opening rooflights, walk-on
rooflights and the spectacular
new product, the O-Lite rooflight.
This circular rooflight provides an
eye-catching pool of daylight.
Various glass options are also
available, including Satinova
(frosted glass), laminated glass
for security and blue or bronze
tinted glass. Sabahudin said: “Our
Solar Control glass allows maxi-
mum natural daylight into homes,
whilst reducing the harmful effect
of ultraviolet and infrared rays.
Our subtle blue-tint glass is a
popular option for both rooflights
and bi-fold doors, especially for
south-facing rooms. It stops furni-
ture and carpets from fading; for
example, we had one customer in
Oxford who had several antique
musical instruments and wanted to
protect them from the damaging
effects of light.” All glass offered
has permanent Easy Clean coating
as standard.
Roof Maker’s opening rooflights
are perfect for areas where ventila-
tion is required. The range of elec-
tric hinged or sliding rooflights
comes in a selection of smooth
operating, versatile styles. The
electric hinged rooflights come
with a built-in rain sensor to close
the window if it rains.
Sabahudin is now working on
an app which will enable cus-
tomers to open and close their
rooflights from wherever they are
in the world.

Energy efficient
The company’s inauguration
coincided with the government
legislation on CO2 emissions and
Roof Maker prides itself on deliv-
ering superior thermal insulation
and solar gain efficiencies. Energy
efficient glazing helps reduce the
carbon footprint of properties
and saves on energy bills. Roof
Maker has seen these two areas
become far more important in the
purchase decision-making process
than ever before. The products are
designed and built using the very
latest technologies, with triple
glazed as standard, and the indus-
try’s highest Ug rating of 0.2. A
range of glass options help to save
money by minimising heating,
cooling and lighting costs.

eration in rooflight technology,
ensuring customers can rely on

always the businesses goal, con-
tinually improving products with
new design features and compo-
nents that push the boundaries
of thermal insulation and heat-re-
flecting technology. As continuing
proof of this, Roof Maker was due
to unveil a world’s first in rooflight
technology at the Homebuilding
