Great design and a variety of tiles suit.
My company purchased a Supalite roof and installed it at a customers house. Not long after completion the roof suffered catastrophic failures that has led to repairs and redesigns of their own system that runs into 5 figures.
We followed all the instructions provided by Supalite to the letter and took photographs throughout the build in order to prove installation was correct in order to obtain the building control approval upon completion.
In reporting the faults back to Supalite it is now clear that there are serious and fundamental omissions in the instructions provided which lead to the failures. Supalite have made suggestions on how to fix the problems but have refused to pay my company compensation for their failure to provide adequate instructions to us the installers. They claim the product is building control compliant and they offer a 10 year product guarantee via the installer. The reality is that they refuse to provide this guarantee to the installer when the issue is clearly their own negligence, leaving the installer to pick up the bill for the repairs.
Supalite have tried to retrospectively apply design responsibilities onto myself as the installer. If we were made aware that we had design responsibilities this would have been fine as we could have taken steps to redesign their “system” to make sure it was fit for purpose. Sadly they are just interested in avoiding any form of liability.
I highly recommend avoiding using a Supalite roof.
In summary, if you want a warm, useable room where your conservatory is, knock it down and build a proper extension. A conservatory is never going to be built to the same standards, irrespective of what sort of roof you have on it. And if you're determined to keep the conservatory and replace the roof, save yourself some grief and don’t buy SupaLite!
As an aside, I see SupaLite have replied to another post distancing themselves from installs, claiming they only provide the product. This is false, they did install roofs themselves up to at least 2016.
