A trio of winners
27th June 2017

A trio of ATLAS GLAZED ROOF SOLUTIONS installers, Keymer Double Glazing, Thames Valley Windows and Vale Orangeries are the first three winners of the Atlas Installation of the Month competition.

Keymer Double Glazing from Burgess Hill, West Sussex created a one-off underground extension on a grand, multi-level property in Sussex. An important element of the design was to consider the flow of light in the property and to frame the views over acres of private land. Keymer created a family room, which is sunken into the ground. The extension is illuminated from above by a large Atlas lantern and features a wall of slim-framed aluminium sliding doors which open out on to the newly landscaped garden. The focal point of the installation is the lantern, which juts out of the patio on the level above.

Thames Valley Windows showed off an orangery installation on a detached dormer bungalow in Twyford, Berkshire. The owners of the property had originally wanted to install a modest sized conservatory on the rear of the property to create an open plan kitchen diner. They approached Thames Valley Windows for design ideas and, having reviewed the possibilities, they rejected a conservatory in favour of a much larger scale orangery. The scheme spans the entire width of the rear of the property and incorporates ample spaces for cooking, eating and relaxing. The extension features three Atlas glazed roof lanterns to flood the 45 square metre space with light.

The design flair of the team at Vale Orangeries is shown in a double-storey extension on a property in Barry in the Vale of Glamorgan. The ultra-modern ‘cube’ styled extension was designed to contrast with the rest of the house and take advantage of its south facing orientation. Vale Orangeries’ design incorporated modern materials and acres of glass to create a light-filled contemporary family space. A large 1.2m x 2.3 metre Atlas Flat Rooflight and a wall of glass add to the dramatic visual impact of the extension.

Gareth Thomas, sales and marketing director at Atlas Glazed Roof Solutions, explains: “Our Installation of The Month competition is all about getting the industry talking about design and inspiring installers to be ambitious with their projects. We are overwhelmed by these three amazing installations which show just how much can be achieved with clever design and innovative products. The bold vision and imaginative use of space in each project makes them stand out and the teams behind them deserve to be very proud of these installations.”

Each month, the winning installer will scoop a £200 Screwfix voucher and a £50 Majestic Wine voucher, plus trade industry PR and entry into the Atlas Installer of the Year award finals. All entries submitted with completed installation pictures will receive an Atlas thermal mug.
