Thermal efficiency and the ability to keep properties warm and insulated is now, with UK regulations, becoming increasingly important to homeowners and business owners. Plus, with energy price rises over recent years, many home and business owners are actively seeking out glazing, roofing, windows, and doors that can offer them super low U-values and energy efficient value add to keep the warmth in during the winter, and their properties comfortable in summer.
NW Rooftech, a market-leading nationwide supplier of whole-house fenestration products, has been delighting installers and property owners since 1996, and they continue to seek innovation today. The team has been busy compiling an ultimate All-Season product portfolio that will enable their trade customers to get their end users Winter and Summer ready with one clear glazing choice.
Andy Ingman, managing director of NW Rooftech explains: “With its typically impressive U-values of 0.8 W/m2K triple glazing appears to be the ideal solution; however, it is renowned to be extremely heavy meaning that it can wear down or damage hinges and locks over time, and is much more difficult to install due to its sheer weight.
“Based on our regular communications with our trade installers we knew we needed to offer something which would be a complete game-changer to the trade in terms of ease, speed, value-add, and earnings, whilst also hugely benefiting property owners to keep the seasons out, costs down, offer additional benefits to solve excessive solar heat and noise pollution, whilst maximising heat retention when it is most needed.”
