An MSI Landscape report is a new concept - a short format report laid out as a Marketing Presentation. In hardcopy form, the report presents a pair of pages that discuss each report aspect or question shown in the Table of Contents. Thus the question Who are the Leading Hotel Groups in the UK? is supported by a graphic (in this case a pie chart showing market share of the leading chains) and by a table (in this case, the number of bedrooms and the number of hotels of 13 named groups, plus an entry covering the rest of the industry). The facing page states those Facts that you, as the person undertaking the presentation, would be expected to know - in this instance, five paragraphs covering the recent activities of the market leaders and pertinent bullet points to enable you to create a hard-hitting presentation.

The MSI Landscape range has proved to be extremely popular, both in the hardcopy format and in the additional PowerPoint electronic version - packaged ready for you to adapt to your needs or use immediately as a framework for presenting further analysis. MSI Landscapes are also purchased as an entry level report into a particular sector by marketing professionals, financial analysts, market researchers and business information professionals.

DEFINITIONS

This report analyses the UK market for roof glazing and rooflights in value terms at manufacturers’ selling prices. Conservatory roof glazing and roof windows are excluded from this report.

For the purpose of this report, roof glazing is defined as the use of transparent panels for the coverage of wide areas of roofs. This definition also includes glazed atria which are aesthetically appealing glazed structural features on roofs. Trade sources report that roof glazing is typically composed of five walls of the glazing material. The more walls used increases insulation properties.

There are three main types of rooflights:

rooflights can be produced in a number of shapes including domes and pyramids. They are manufactured in a variety of standard sizes, within an individual framework. Such rooflights are typically installed in flat roofs

• in-plane rooflights, are used on sloping roofs with an incline of four degrees or more, and are fitted in the same lane as the roof. The majority of in-plane rooflights are manufactured in corrugated GRP and made to match the profile of the roofing system
• other rooflights are continuous barrel vaulted rooflights which are typically domed shaped and run the length of the roof
• Single skin rooflights are composed of one wall of glazing material
• Rooflights are mainly manufactured in single skin and double skin, but are also available in triple skin applications.
• Double skin rooflights are composed of two walls of glazing material
• Triple skin rooflights are composed of three walls of glazing material

The material types used for roof glazing and rooflights are:

• glass
• PVC
• polycarbonate
• GRP
• acrylic resins

The market size of the UK market for roofing materials differs from previous editions of MSI’s Roofing Materials: UK report due to the use of new trade data.

Other related reports published by MSI include:

• MSI Data Report: Roofing Materials: UK, published in January 2002
• MSI Marketing Presentation: The Future Of The UK Roofing Contracting Market To 2006, published in January 2002

All values quoted are at current prices unless otherwise specified.

MSI has a policy of rounding numbers, including financial information from five onwards up to the next significant figure.
