A cut above

Conservatory fabricator CRS has given a fresh look to a canalside home, replacing an ageing timber and plolycarbonate construction with light oak finish PVC-U and a glass roof made from the Aztec roofing system.

The new owners of the house, on the banks of the Shropshire Union Canal between Chester and Waverton, chose a 4.5m X 3m ‘stretched Victorian’ construction with the aluminium/ PVC-U combination instead of timber to avoid rot from the moist conditions so close to the water.
CRS’s Dave Frost added that the use of the Aztec system meant every visible component was foiled rather than simply coloured:

“Aztec’s unique foiled system means that the new roof looks like every detail is made from oak - even the crestings. Aztec is the only system that extends external foiling to every component part. Others offer foiled colours, but at most they only include the main structure and ridge cap. Their other elements are painted or use coloured plastic, so you don’t get a true match, especially with a woodgrain finish.”
