April Edition of Trade Counter News. New Conservatory Base from LEKA, at The Fit Show
LEKA Systems will be unveiling its latest innovation at this year’s FIT Show. Rhys Hoddinott, Managing Director of LEKA Systems, said: “The LEKA Xi Conservatory Base System is a new modular extension that raises the bar in thermally efficient home extensions or garden rooms. And due to its intelligent design, they can be constructed in just three to five days.”
Like the LEKA Warm Roof and the LEKA Orangery Roof, the LEKA Xi is a unique proposition that sets a new standard for the industry.
It’s a modular system that’s tailored to homeowner and installer requirements and is constructed using a LEKA base, LEKA walls and the LEKA roof system. There are three or four sided options, so it can be used for both home extensions and standalone garden rooms.
