New skylight ’ s Part Q compliance as standard
» KEYLITE ROOF Windows ( Keylite ) 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 .
