Cala Says Cheers To Keylite
Four different house types in Cala Homes’ Knights Grove development feature Keylite Roof Windows’ new Fixed Skylights, which have been designed for roofs pitched from 10 degrees upwards.
They allow for up to 44 per cent more daylight than a standard centre pivot window and a higher level of security, it is claimed.
Built in Newbury in Berkshire, the Knights Grove development boasts a selection of 3, 4 and 5-bedroom family homes. Built with modern family living in mind, Cala Homes aims to make energy-efficient, low-maintenance homes in outstanding countryside locations.
Security
Keylite’s Fixed Skylight is compliant with Security in dwellings: Approved Document Q of the building regulations.
The purpose of Part Q is to make a window sufficiently robust to resist being levered open or having the glass pane 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.
Flashings
Cala Homes has been a solus Keylite installer for many years and the Fixed Skylight was specially designed from collaboration and feedback from Cala.
Keylite’s Hi-Therm high performance glazing and Deep Tile Flashing was also specified for the development.
10 degrees
Lewis Scott, the national account manager for Keylite, says: “Our Fixed Skylight takes 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 is BBA tested and approved – providing extra security and peace of mind.”
Quickfit
All of Keylite’s roof windows offer some quickfit characteristics as standard, such as factory pre-installed Flick-Fit brackets, which are ideal for installers; and an integrated expanding thermal collar, which appeals to housebuilders and architects for its ‘straight out the box’ solution to enhanced thermal performance.
