GUARDIAN ROOF UNVEILS NEW WEBSITE, VIDEO AND MOBILE APP FOR 2016
Guardian Roof has unveiled three new digital innovations for 2016 to
transform the online experience for customers and Guardian Registered Installer Scheme members.
The hat trick of new digital assets feature a new mobile app; a new website; and a digital animated video that reveals the secret installation process behind the UK’s leading warm roof supplier for the first time.
The website includes new functionality and content including the 3D-model animated video that takes the viewer on the complete installation journey from the removal and recycling of the old conservatory roof; through the patented precision
fitting process to the final fitting of the LABC-approved Guardian Warm Roof.
In addition, the Guardian Roof mobile app is a new exclusive benefit for Team Guardian registered installers focusses on slashing administration workload and improving the customer experience.
The app is also designed to simplify processes for field teams and roofing managers wherever they might be.
It has built in functionality, especially for reps that visit established clients on a recurring basis, to perform customer service and field management functions. And it has all been designed thanks to feedback from Team
Guardian members of all sizes.For Guardian Roof, Ross Darcy said: “Ever since we launched Team Guardian we have listened to our customers needs and our members’ commercial challenges - whatever they may be. I think that the website and video will offer a leap forward in people’s understanding of our Warm Roof technology. It’s about complete transparency for customers, and giving our installers the tools they need to answer any questions that arise.
“This app is another step forward in demonstrating how we can use the latest technology to make life simpler for our registered installers. Times are changing. And I think that some fabricators and installers who fail to keep
Conservatory Mag • www.mytrade.tv • 7
pace with new technology risk getting left behind. I remember the bad old days when it was all faxes, random emails and back-of-a-fag-packet cost calculations. You just can’t get away with that anymore.
“The app is our latest improvement to bring everything together. And We expect our customers along the whole of the product life cycle to experience tangible benefits too. And our new digital advances for 2016 represent more exciting improvements in the Guardian Warm Roof customer experience.”
Earlier this year Guardian Roof unveiled new sales software for members of its Team Guardian Registered Installer Scheme later this month.
The new software improved Team Guardian installers’ efficiency and conversion rates; plus help increase capacity for Team Guardian fabricators. Developed exclusively for Guardian Roof by RoofWright, the software can produce an infinite number of designs using over 200 unique templates and five Metro tile designs.
The software also focuses on customer experience and new commercial benefits. It enables Team Guardian installers’ associated retailers to engage customers directly in the design process using virtually-rendered real-time graphics.
And the software offers massive time savings; allows for instant precise pricing of jobs; and, features structural checks to guarantee the integrity of each job. Further process time savings are predicted to transform fabrication capacity.
Last year Guardian Roof launched a new Team Guardian membership drive targeting a total of 200 accredited installers.
In less than four years, Team Guardian has already established a network of 23 fabricators and over 150 team guardian installers throughout the UK.A Guardian Warm Roof is best installed by a
registered Team Guardian installer. The scheme is designed to allow homeowners verify Team Guardian Registered Installers, and prevent competitors falsely claiming to supply the patented roof system.
In addition to the right to install Guardian Roof and access the new software, Team Guardian Registered Installers enjoy additional exclusive benefits including full training; sales models; official Team Guardian ID’s and lanyards; promotion on the Guardian Warm Roof website; and crucially, leads from a local fabricator.
More information about Team Guardian is available by calling 0800 0665832 or visiting here.
The new Guardian Warm Roof app is now available on IOS and Android.

