Ultraframe launches Polyspan Optimum
Tuesday 27th September 2005
Ultraframe now offers installers the most efficient polycarbonate on the market. Unique to Ultraframe, the new 25mm five wall Polyspan Optimum is available in two exclusive colours, grey and blue. The latest polycarbonate specification provides the ultimate in solar control, coupled with excellent light transmission properties and market leading thermal efficiency.
Available on all Ultraframe roofing systems, this high performance glazing offers installers a cost-effective and lightweight solution to combat solar heat gain in conservatories. Polyspan Optimum has a solar heat gain coefficient of just 0.16 on grey and 0.18 on blue, which means that it blocks out 84% and 82% respectively of solar heat whilst maintaining a high level of light transmission into the conservatory. It features two co-extruded U.V. protective layers that provide the sheet with exceptional resistance to ageing. Although lightweight, Polyspan Optimum is virtually shatterproof and 200 times stronger than glass.
Ultraframe’s Polyspan Optimum also provides excellent thermal properties, with a ‘U’ value of just 1.5 W/m2K, compared to 1.6 on standard 25mm polycarbonate and 1.1 on Conservaglass Optimum. Overall, Polyspan Optimum offers the optimum performance compared to the other choices of polycarbonates.
Andrew Thomson, Design and Development Director at Ultraframe said: “Installers now have the choice of offering a revolutionary high performance and low cost alternative to glass. Polyspan Optimum is an innovative product that is an excellent option for those wanting to offer a contemporary, top quality polycarbonate.”
Andrew continued: “In addition, Ultraframe is the only conservatory roof manufacturer to include a selection of patented primary ventilation solutions such as controllable tickle ventilation at the ridge, as standard on all its roofs. This coupled with new Polyspan Optimum, or the revolutionary Conservaglass range of climate controlling glass, ensures all year round environmental control and most importantly customer satisfaction.”
