STRUCTURAL STABILITY 

A conservatory roof is a complicated engineering structure that must be capable of withstanding the harshest elements that the British weather can throw at it.  If you have watched the Ultraframe Test Report video above you can see that our conservatory roof system will stand up to winds in excess of 130 miles an hour.  In fact prior to manufacture all our roofs are structurally checked to ensure they meet stringent wind and snow loadings based on the height above sea level at the installation address.

TIE BARS 

As part of the structural stability testing tie bars may be deemed necessary for your roof style and if so, will be supplied and must be fitted to ensure that there is no possibility of the eaves beams spreading due to the downward force of snow loading on the roof.  Ultraframe also offer a tie bar replacement kit which can  eliminate the need for traditional tie bars on some styles of conservatory - please ask for details.

THE REASSURANCE OF A QUALITY BRAND - All our self assembly conservatories feature Ultraframe Conservatory roofs because they are engineered for the extremes of the UK climate and are approved by the British Board of Agrement(BBA)to last at least 25 years. Ultraframe roofs are the only system to have passed the USA's BOCA system, the toughest testing regime in the world.

CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY - Your new self build uPVC conservatory will be supplied with a certificate that can be passed onto future owners of the property to confirm that the conservatory does feature a genuine Ultraframe conservatory roof.

Here are just three of the standard features provided with our self fit conservatories using the Ultraframe roof system:

FREE ULTRASELECT EAVES TRIM

Now you can personalise your conservatory with the addition of an Ultraselect decorative eaves trim. Choose from many different options to make your new conservatory your own and you can even change the trim later for a fresh design.

FREE EAVESFLOW™ VENTILATION

Ultraframe conservatory roofs feature patented eaves trickle ventilation as standard with ridge ventilation as an option. For additional ventilation to the roof space of your conservatory consider specifying manual, electric or rain sensor roof vents. This valuable additional ventilation is especially recommended if your conservatory is south facing where long hours of constant sunlight in the summer months will lead to heat build up in the roof space.

FREE CONSERVAFLASH™ 

Save money and installation time compared to traditional lead flashing.  Conservaflash is a replacement pvc flashing system that is easier and faster to fit than lead and the product does not pose any threat to the enviroment. The product includes and extruded soaker that is pre-clipped to the roof starter bar, stepped flashings to suit 5 different roof pitches, a saddle flashing that fits over the ridge and a universal horizontal flashing for lean to conservatories.  Installation is easy - simply chase out the host wall with a grinding wheel and fit the pre-formed apron flashing and silicone for a perfect finish.