ROOFLIGHTS FOR TRADE FLYING OFF-THE-SHELF
Last month saw the launch of a new range of
Rooflights from the aluminium SMART and
Schueco fabricator Alumen. Thanks to their
heritage and deep understanding of the capabilities
of aluminium as a building material, Alumen has
spent the last 6 months developing a truly top
quality aluminium rooflight range. With a good
number of leads coming in, these products, with
intelligent design, great looks, simple installation
and fast lead times, are flying straight off-the-shelf.
Alan Robinson, Managing Director comments:
“When we launched our new range of rooflights to
the trade last month, we hoped there would be a
lot of interest – but even we have been surprised
by just how high those levels have been! Designed
specifically for better aesthetics, smoother operation
and representing value for money, trade customers
now have the choice of off-the-shelf fixed, manual
and electric opening, square and pyramid rooflights
in addition to bespoke options including integral
lighting, temperature control packs and a variety of
glazing options. All with secure, weather tight and
moisture resistant frames, the range comprises three
distinct families – the Aether, Helios and Olympus
brands.”
“Available for next day delivery in a variety of sizes, we
can offer customers choice: for a contemporary, clean
square shape, Aether is our flat fixed square rooflight
consisting a strong square line frame and glazed
edge to edge for minimalist styling and available
with walk over option; with the same technical
properties as Aether, Helios is our chamfered edge
option fixed rooflight and is available as a manual
opener or upgradeable to an electric opening with
optional weather pack for even more added value.
These rooflights provide controllable ventilation as
well as modern good looks. Our pyramid option is the
Olympus with its internal and external aluminium
trim for a clean stylish finish consisting of a strong,
weather tight, secure frame at a 45 degree pitch. Fixed,
manual or electric opening options are available with
internal lighting and the size can be extended into a
fully opening larger roof lantern.”
“All of these options offer top quality engineering at
a cost that offers the trade a great opportunity to
complete and add value, choice and margin to their
rooflight sales. Topped off with next day delivery, easy
online ordering, tailor-made marketing support and
of course an installation manual, our aim is to open
up this growing market to even more installers and
builders across the UK. Call us now for limited period
special offer of free next day delivery.”

SELL MORE WINDOWS, SELL YOUR BUSINESS, PAY LESS TAXOnly the FIT for business seminar programme
features these key issues and many more…
The FIT for Business seminar programme
has been announced and once again
sessions have been included that strike
right at the heart of the key issues facing Britain’s
window and door fabricators, installers, specifiers
and other professionals.
For glass and glazing business owners such
issues as ‘Exit Planning’ are covered, a subject
facing hundreds of business owners looking to
sell or hand on their businesses; and of course,
another session looks at the resultant issues
regarding taxation.
Broader topics relating to legislation are also
covered by The FIT for Business seminars which
look closely at important factors in the planning
and specification fields, with presentations
covering Glazing in Conservation Areas for
example; and BIM – Building Information
Modelling – a key subject for any companies
involved in public works. And an issue that simply
cannot be ignored are MTCs…every installer
should understand how MTCs are affected by the
Building Regulations.
A FIT Show regular is sales guru Paul Clifton, who
breaks from his UK tour with his Window Installer
Sales Lab to tell delegates ‘How to transform
your business from Average to Fortune’. Sales
Superstar Paul’s previous presentations have
filled the theatre and demand is bound to be
high for his next daily show. Another highlight
is the UK debut of SageGlass, the amazing glass
that tints on demand. A live demonstration will
be possible following a full installation of the
product in the exhibition hall itself.
Divided into four groups of presentations:
Industry; Public Sector & industry; Business; and
Specification & Design the 2016 FIT for Business
Seminars are up-to-the-minute and topical,
presenting 22 sessions over three days on key
subjects delivered by the foremost experts in
their fields. Many presentations are followed by
Advice Clinics in which one-to-one sessions with
the presenters will be possible, on a first-come,
first served basis.
Attendance to all sessions is free of charge to FIT
Show visitors. The full programme can be seen at
www.fitshow.co.uk/seminars where visitors may
also register online to receive regular updates
about The FIT Show and for when they visit,
smooth their way into the halls and seminars.
The Fabricator Installer Trade (FIT) Show takes
place at The International Centre Telford on 12th,
13th 14th April 2016. Visitors can reserve their free
tickets now by visiting: http://www.fitshow.co.uk/

