Sunroom, the stylish new roof solution

Linda Doughty, Marketing Director at Ultraframe, said: ‘We recognised the need for a fitter friendly new roofing system that simplifies the installation process of highly complex roof shapes. Sunroom gives installers the opportunity to supply a distinctive conservatory roof that appeals to the new generation of homeowners, who are looking for a modern and stylish, high quality and value for money product.’

Clicklock technology

The pioneering roofing system utilises Ultraframe’s innovative Clicklock Technology. This ‘boltless’ technology is designed for ease of installation and ensures perfect structural integrity.

The Ultraframe Sunroom system includes the option of box gutters, in standard or large capacity, slimline valleys and dropped ridges which help make it the ultimate in design configurability. These features provide an almost limitless number of ways to cover a conservatory footprint allowing installers to realise their customers’ wildest dreams. The wide range of unique designs offered by Sunroom include ‘P’ and ‘T’ shapes, single or double ended, bay or square fronted, and floating add-on or integral wrap around styles. Designs can be tailored to create distinctive roof shapes that will complement virtually any home, including bungalows. (For example, a drop-down hip and slim-line valley can be used to join two ridges of different heights and create an attractive two tier roofline on ‘P’ or ‘T’ shaped roofs.)

Sunroom spans up to 4.8m x 4.8m with a choice of 24mm/25mm polycarbonate in five colours, although tie bars, available in either a traditional or new contemporary style, can be simply added to extend projections even further. With glass in the roof Sunroom spans 3.5m x 3.5m and Ultraframe has additionally designed a clever glass clip to prevent slippage. Sunroom is available in four colours and, like all Ultraframe products, is supported with full BBA accreditation.

Linda Doughty continued: ‘Sunroom offers homeowners market leading thermal performance. It employs thermal sleeving and has a controllable stack vent trickle ventilation system which minimises heat leakage and condensation. A typical 4m x 4m Sunroom roof has a ‘U’ value of 1.7 making it, along with Ultraframe Elevation, the most thermally efficient roof available. This means that customers have the ultimate in comfort and installers have the added assurance that Sunroom meets the projected thermal performance guidelines expected in forthcoming Building Regulations.’

Sunroom also has many additional features to produce a flawless, contemporary finish. The revolutionary Invertabar glazing bars ensure a stylish reversed bar profile creating sleeker internal lines. The roof is topped with a unique finial design with low profile ridge and optional clip-on cresting. Six exclusive new Ultraselect styles are also available to add a personal touch to the interior of the conservatory – one of the styles can even be painted to personalise the room further.

Linda Doughty concluded: ‘The fast fitting and cost saving benefits, coupled with the attractive distinctive style and flexible options for Ultraframe Sunroom, are going make this a hugely popular conservatory roof. Not only will our customers find it extremely good value, they will have the confidence that the conservatory roof benefits from market leading thermal performance, and a contemporary design their customers will love. However, the achievements of Sunroom will not stop here. Ultraframe will be continuing to develop this roof system over the coming months to offer even more unique styles and further expand the boundaries of configurablilty.’
