Preston-based tiled roof specialist, SupaLite, unveiled the new S2 conservatory roof at the FIT Show.

The S2 conservatory roof system is said to be the result of three years of intensive product development by Garnalex.

Those who joined the team for the reveal also went on to enjoy a pint of SupaLite’s specially brewed beer.

With its design inspired by the tried and tested K2 roof, SupaLite says the new S2 conservatory roof marks an ‘impressive evolution’ in roofing technology. Complete with a selection of multi-chambered PVC-U or aluminium top caps exclusive to Garnalex roofs, conservatory ventilation is new and improved thanks to a unique flush low-line appearance as well as full automation options.

According to SupaLite, the aesthetic appeal of the S2 further places the roof ahead of the competition. With a refined aluminium gutter shroud and easy to install internal pelmet system, the S2 is designed to adapt to both the smallest lean-to roof and grandest orangery, without compromise.

The incredibly strong ‘box’ eaves beam further allows for wide panoramic doors to be incorporated into conservatory spaces – accommodating pitches from as low as 2.5° to a steep 37.5°.

It features squared cappings across the entire roof for a contemporary finish, and consumers are also offered the opportunity to add high-quality finials and cresting for a more traditional finish if required.

Wes Clarkson, sales director at SupaLite, commented: “The S2 is a fantastic development in conservatory roofing. The glazed extension market is evolving, and the S2 hallmarks a new era for conservatories.

“Revealing it at the FIT show was a no-brainer for us here at SupaLite. Knowing we’d be surrounded by professionals from across the industry gave us the best opportunity to showcase the innovative S2 system, and the response so far has been truly amazing.

“After the successful launch of the S1 roof lantern, the S2 roof was the next exciting step in our 2023 strategy. Thanks to the hard work and dedication of our operations team we now have a specialist roof manufacturing plant dedicated to the S1, S2, renowned SupaLite Tiled Roof as well as the ILite Flat Roof Orangery – helping us to maintain our 10-day lead time.”

Wes added that the launch of the S2 roof was motivated by customer feedback as lots of SupaLite installers have, over the years, requested the solid roof supplier to provide both tiled and glass conservatory roofs.

“Launching the S2 means we are able to give our customers a choice for the first time,” he said.

“To keep up with consumer demand they can now offer a range of solutions that are both easy-to-fit and incredibly thermally efficient – it really is too great an opportunity to miss!

“A huge thank you to the FIT show for hosting us for our 10th exhibition and to all those who came to learn about our highly anticipated new product. We’re excited to see where this new chapter in conservatory roofing takes us.”

For anyone who couldn’t attend the 2023 FIT Show, the SupaLite team will be touring the country delivering an informative series of seminars for installers and fabricators which will kickstart in June.
