Upgraded bungalow features Eurocell’s Skypod lantern roofs

When builder Colin Clarkson visited his local Eurocell branch in Wakefield to get a price on some roof tiles, he did not expect to end removing his new home from top to bottom in products from one single source. Yet now his upgraded bungalow features Eurocell-sourced products throughout – from Tapco composite slate tiles to Skypod lantern roofs, a Dales Collection composite door, PVC-U windows and even the rainwater goods. The building itself was an early 1960s two-bedroom brick and block bungalow with a conservatory extension and was in a state of disrepair. Colin saw its potential and bought it to convert into a three-bedroom home with pitched dormers and a flat-roofed extension that matched the best of contemporary design and living standards.

“I first went to Eurocell because it was one of the few suppliers of Tapco composite roof slates and they were well priced, yet then when I saw the Skypod lantern roofs I wanted them. I had a conservatory before and knew this would sort the problem of freezing in winter and boiling in summer and it all grew from there.” Supplied with a 10-year guarantee, Skypod lantern roofs are swiftly installed and bring the benefits of extra light and height without the penalty in conservatory heating costs as the double-glazed lantern rood has a u-value of 1.0. A wide range of frame and glass options complement any home while self-cleaning, temperature- controlled glass keeps maintenance to a minimum. Available in a choice of designs, Skypod can be manufactured to fit any space with sizes up to 2.75m x 8.7. “When I saw the Skypod lantern roofs I wanted them. I had a conservatory before and knew this would sort the problem of freezing in winter and boiling in summer.” Colin Clarkson, Builder.
