NOT ALL SOLID REPLACEMENT ROOFS ARE THE SAME SAYS LEKA SYSTEMS

The rise of home working and increasing concern about the environment means the solid replacement roof market is growing at pace. But it pays to choose your solid roof system carefully, because there’s a big cost to making the wrong decision, especially right now. This is the view of Rhys Hoddinott, Managing Director at Leka Systems, home of one of the most innovative solid roof systems on the market today. He says: “Not all solid roofs are comparable. Leka roofs offer value in more ways than one.”

Leka products have always attracted attention because of their thermal efficiency. With U values as low as 0.12 W/m²K, Leka roofs dramatically outperform common glass and polycarbonate roofing systems – as well as other solid roof systems. The incredible thermal efficiency is partly due to the GRP construction, which, as Rhys explains, is something that brings cost benefits too.

He says: “Leka roofs don’t use aluminium, which means we aren’t being affected by the huge increase in aluminium prices. Fabricators and installers using aluminium are having to pass price increases onto consumers because they can’t absorb them any longer. Because we don’t use aluminium on our roofing products, this isn’t something we’re having to do.” The GRP construction also makes the roof incredibly lightweight, which means it can often be used without additional reinforcing, helping to keep time and costs down even further.

Leka Systems saw 40% sales growth in 2021 thanks to success and uptake from its growing fabricator network, proving that the products offer what today’s installers are looking for. Leka fabricators also benefit from exclusive regional partnerships, as well as comprehensive and proactive support, including training and technical advice. Rhys concludes: “If you want products that maximise your customers’ opportunities, there’s only one solid roofing system you need. It’s the warm roof from Leka Systems.” Tel: 0800 773 4040 – www.lekasystems.co.uk

The revolutionary Garden Room Designer from Making Your Space makes the process from enquiry through to order seamless, the company says and it’s also a platform that can be dropped on to other websites and specifically for their expanding network of Design Partners.

As home improvement season begins to unravel, homeowners are now actively looking at ways in which to extend their living area with many now enjoying the benefits of a hybrid home/office working environment. A garden room is the ultimate additional premium space, but until now the challenge has been to find a way in which these functional rooms can be designed individually. The Garden Room Designer from Making Your Space follows considerable investment in the business and allows a bespoke room to be created in 3D in just a matter of minutes. Sizes can be changed at the click of a mouse as can the location of windows and doors, roof overhangs added and even internal electrics and skirting boards can be added, along with other useful functionality. Everything can also be priced in real time for a finished priced, with garden room costs fully customisable at the back end. From a consumer’s perspective, a finished design and price can be agreed at a single sitting and a confirmed order also sent directly to Making Your Space for checking and production scheduling, as part of a paperless process. Ryan Crossley, director of Making Your Space commented: ‘We’re in the digital era now when you build a car on a configurator and even chose the options on your new home in 3D. With this investment in technology, we’re enabling our design partners to create bespoke garden rooms in real time and with the option of an installed price, based on carefully audited and customisable build and installation costs. It also removes the need for a garden room show village, given the level of detail and the availability of our mini-pods for sales and marketing purposes.’ For further information on becoming a Design Partner for Making Your Space and their trade only range of premium garden rooms, please call 01422 385613, visit makingyourspace.co.uk, or e-mail hello@makingyourspace.co.uk.
