Following the ‘overwhelmingly successful’ launch of the Garden Room roof in 2012, Prefix Systems has launched a new canopy option.
While the conservatory market may have fallen from the ‘lofty heights’ of 10 years ago, according to Prefix, the opportunities for the Garden Room are ‘considerable’ both for new installations and for the replacement market, which is estimated at around 3million conservatories.
A number of Prefix customers are already said to be generating leads by the week for Garden Rooms, as they look to satisfy the consumer demand for new ways of extending their living space and the new canopy feature provides an area to sit in the shade during the day and a place to relax under light in the evening.
Prefix believes that its Garden Room roof, conceived back in 2006, has ‘rejuvenated the fortunes’ of many installers and now thanks to the expertise of Tim Harris, Prefix’s structural engineer, the company is able to advise customers on structural issues when it comes to conservatory and garden room roofs.
With the recent changes in planning that came into effect in May 2013, more homeowners can now build their garden room under the guise of permitted development, thanks to the larger house extensions regime.
Chris Cooke and Chris Baron, co-directors of Prefix, commented: “The design brief for our Garden Room roof was that it was thoroughly engineered and tested with the involvement and input of a number of our customers. Now, the launch of the canopy option, which is part of our on-going development process, clearly shows that we are taking a lead in re-defining the conservatory sector.”
