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 .

How Glazerite ’ s supplier partnerships open doors for installers

Glazerite UK Group ’ s longstanding relationship with its suppliers gives the trade fabricator ’ s installers access to a wide range of high-quality composites , stylish door furniture and leading smart technology .
Now DoorCo , the UK ’ s leading independent manufacturer and supplier of composite doors , has transformed the fabricator ’ s door offering by taking the aesthetics
and performance of its portfolio to the next level .
Glazerite ’ s DoorCo portfolio now has composite colours available in nine standard shades , 38 premium hues and the exclusive Patina colours on specific door styles such as the Monza II , the recently-launched and traditionally-styled Eaton and the new contemporary styles of Grove and Kings . With the option also to colour match to any RAL , and a choice of woodgrain or smooth / etched finishes , homeowners are spoilt for choice .
To date , the best-selling colours have been the more subtle shades of Anthracite , Agate Grey and Slate . However , stand out shades of blue are also on-trend , with the cool blues of Wedgewood and Cotswold on the rise , along with the brighter blue of Twilight . The quirky Stormy Seas and delicate Dusky Pink are also gaining in popularity . Style-wise , the new Eaton door is proving popular , while the classic Carnoustie remains a top-seller .
DoorCo has also added to their range of decorative glass , including the launch of the bevelled heart and flower motif of Blossom and the art deco-inspired Speakeasy , which includes a custom house number design .
Meanwhile , Glazerite is continuing to add to its door furniture and smart technology offering . Like DoorCo , the fabricator ’ s partnership with Brisant Secure is built on collaboration , innovation
and adding value for installers , demonstrated by its decision to offer Ultion Sweet door furniture as standard on all doors , at no extra cost to installers .
Ultion Sweet appeals to end customers because it strikes the perfect balance of aesthetics and durability . What ’ s more , Ultion Sweet ’ s exceptional performance and unparalleled weather resistance come backed with a 20-year anti-corrosion manufacturer-to-consumer
guarantee , which means homeowners register directly with Brisant , taking the pressure of potential ( though unlikely ) future call backs for installers .
With high security features essential and smart technology practically a must for today ’ s homeowners , the Ultion threestar cylinder Glazerite fits as standard is another differentiator . Meanwhile , a simple upgrade gives homeowners access to Ultion Nuki Plus , which offers a host of clever locking features including smartphone control and fingerprint recognition , adding another point of difference for Glazerite ’ s installers .
When it comes to choice , the leading fabricator doesn ’ t stop there ; almost all of its doors are supplied using the high-performance Avantis multipoint locking system , which , with a simple upgrade , can be transformed into the Kubu smart technology offering .
