Ultraframe has launched Ultralite 2.0, a next-generation low-pitch roofing system designed for roof pitches between 2.5° and 10°. The new system builds on the original Ultralite500, introducing installation improvements, updated components and a contemporary finish for lean-to applications.
A key development is the introduction of setting-out jigs that identify where glazing bars need to be cut and drilled. The system also features square chambered top caps, a redesigned square gutter profile, ventilated wall plate undercladding and an integrated curved fascia. Coordinated white components provide a consistent appearance across the installation.
Ultralite 2.0 uses 25 mm opal polycarbonate glazing, with a glazing U-value of 1.7 W/m²K and light transmission of 15%.
The system has also been developed for refurbishment projects, allowing installers, where site conditions permit, to retain existing aluminium wall plates, wall channel top caps and lead flashing when replacing Ultralite500 roofs. 
According to Ultraframe’s Research and Development Director, Andrew Thomson, the updated design focuses on simplifying installation while maintaining affordability and product quality.
Technical and installation guides are available through Ultraframe’s official product resources.
