party
manufacturing. Throughout the
WARMroof development pro-
gramme, Prefix Systems have
adopted modern off-site construc-
tion techniques to ensure a speedy
and easy installation process.
Chris Baron, co-director of
Prefix Systems commented:
“WARMroof Hybrid is the most
impressive roof type of its kind in
the sector and we have designed
it for maximum light transmission
with the best triple glazed U-value.
With the adoption of premium
hardwood claddings to the glazed
frame and slimline ridge section,
there’s also a real premium feel to
the end installation.”

WARMroof
HYBRID
The WARMroof Hybrid options allows even more light
to flood into the room. The Hybrid option is the perfect
solution for homeowners who worry about reducing the
amount of light that a conventional conservatory provides
when they choose a solid roof option. The glass panel
is 44mm triple glazed and provides a 0.6 U-Value - the
best performing roof of its type, keeping the room highly
energy efficient.
