Finding the right roof for your extension, orangery, or conservatory replacement can feel like a monumental task. But what if you had a model that not only ticks every box for functionality but also adds undeniable style to your home? That’s where Ultraframe GRP flat roofs, expertly designed and installed by Spectrum Glazing in Essex, come into play.
These flat roofs offer unrivalled thermal performance, structural durability, and complete customisation. They’re perfect for anyone who wants the best modern technology paired with an aesthetic edge. And thanks to Spectrum Glazing's meticulous installation process, you can be sure your investment will be worth every penny.
No one likes a cold, draughty space or skyrocketing heating bills. That’s why the Ultraframe GRP flat roof boasts exceptional insulation, featuring a U-value of just 0.12 W/m²K. This state-of-the-art thermal performance doesn't just meet Building Regulation requirements—it surpasses them. With 225mm of insulation and a vapour-proof membrane layer to eliminate condensation, you’ll enjoy unbeatable comfort no matter the season.
And here’s the kicker: every roof is designed with integrated ventilation options. These prevent any nasty condensation build-up while maintaining a fresh, healthy indoor environment.
The British weather is nothing if not unpredictable. But that’s where the robust, high-strength construction of the Ultraframe GRP flat roof shines. Made from durable Glass Reinforced Polyester (GRP), these roofs excel at withstanding heavy rain, wind, and other harsh elements.
Engineered and tested for each individual postcode, the roof is designed to endure the worst that Mother Nature throws your way. And with a design that can span 5.6m unsupported, they’re perfect for larger installations featuring wide bi-fold or sliding doors—guaranteeing uninterrupted views
No two homes (or homeowners) are the same, and neither should their roofing choices be. Spectrum Glazing offers completely customisable Ultraframe GRP flat roofs. Whether you’re after sleek modern skylights, classic lanterns, or any RAL-coloured fascia, your roofing solution will be as unique as your style.
Design options also extend to the soffit and fascia. Choose the minimalist and compact standard soffit, or opt for the extended variation if you want to add patio lighting and external features. From colour to cornices, every detail can be tailored to align with your vision.
Nothing beats natural light streaming into your home. With frameless flat skylights available as part of the Ultraframe GRP flat roof system, you’ll flood your space with light and give it a contemporary, luxurious vibe. These skylights include a tapered kerb to avoid water pooling, noise-reducing glass, and sleek edge-to-edge designs for a clean, modern finish.
Traditional roof construction can be messy, disruptive, and painfully slow. Spectrum Glazing eliminates all those issues with their efficient installation process. Here’s what to expect:
This streamlined process not only reduces construction time but also minimises mess and disruption to your home life.
