Elevation Concept
Showcased at Glassex 06
One of the undoubted stars of Glassex 2006 was our conceptual Elevation conservatory, demonstrating the flexibility of the Elevation system to produce dramatic new designs for lean-to projects.
The conservatory included a number of revolutionary features which, combined with the contemporary styling of Elevation, became the talking point of the show. Firstly, the pitch of a traditional lean-to roof slopes down away from the house which can restrict the pitch of the roof due to the difference in height between the top of the door at the front of the conservatory and the underneath of the soffit of the house. The concept design used a standard box gutter at the back of the conservatory and the roof raked upwards towards the front. This, combined with the side frames splayed outwards, gives an aesthetic and contemporary appeal normally associated with higher priced conservatories.
The concept was the creation of UK Design and Development Director Andrew Thomson, who said of the design "When owners of the conservatory sit inside and look outwards they have an expanding perspective both horizontally and vertically, thereby reinforcing the impression of a sweeping, spacious environment. The conservatory market is trending towards glass roofs; therefore the exhibit included Ultraframe's newly improved high performance Conservaglass."
Due to the overwhelmingly positive feedback that we received during and after the show regarding the Elevation concept display, we are working hard to offer these concepts to our customers as part of our product range. Please revisit this site to get updates on this and other product developments.
