Keylite Roof Windows has launched a new Fixed Skylight for roofs pitched from 10 degrees upwards that will allow for more daylight and a higher level of security.
The innovative design, which is new to the market for 2024, will suit single-story roofs due to its low-pitch installation and offers 44 per cent more daylight than a standard centre pivot window.
The Fixed Skylight is also compliant with Part Q of UK building regulations and meets latest guidance in ‘Security in dwellings: Approved Document Q’ to help resist unauthorised access in new dwellings.
The purpose of Part Q is to make a window sufficiently robust to resist its ability to be levered open or from the glass pane being removed intact from the window frame. The aim is to make the opportunist burglar give up these means of gaining access and either leave or have to break the glass to gain entry.
Lewis Scott, National Account Manager for Keylite, said: “Our Fixed Skylight will take the headache out of compliance by offering a straightforward solution for housebuilders needing a secure roof window unit that performs as low as 10 degrees.
“The product’s seamless integration into any construction project also brings a higher level of security to a property and provides 44 per cent more daylight than a standard pivot window – making it ideal for housebuilders looking for a secure yet aesthetic solution.
“The Keylite Fixed Skylight is BBA tested and approved – providing extra security and peace of mind and can be installed with a single or combination of flashings.”
All of Keylite’s roof windows offer unique USPs as standard, such as factory pre-installed Flick-Fit brackets, which are ideal for building contractors; and the Integrated Expanding Thermal Collar, which appeals to housebuilders and architects for its ‘straight out the box’ solution to enhanced thermal performance.
Keylite continues to develop its product portfolio within the roofing market too, including Roof Lanterns and Flat Glass Rooflights.
