Keylite roof windows have been installed on properties in Knights Grove, a Cala Homes development on the edge of historic Newbury Market.

Four different house types in the Knights Grove development feature Keylite Roof Windows’ (Keylite) new Fixed Skylights, which have been designed for roofs pitched from 10 degrees upwards, reportedly allowing for up to 44% more daylight than a standard centre pivot window* and a higher level of security

Keylite’s Fixed Skylight is also compliant with Part Q of UK building regulations and helps housebuilders meet the 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.

Cala Homes has been a solus Keylite installer for many years and the Fixed Skylight was specially designed from collaboration and feedback from Cala. Keylite’s Hi-Therm high performance glazing and deep tile flashing was also specified for the development.

Lewis Scott, national account manager for Keylite, added: “Our Fixed Skylight takes 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 is BBA tested and approved – providing extra security and peace of mind.”

All of Keylite’s roof windows offer unique USPs as standard, such as factory pre-installed ‘Flick-Fit’ brackets, which are ideal for installers; and the integrated expanding thermal collar, which appeals to housebuilders and architects for its ‘straight out the box’ solution to enhanced thermal performance.
