Success at at Grand Designs Live Birmingham

Vertix Systems made a strong impression at this year’s Grand Designs Live Birmingham, with our innovative roofing solution- combining EasySeam Standing Seam Roof System with integrated photovoltaic (PV) panels, being selected by show host Kevin McCloud as one of his Top 5 Picks for the event.


Hosted at the NEC, Grand Designs Live is one of the UK’s leading exhibitions for design, innovation, and sustainable living. As well as showcasing our market leading EasySeam System, Vertix Systems stand demonstrated how solar technology can be built directly into a roof, delivering clean energy generation without compromising on style or structure. The sleek, fully integrated PV design allows architects, builders, and homeowners to achieve renewable performance with a refined and contemporary architectural finish.


In making his first Top 5 selection, Kevin McCloud commented:
“This is Grand Designs Live. It’s full of interesting stuff and innovation and ideas I like. And here’s one of my top five — integrated solar panels in a standing seam roof — love that.”

Thanks Kevin! We’re delighted with the recognition which highlights Vertix Systems’ commitment to combining sustainable technology with elegant, future-ready building solutions. Over the 3 days, visitors to our stand were able to see and touch the integrated PV panels on EasySeam Standing Seam Roof and speak to our knowledgeable team to find out more about how they can be used to meet their specific needs.


Vertix Systems continues to lead the way, providing stylish solutions with sustainability built in.
