WENDLAND GLASS ROOF NOW EVEN BETTER

Wendland has announced a wide range of advances to its popular Glass Roof , which mean it looks even better and offers time and cost savings to installers .
Commenting on the advances , Wendland Brand Manager , Chloe McGrath , said : “ Our Glass Roof is already highly popular thanks to being fitter-friendly , value for money and looking great and now it has been made even better .
“ One of the biggest updates is that the Glass Roof is now available with an Eaves Super Bolster or Combined Bolstered Eaves . Wendland has always had a range of light , standard , heavy and super-duty bars that are used to make sure the right bar is used for the right span , engineering
the roof to be as low cost as possible . Now we have value-engineered the beams using the new bolsters , which are
only needed on the side of the spans . This means our installers can offer larger spans and be sure that they are keeping costs
low , just as you would expect from Wendland !”
Available in a range of standard colours or any RAL on request , the bolsters further reduce deflection , allowing for even wider door openings and meaning that costly goalposts aren ’ t needed . They also reduce installation times and look great too thanks to a new Bolster End Cap .
Another structural update to the Wendland Glass Roof is the new reinforced 265mm Box Gutter which allows for larger spans up to 5.8m . The new box gutter also reduces installation times and means that gallows brackets are not required .
Sure to be popular with fitters is Conservaflash ; now available as a simple-to-order option on the Wendland Glass Roof . A preformed
PVC flashing system suitable for a range of angles along with a straight flashing option for lean-to ’ s , Conservaflash is BBA approved , saves time and cost on installations , and is a greener alternative to lead .
Chloe continued : “ Along with the updates already mentioned , there are some further ones that make the Glass Roof look even better . These include a new External Corner Fascia Cover and a new Half Ridge Crown Cap . Together , all of the structural and cosmetic advances to the roof mean that the Wendland Glass Roof is now more versatile , more fitter-friendly , more cost effective , and looks even better .”
