All
Lifestyle conservatories utilize the Ultraframe roofing systems.
The Ultraframe roofing system was the first to pass the rigorous
testing regime applied by the government backed independent
testing agency, the British Board of Agrèment (BBA),
anticipating ‘a life expectancy of at least 25 years’.
Ultraframe was also the first company to achieve an ISO9001/2
Quality Assurance accreditation for the design, manufacturing
and supplying of their roofing system. |

| Safety
and security against Intrusion |
When double glazed glass units are used in the
roof, they are required to meet full safety glazing material to BS6206.
Lifestyle uses 24mm or 28mm glass units, which have a ‘U’
value of approx 3.5, depending on the roof design. Polycarbonate roofing
sheets are shatterproof, lighter and stronger than glass and the 25mm
six wall, used by Lifestyle, have a ‘U’ value of 1.5.
The lower the figure the more thermal efficient. Both glass and polycarbonate
roofing sheets are secured with glazing security beads.
| The
patented ridge and eaves beam gives all year round secure
ventilation. Each system comprises of structural aluminum
profiles that have been bolted together (NOT screwed) and
then capped and clad in PVC-u. This is known as thermal cladding
and minimizes condensation. |
|
The
Ultraframe roofing system has been loaded with the equivalent
of 1.5 bags of cement per sq metre. One and a half times greater
than required by Building Regulations. |
Lifestyle's conservatories are constructed from
high strength PVC-u & Aluminum profiles to carry all snow and
wind loads. For minimal maintenance, the interior and exterior of
your conservatory is decoratively capped and thermally clad with PVC-u.
Apart from the occasional wash down with soapy water and clearing
of leaves from the gutter, there is nothing else needed.
