OPEN THE WINDOW OF OPPORTUNITY WITH KEYLITE ’ S NEW MINI DORMER SYSTEM
A new Mini Dormer System has been developed by Keylite Roof Windows ( Keylite ) that can be conveniently built on the ground – saving installation time and improving safety for contractors working at height on busy housing developments .
The product , developed in partnership with Keylite ’ s sister company Smartroof ,
has been designed to fit on a roof from 10 degrees to 75 degrees and features two Keylite roof windows and an insulated timber upstand .
Everything , from the timber upstand and roof windows to the brackets and aluminium that goes around the roof tiles , is included within the Mini Dormer System kit , making construction and installation as straightforward as possible for housebuilders .
Keylite ’ s Mini Dormer System also adds 25 per cent more daylight to a room . A typical dormer would have a glazed area of approximately 1.5m 2 , whereas Keylite ’ s new system will provide 1.9m 2 .
Whilst the standard Keylite roof window sits a lot lower in the roof ; this new system has lifted the head of the window up out of the roof – gaining significant head space and providing an extra selling point for potential buyers .
The opening on the system has a handle that is conveniently placed at the top of the window , which controls ventilation , giving the option of fresh air flow even when the window is locked and secure .
This can give peace-of mind for occupants with young children and also aid housebuilders in the selling process .
Colin Wells , Head of Technical at Keylite , comments : “ The Mini Dormer System is the perfect practical solution for housebuilders wanting to create a well-ventilated and bright space for end-users .
“ As 24 units can be delivered on the same lorry , this helps save fuel on transportation and space on site compared to transit of traditional pre-assembled dormers . Plus , installers are not at risk of having to work at height , as the timber structure and windows are installed on the ground before the system is craned up onto the roof .”
All Keylite roof windows are CE marked , meet BBA Approval and adhere to standard ISO 9001:2015 . The Keylite Mini Dormer System has also been through condensation risk analysis and raised no concerns .
For housebuilders concerned about thermal efficiency , Keylite ’ s new system has a U-value of 0.15 W / m 2 K for the dormer roof and 0.22 W / m 2 K for the cheeks – resulting
in maximum heat loss protection to keep a space warmer for longer .
Plus , every Keylite Roof Window is fitted with an Integrated Expanding Thermal Collar as standard , which improves thermal performance and helps housebuilders achieve Part L of the Building Regulations . Keylite is also working on integrating its new Mini Dormer System with solar panels , ahead of the 2025 Future Homes Standard ( FHS ).
