Simplicity 16 Veranda Benefits & Specification
All-aluminium system: The Simplicity 16 is only manufactured from aluminium to offer exceptional longevity and easy maintenance. It also features hidden, integral guttering for a clean, modern appearance.
High speed installation: We have developed this system in partnership with one of the most prolific extrusion designers in the industry. Through his extensive expertise and using our knowledge gained from 25 years experience, we have created the simplest fixing system possible.
Impact Resistance: Some of the systems on the market today use PVC or GRP which do not have the impact resistance of polycarbonate. We only use triple wall 16mm polycarbonate sheeting to ensure that your investment lasts and has the impact resistance and the snow loading capabilities for wherever you are in the UK.
Variable resistance: Unlike the majority of roof kits, which only offer a fixed pitch, the Simplicity 16 offers a pitch range of 5° to 22.5° to give you that little bit extra.
