Shining the Spotlight in Winning Installation
» THE S1 ROOF LANTERN has won May’ s Sheerline Installation of the Month competition; fabricated and fitted by Riverside Bifolds, at a property in Winchester.
The new build property had benefited from an extension upon which they had chosen an unusual round roof lantern. Although it was newly added to the property, the homeowner realised it didn’ t fit with the overall aesthetic they wanted to achieve.
Riverside Bifolds recommended the S1 Roof Lantern because of its slim, sleek, contemporary look that is in keeping with the rest of the extension. It sits at an impressive 5.8m in length – just under the maximum of 6m – with a width of 1.5m.
Mike Sillwood, Sheerline’ s Area Sales Manager for the South East, commented:“ There are so many configurations and customisable options – anyone can create a truly unique lantern to meet the exacting requirements of their project.”
In terms of the colour, the homeowner opted for Pure White( RAL 9010) inside and Anthracite Grey( RAL 7016) outside, with Activ™ Blue self-cleaning glass. It took one day to complete the hassle-free installation that was much more in keeping with the look of the house.
Aaron Moroney, Riverside Bifolds MD, added:“ What we like about the S1 is the sleek, modern look, plus it’ s easy to fabricate and fit. From a fabricator perspective, we have nothing but positive feedback – our deliveries are always on time and in full.”

Raising the Tempo with British Aluminium
» ESSEX-BASED TEMPO ALUMINIUM has signed a three-year supply agreement with Stellar Aluminium Systems. The move marks a significant step in the company’ s strategic ambition to deliver a premium, performance-led product range tailored to the needs of its trade, housebuilder and commercial customer base.
Andrew Curtis, Office Manager at Tempo Aluminium, said:“ We wanted a British-designed aluminium system that offered both outstanding aesthetics and technical excellence. Stellar stood out from the start. The slim sightlines of the system are incredibly impressive and the fact that the system is fully Part L and PAS 24:2022 compliant by design made it the perfect fit for our new build and specification-driven customers.
“ Operational efficiency is critical in any business and Stellar delivers on that front too. Thanks to their rapid and reliable turnaround, including coloured profiles, we’ ve been able to reduce our service times to a highly competitive two to three weeks. That’ s a real game-changer for our customers, especially in today’ s fast-paced construction environment.”
Established in January 2025, Tempo Aluminium has quickly established a strong presence across the South East and expanding its reach with a nationwide service. The company now manufactures the full Stellar aluminium window and door range, including Flush Casement Windows, Flush Residential Doors, Inline Sliding Doors and the new Stellar Heritage Window.
Andrew commented:“ The Stellar range is impressive, but the new Heritage Window really stood out. The window’ s blend of classic design detailing and high-performance credentials will be a popular choice for our customers especially in the new build and refurbishment markets.”
Jon Foulds, Key Account Manager at Stellar Aluminium, said:“ We’ re thrilled to welcome Tempo Aluminium on board. Their commitment to quality, service and innovation makes them a natural partner for the Stellar brand. Their early focus on the Heritage Window is a clear sign they understand the market and what their customers need.”
