THE BEST ALL ALUMINIUM LANTERN ROOF
AWARD FOR
INNOVATION
The Charles Godfrey Memorial Award for Innovation is given every
year to a product that has brought significant innovation to the
building industry.
The Korniche Aluminium
Roof Lantern has been
awarded this prestigious
award for 2018.
Roger Bisby who tested the Korniche earlier
in the year commented: “The first thing
I saw was the packaging. Every builder
knows the frustration of having items arrive
on site with damage. It slows the job down
and causes hassle for the manufacturer -
and the customer. Often there is a knockon
effect because other trades are unable
to get on. With the Korniche Roof Lantern,
everything arrived in perfect condition.
The next thing is the instruction booklet,
which deserves as award on its own. A huge
amount of thought and design has gone
into this. Every stage is clearly shown with
intelligent use of colours to show you the
relevant components.
Then there is the engineering. It all fits
perfectly, and, when I say fits, I mean no
gaps or misalignment, and no need for
packers, shims or sealant.
The whole installation process went like a
dream and I said at the time that I couldn’t
wait until I had the chance to fit another.
It didn’t take long. Without the slightest
rush I fitted three on a roof in less than a
morning and each one was perfect. More
importantly, the customer was delighted”.
Made For Trade are delighted to have
received this award, one that stands by
the very values on which the Korniche
was conceived - to deliver to builders and
installers a product that makes life on
site easier and more cost effective, whilst
providing a beautiful, architectural lantern
look that is contemporary whilst holding
on to traditional timber style fitting any
home. FITTED IN MINUTES, GLAZED IN
SECONDS, STRONGER than any other
lantern on the market with WARMER
construction and SLIMMER profiles.
Bradley Gaunt, Managing Director says “We
have been entered for many fenestration
awards over the last couple of years and
from my point of view in this industry
we often see these awards as the usual
suspects congratulating one another on
their endeavours, in many cases winning
could easily be based on the strength of a
PR budget?!. So I’m over the moon with this
independent award and Roger’s comments
as it puts the product, engineering and
design centre stage and applauds the
advantages these efforts deliver above
its competitors. In 2019 Made for Trade
continue the innovation delivered in the
Korniche Lantern with a new product launch
at the FITShow which we are all very excited
about”
There is no greater proof that a product like
Korniche has made a mark on the industry
than seeing competitors scrambling to
catch up, looking to pick up on one or two
aspects of the design to try and differentiate
their own products and claw back market
share. However, the Korniche Aluminium
Lantern has already achieved an affinity
with both trade and homeowners which
will be hard to overturn. No other lantern
has the overall winning combinations
the Korniche delivers. From quotation to
delivery in as little as five working days
for a totally bespoke product and fitting in
under 30 mins on site – Korniche remains
the obvious solution for trades looking for
a lanterns to grace their flat roof extension
projects in 2019.
