Atlas Glazed Roof Solutions has credited its new Lantern 2.0 for helping the business achieve ‘exceptional’ sales in the first quarter of 2019, with Q1 figures up by 26%.
Gareth Thomas, sales and marketing director at Atlas Glazed Roof Solutions, said: “This is the slimmest, lightest, finest looking and most thermally efficient lantern that we’ve ever created and our first quarter figures prove that these are exactly the qualities that homeowners and installers want in a lantern.
“We put all our engineering and design expertise into creating this new generation roof lantern, which is the slimmest non-bonded roof in the industry. It has certainly raised the bar both in looks and performance, but where this lantern stands head and shoulders above any other system is just how quick and easy it is to fit – and you just can’t underestimate how important that is for installers who need to maximise their time on site to boost their profit margins. With such a brilliant first three months behind us, we can’t wait to see what the rest of the year brings for Atlas and our customers.”
One of the first customers to sell the new Atlas lantern was Bridgend-based Lumina Design and is now reported to be selling an average of 50 of them a month.
Justin Stone, managing director at Lumina Design, said: “We’re really impressed with the new Lantern 2.0 from Atlas. We sell to the trade and the DIY homeowner, so it’s vital that our products are very straightforward to fit and the new Atlas lantern couldn’t be easier. I say if a customer can put together a piece of flat pack furniture then they can definitely install an Atlas lantern – it’s that simple.”
Lumina is said to be on course to achieve year on year growth of at least 15% this year. “This is our sixth year in business and our sustained growth during that time is in no small part down to our partnership with Atlas and the products they make,” added Justin. “We’re selling more Atlas roofs than ever before and that’s because homeowners are now asking for Atlas by name. They see Atlas roofs in showrooms and in other people’s houses and they simply don’t want anything else. They think it’s the best out there and we do too!”
