This document introduces a new precision engineered spacer system for building roofs in response to new building regulations requiring zero carbon construction. The system, called Quattro, provides a sturdier alternative to single support spacer systems by using an interlocking quad design that prevents lateral sway and reduces reliance on installer skill. It has additional strength to support photovoltaic panels being increasingly installed on roofs.

2. Why the change?
• 2016 Building Regulation require “Zero Carbon”
That means a deeper construction roof and wall cavity..
Or - thicker / more dense / more expensive insulation!
£ more expensive

4. Why the change?
• Why the need to change the current offer?
• 60% of our roof systems supplied are 0.18 U Value or lower (2011-2012)

5. Why the change?
• All single support spacer systems suffer from lateral sway

6. Why the change?
• All rely on installer skill to ensure correct installation

7. Why the change?
• Roof Systems now have additional requirement to support PV panels.
• Giving an increased roof mass above the spacer system
