Over the last 40 years, much of the innovation that has gone into the Ultraframe Glass Roof has been driven by customer feedback and the latest enhancement to the system has come about for exactly that reason. The company has announced the launch of a new reinforced 265mm box gutter which negates the need for gallows brackets. This improvement also brings the additional benefits of an increased spanning capability of up to six meters and reduced costs.
Compatible with all Ultraframe Glass Roofs and Livinroof, the reinforced box gutter must be used with the Ultraframe standard eaves and be supported at either end by hup!, a brick wall or an aluminium post.
Commenting about the new reinforced box gutter, Ultraframe Marketing Director, Alex Hewitt, said: “Our Glass Roof may be the original Ultraframe roof system with a 40-year heritage but the technology within in it could not be more advanced. We have constantly invested into innovation, evolving it over all those years including the introduction of Livinroof back in 2014 and we continue to do so today. For many years gallows brackets have been a necessary evil as far as many are concerned, with homeowners sometimes struggling to understand why they are needed and believing that they impact on internal aesthetics. The new reinforced 265mm box gutter means that homeowners can now say goodbye to gallows and also reduces the overall cost of the roof – a win-win situation! The great news is that it can also be used on Livinroof to deliver the same benefits.”
The maximum length possible on the new box gutter is 6m (internal frame 5860mm), with a maximum jointed length of 5.8mm. All joints must be supported and the location of joints must be specified during the ordering process, but as always, the Ultraframe Tech Support Team is on hand to guide installers through the ordering process and answer any queries.
