ATLAS INSTALLATION OF THE YEAR WINNERS ANNOUNCED
Designed to recognise outstanding design and installation skills as well as inspire installers around the country, the Atlas Installation of the Year Awards is always hotly-anticipated.
|
This year’ s panel of judges once again included the editors of Glass and Glazing Products and Windows Active and they had the unenviable job of sifting through the monthly winners.
Taking the top spot was Village Conservatories with their stunning L-shaped orangery. Bringing together aluminium, reclaimed brick, glass and two large Atlas lanterns, their design impressed the judges with its clever use of space around the home, great finishing touches and the quality of installation given the challenges it created.
Second place went to March 2017 winner Vale Orangeries from South Wales. The judges loved the way their design for a light and airy ultra-modern extension used a full range of glazing products, including the Atlas Flat Rooflight, and cleverly made the most of the space.

In third place was Vision Conservatories, who won in May. Their design for a home in a Wiltshire village successfully bridged the addition of a contemporary extension to a traditional house, using a bold pyramid lantern to create a striking look.
The judges also announced that this year’ s winner of the special Innovation Award was Keymer Double Glazing from West Sussex. Their one-off extension on a grand, multi-level property combined the clever use of space with a large Atlas lantern to create as much light as possible in an underground extension.

CRL glass and glazing systems make Build Show debut
C. R. Laurence( CRL) exhibited its leading range of glass doors and shower doors, architectural systems, and glass processing tools and accessories for the first time at the Build Show, as part of UK Construction Week 2018.
The impressive 72 square metre stand, located on B530, showcased many of CRL’ s best-selling and most innovative solutions that visitors to the show were able to see and learn about for the first time.
Among these were the new CRL Langle Al-Wall ® Rain Screen system. Creating a protective, modern envelop around new and old buildings, the system is quick and simple to install with no need for glass cutouts. With plane and imbricated glass façade options, the Al-Wall ® Rain Screen is made from premium coated aluminium, for a highly durable and long-lasting finish.
Equally intuitive is the popular CRL 2018 TA- PER-LOC ® system, enabling glass balustrades to be completely installed from the safe-side, eliminating the need for scaffolding, cutting installation times and providing safety and security for installer and end user. Visitors to the Build Show benefitted from live demonstrations of this unique system’ s installation by CRL’ s team of experts.
CRL’ s Juliette balconies are very easy to install too. The system comprises of four connectors that are easy to anchor to wood, concrete or steel fascias, and two handrails to secure the glass in place in just a few minutes.
