Fruitful solution for Orangeries

Edited by the Buildingtalk editorial team Jan 4, 2008

Sarnafil Roof Assured perfect flat roofing solution compliments the overall roof design, guarantees watertightness and adds lasting performance at The Orangery.

The Orangery name is derived from the original use of the building as a place where citrus trees were grown in tubs and wintered under cover, but today it is a stylish all year round addition to any home.

The vast majority of Orangeries require a flat roofing solution and traditional methods have often failed in terms of aesthetics and weathering performance.

While the installation of the glazed area in timber, pvc or aluminium is to a very high standard thanks to high quality materials and manufacturing expertise, it's the flat area of the roof in particular that can benefit from better materials and installation practices.

With all flat roofs, effective draining and lasting performance is paramount, given that these areas cannot easily be inspected due to restricted access and height.

Thanks to low maintenance modern materials and a proven system both in the residential and commercial sectors Sarnafil Roof Assured can offer Orangery installers a better method.

A number of these companies have now adopted this, satisfied that the product adds value to the overall project and also works alongside more traditional materials such as timber windows and timber glazing bars.

Mark Harris, marketing manager for Sarnafil Roof Assured comments: "The applications for our flat roofing solution reach far and wide".

"Our solution for Orangeries provide a better overall finish than traditional felt-based solutions and is backed with the confidence for long-term performance that an independently assessed 40 year BBA certified product gives.".
