CELEBRATION TIME!
As a leading manufacturer of roof systems and home improvement products, including aluminium windows and doors, Lancashire-based Prefix Systems has years of technical knowledge and experience within the industry
Celebrating 25 years in business, Prefix Systems was founded 1996 by Chris Cooke just as conservatories became the must-have house extension.
Since then, the company has expanded its portfolio to include award winning WARMroofs, verandas, rooflights, orangeries, aluminium doors and windows, and now operates from four sites across the UK.
Over the years, Prefix has led a design revolution within the industry, winning numerous awards – most notably, the company became the first in the history of the prestigious Red Rose Awards for Lancashire businesses to win in three separate categories.
Prefix Systems was established when Chris identified a gap in the market for quality off-site-constructed conservatory roof structures. The emphasis was very much on quality, service and support for installers, something which is still at the heart of Prefix Systems’ ethos today.
From humble beginnings in a 2,500ft2 unit to the current head office which now occupies a 60,000ft2 manufacturing facility, Prefix today produces glass conservatory roofs and the industry-leading tiled Prefix WARMroof along with other roofing and home improvement products.
Prefix Systems also has three other manufacturing facilities throughout the UK enabling daily deliveries and a more localised level of technical expertise and support across the country.
In another example of being ahead of the curve, Prefix was investing in its colour offering as early as 2005: “Colour is one of the biggest talking points in the glazing and fenestration sectors,” Chris Cooke explains. “We are now able to produce fully manufactured products in a vast array of colours and with a 10-year finish guarantee.”
With a reputation for excellence and an unrivalled technical knowledge, customers inevitably have confidence in Prefix’s products and service, while Prefix’s level of professionalism benefits the industry as a whole.
The technical knowledge at Prefix Systems’ core, has led to the launch of many industry leading products, including aluminium glazing products: “Aluminium is certainly enjoying a renaissance and it’s not just dominating in bi-folding doors, as we are seeing growth with patio doors and other types of installations,” says Chris. “We’re also experiencing greater adoption in full-height glazing.”
Prefix also specialises in sympathetic heritage products with its Heritage window system under its own aluminium brand Opal.
“Given our broad product range of roof systems, aluminium windows and doors, along with other home improvement and outdoor living solutions, our showroom is the perfect place in which to present everything under one roof,” Chris Cooke said.
“Prefix is taking a leading stance in the development of the market for extended living, and we believe that the future for our customers and Prefix looks incredible.”
Partner Chris Baron adds: “This is a true reflection on all the hard effort each and everyone involved in Prefix has put into the business and we’re overwhelmingly proud of this.”
