K2 Product Enhancements Offer New Solutions

As part of its ongoing product development programme, K2 is planning the launch of three new products to enhance its range.

Adding to its extremely successful track record in ventilation products, K2''s PVCU roof vent is now complemented by an aluminium sash alternative. Utilising the existing PVCU outer frame section, the new sash accommodates 25mm and 35mm polycarbonate or glass glazing and is sculptured to co-ordinate with the K2 roofing system. The aluminium sash maintains all the features and benefits of the PVCU version, including a demountable hinge, concealed fixings and an integral drainage system and offers an additional ventilation choice to the marketplace.

In response to market demand for a valley solution to suit larger installations, K2 has also developed an enhanced Valley Centre. Available from February, the new K2 Valley Centre is stronger than the previous version and has greater spanning capability but remains compatible with the existing claddings, cappings and end cap.

As well as functionality, K2 has addressed aesthetics in its latest series of product launches. The new Boss End Shroud will offer the marketplace a new solution to concealing the boss end, making the system user-friendly for the installer. The Shroud is manufactured in a closed cell foam and addresses a common consumer request to mask the join between roofing panels and external boss end cover.

Comments Sally Fielding, Managing Director of K2: "Our product development programme is driven by feedback from our customers and where we can see a market need to enhance existing products or update the system with a new innovation we will invest in making it happen. These new products are significant additions to the K2 range and form part of a package of measures - both product and service related - aimed at enabling our customers to address an evolving customer marketplace and retain a competitive advantage."