DEMAND HEATS UP FOR UNI-BLINDS® WITH WARM EDGE SPACER BARS
Sales of Uni-Blinds® sealed units with integral blinds inside have risen by 32 per cent in the last 12 months – and remain the only blind
system in the UK to include warm edge spacer bars as standard.
Ian Short, managing director of Uni-Blinds® manu-facturer Morley Glass & Glazing says: “Fabricators and installers are recognising how the inclusion of dedicated warm edge spacer bars within Uni-Blinds® helps to upsell their windows and doors without compromising on thermal performance. Their customers can enjoy A rated energy efficient windows with integral blinds that help to reduce heat loss and improve a building’s energy perfor-mance.
“We know that homeowners increasingly understand the massive contribution that highly insulating win-dows and doors make to reducing energy bills and improving comfort. We fit the warm edge spacer bar across our integral blinds range to make compromise a thing of the past so customers can benefit from the privacy and aesthetics that Uni-Blinds® deliver.”
As Europe’s biggest fabricator of integral blinds us-ing the market-leading ScreenLine® systems, Mor-ley Glass & Glazing works closely with the Italian system’s manufacturer Pellini to accommodate warm edge spacer bars into its product range.
Ian adds: “The warm edge spacer bars that we use are similar to those used by the majority of sealed unit manufacturers serving the A and B rated windows and doors market. The added benefits of integral blinds, which are not adequately reflected by the Window Energy Rating (WER) scheme, are the extra layer of in-sulation along with the powerful solar shading to keep homes cooler during summer months. These added benefits are giving smart installers a great opportunity to enhance their window and door proposition, increase thermal efficiency and their profitability.”
The Uni-Blinds range provides the widest choice of integral Venetian blinds in double and triple glazed units, with all manual, solar and motorised versions available in the industry’s shortest lead-time of 10 days from any Friday.
Morley Glass & Glazing provides unrivalled techni-cal support for Uni-Blinds® customers too, being the only UK supplier of integral blinds to have dedi-cated customer support engineers on the road. It also stocks the largest range of ScreenLine® system spare parts in Europe.

GLOBAL UPVC DELIVERS THE PERFECT REMEDY AT HISTORIC HOSPITAL SITE
More than 700 high quality windows and doors were supplied and installed by Global UPVC at a prestigious development
on the historic Caerphilly Miners’ Hospital site.
The Beeches Village – an award winning scheme – was delivered by an innovative partnership of housing association United Welsh, Caerphilly County Borough Council, housing developer Lovell, the Welsh Health Service and the Caerphilly Miners Community Group. Completed in January 2015, it has created 82 homes for sale and for rent on the site. All homes have Legend casement windows and French doors from long-standing local Synseal fabricator Global UPVC, whose Managing Director Jon Dowse credits much of the company’s ongoing success in the commercial market to the Legend system:
“We use only Legend and have done for over ten years,” says Jon. “So many of our clients keep coming back and inviting us to bid for more work that we can hardly keep up with the tenders. To me, that is the best possible commendation I could hope for from any system. It’s a good looking window that performs well but also from our point of view, it is easy to manufacture. Our work is mainly in new-build but we do a bit of everything and Legend suits us whatever we are doing.”
Legend is one of three 70mm PVC-U window systems created by Synseal, along with the chamfered Shield and sculptured SynerJy with its innovative j-form curves. Legend was first introduced to help installers gain a greater presence in the commercial sector, but has since also become a favourite in the retrofit market with a choice of chamfered or ovolo profiles.
Brian Walker, Synseal’s Fabrication & Development Manager, comments: “I visited this site on a number of occasions during the build process and there has been a consistent high quality of frame manufacture and installation in all the homes throughout this landmark new housing project.”
Built in 1923, The Miners’ Hospital was paid for by the miners of the Rhymney Valley after they each put aside 6d out of their weekly wage of 12s 6d to raise the £30,000 needed.
The Miners’ Hospital closed in 2011 with services transferred to the new Ysbyty Ystrad Fawr hospital in Ystrad Mynach. The redevelopment of the site has been shaped in close consultation with the local community. A key element of the scheme was the preservation of the original Miners’ Hospital building which has been retained and leased to the Caerphilly Miners Community Group for use as a community centre. Other community legacy benefits have included five apprenticeships created by the development. The Beeches Village was recently named Development of the Year in the Welsh Housing Awards; earlier in 2015 it also won the Residential category in the 2015 RICS (Royal Institution for Chartered Surveyors) Awards for Wales.

FUTURE FIT SHOW DATES & VENUE ANNOUNCEDWINDOW, DOOR & CONSERVATORY TRADE EVENT MOVES TO NEC IN 2017
FIT Events Ltd, organisers of The Fabricator
Installer Trade (FIT) Show, has announced
the dates and venue of events to take place
after 2016.
From 2017 The FIT Show moves to the National
Exhibition Centre (NEC) Birmingham, the UK’s
premier exhibition venue, taking place in Halls 6
and 7. May 23rd, 24th and 25th have been chosen
for 2017, with the following FIT Show to take
place two years later at the same venue on 21st,
22nd and 23rd May 2019.
The decision to move to the NEC comes after
extensive research to find another venue as the
event had outgrown its original Telford location.
A spokesman for the organisers said: “A move was
inevitable to handle the continuing demand for
exhibition space and to allow the development of
the event generally, including visitor numbers. For
now however our focus and priority in every respect
remains the April 2016 FIT Show which takes place
at The International Centre Telford on 12th, 13th
and 14th April.”
The Fabricator Installer Trade (FIT) Show takes
place at The International Centre Telford on 12th,

