Ridge On The River Bann
Situated in the peaceful neighbourhood of Gilford, Northern Ireland, an ultramodern self-build has been built with bespoke windows from Keylite.
The property is home to Clarke Graham and his family. It has stunning views of the River Bann and the surrounding rural landscape.
Peak performance
Graham, set out to create his ‘perfect’ family home with this extensive 2,600 square foot farmhouse-style build, completed with a sleek aluminium finish to achieve a modern appearance.
With high ceilings and oak beams, Graham wanted the peak of the house to become a standout feature. He approached local roof window manufacturer Keylite Roof Windows to design a bespoke ridge roof window System (RG) capable of creating a striking beacon of natural light in the main kitchen and living space.
Keylite supplied the six non-opening fixed skylights to create a striking architectural feature that floods the interior with daylight. Through bespoke flashing and recessing, the windows form a seamless, continuous glazing across the ridge of the roof, creating a bright and airy living area.
Custom design
The angled glazing system, installed over the apex of the pitched roof, was custom-designed for the Graham home and allowed for complete creative freedom during the architectural process. Ridge roof windows are particularly effective at drawing in high levels of light when the sun is directly overhead for much of the day.
By maximising daylight, ridge roof windows create an enhanced sense of space and openness, often giving the impression of a transparent roof, an effect highly sought after in contemporary builds.
Thermals
The windows offer excellent thermal benefits and come fitted as standard with Keylite’s Integrated Expanding Thermal Collar and Flick-Fit brackets.
Domestic & commercial
Keylite Ridge Roof Windows are suitable for both domestic and commercial builds. They are available for the following ranges: Centre Pivot (CP), Top Hung (TH), Conservation (CW) and White Finish (WF) Roof Windows, all with the option of an Integral Blind (I).
