K2 Installer Samrose Provides Food for Thought

Samrose Windows & Conservatories has given its competitors ‘food for thought’, after recently installing two K2 roof lanterns at the Morritz Arms Hotel in Greta Bridge, near Barnard Castle.

Samrose, founded by Ian Johnson in 1993, was approached by the Morritz Arms to design an installation to replace two skylights in the roof of its restaurant. The aim of the installation was to improve the appearance of the restaurant by providing the room with extra warmth and light during the day, but also to provide guests with an opportunity to dine by moonlight in the evening.

 

The installation involved the fitting of two K2 double gabled Edwardian lantern roofs of sections of 2.28m by 4.13m incorporating two K2 roof vents. Samrose was also asked to install eight glazed double doors inside the hotel as part of the internal refit of the restaurant.

The K2 lantern roofs and roof events were supplied to Samrose by Advantage, a K2 key dealer who has been established since 1992. Advantage has BBA accreditation, is one of the largest independent roof fabricators in the country and offers a five-day turnaround on all roofs.

Ian Johnson, Managing Director of Samrose comments: 'We were very excited by the challenge of designing this installation, as it was necessary to integrate new glazed roof sections within the structure and surroundings of an older building. We decided to fit an Edwardian style of installation, which adds light and space to the restaurant area while maintaining the atmosphere and environment of the hotel.'

Sally Fielding, Managing Director of K2 comments: 'K2 would like to congratulate Samrose on their innovative and stylish design for the Morritz Arms Hotel. K2’s products are suitable for use in a variety of installations, both domestic and commercial and we are delighted that we were able to be involved in this bespoke installation.'