LABSS APPROVAL GRANTED FOR CELSIUS SOLID ROOF
The recently-introduced Celsius Solid Roof
system from Synseal is now fully approved
and registered by the LABSS (Local
Authority Building Standards Scotland) as checked
for compliance with Scottish Building Regulations
under certificate number EWS550.
Construction of a completely new solid roof or
replacement of an existing conservatory roof with
a retrofit solid roof involves a statutory obligation
to submit a Building Regulations application. The
scope of Synseal’s updated certificate number
EWS550 now covers England, Wales and Scotland
to facilitate mandatory legal technical compliance
procedures for site locations in all three countries.
The thermal performance specification to meet
Scottish Building Regulations is more demanding
and the required U-value of 0.15W/m2K
(calculated to BS EN ISO 6946:2007) is achieved
by supplementing Celsius Solid Roof’s standard
Envirotile, breathable membrane and 142mm
Kingspan TEK structural insulated panel roof
assembly with a Kooltherm K18 insulated dry
lining plasterboard internal finish to provide an
additional non-bridged layer which is 42.5mm
overall in element thickness.
“The market opportunity for retro-fitting existing
tired old conservatories is significant and our fast-
fitting Celsius Solid Roof has a traditional all-
timber core construction to provide a truly warm
yet relatively lightweight structure that will not
unduly stress existing conservatory window walling
structures and foundations,” comments Synseal’s
Head of Marketing, Mark Schlotel. “Celsius Solid
Roof has been carefully designed to avoid excessive
loadings and weighs the equivalent of our popular
Global or K2 aluminium/PVC-U conservatory roofs
glazed with toughened roof glass.”

HELIOS BECOMES ACTIV
Alumen Ltd, the established SMART and Schueco window and door fabricator, has added a shade of blue to its new
Rooflight range. Launched in December, the new range of Rooflights offers trade customers a quality, value for money, off the shelf product. And now the offering has expanded further with the option to upgrade with Pilkington’s Activ Blue glass.
Ken McMichael, Technical Director at Alumen comments: “The success we have seen in a short space of time with our new Rooflights has quickly led to the expansion of the range with the addition of Activ Blue glass as standard to our most popular Helios range. We selected Activ Blue as the perfect addition, in line with our existing window ranges.
“The unique coating applied to the glass is self-cleaning, has solar control that filters out heat entering through the glass but still offers good light transmission, and lasts for the lifetime of the glass. The attractive blue colour is perfect for
roof glazing as it enhances the view from inside to out, even on a grey day. Rolled out as a standard upgrade option on Helios - the flat rooflight with a contemporary chamfered edge and available as fixed or opening systems – means it is held in stock on our standard sizes ranging up to 3200mm x 1200mm and available on next day delivery across the UK.
“Ordering online is easy and delivery is free for limited time. With over 45 standard options in stock across the entire range why not visit www.alumen.co.uk/Shop/Shop-Home.aspx to order now?”

SPECIAL WINDOWS FOR A SPECIAL PLACE
GM Fundraising is renowned for its relationship with Hope House Children’s Hospice, and the glazing industry charity
was proud to step in and offer its assistance recently by calling on its supporters to do what they know best – fit windows!
“When Hope House mentioned in passing they were having some new windows installed, I couldn’t believe how much they had been quoted,” comments Gary Morton, Chairman of GM Fundraising. “Using our contacts at Central RPL, we arranged for the new windows to be fabricated and fitted, courtesy of Reliant Windows, at no cost to the hospice. This, once again, is testament to the overwhelming generosity of our industry”.
Simi Epstein, Director of Fundraising and Marketing at Hope House Children’s Hospices
adds: “We were stunned and delighted when GM Fundraising offered to contact companies in the glazing industry to provide the windows we needed free of charge. We had been quoted £7,000 to replace the old windows, which for Hope House is a lot of money which, had we been given the choice, we would rather have spent on the children. GM Fundraising has given us that choice and we can now use that money for what we do best – supporting and caring for children and their families. On behalf of all the children and families who will benefit, thank you so much.”
