With the UK government targeting 1.5 million new homes over the next five years, housebuilders are looking for reliable partners to meet evolving regulations and market demands. Keylite Roof Windows is poised to support this growth with innovative solutions designed to address industry challenges.
Recent data highlights the obstacles ahead, with the National House Building Council (NHBC) reporting a 23 per cent year-on-year decline in new home registrations for Q2 2024. While there was a 34 per cent increase from the previous quarter, these figures emphasise the need for accelerated efforts to meet housing targets.
In response to these challenges, the government has implemented significant reforms, including an overhaul of the planning system and a £3 billion investment to unlock housing and stimulate growth. These initiatives aim to streamline processes and encourage development across the nation.
Amid these developments, Keylite has become the preferred supplier for numerous national and regional housebuilders, offering market-leading products that simplify compliance with updated Building Regulations in England and Wales.
Thermal bridging is a key concern for housebuilders, as it can lead to heat loss and reduced energy efficiency. Keylite tackles this with its patented Integrated Expanding Thermal Collar, which ensures the thermal integrity of the window. This innovation eliminates the need for an extra thermal collar, helping meet Part L requirements, enhancing airtightness, and improving Psi values for SAP calculations.
Additionally, Keylite’s pre-fitted Flick-Fit Brackets simplify the positioning of windows from box to roof in just minutes, supporting a more seamless and efficient fitting process for housebuilders.
Lewis Scott, Keylite’s National Account Manager, said: “Despite ongoing economic pressures, we remain committed to improving efficiency and strengthening relationships with our housebuilder partners. Meeting the government’s housing targets will take real investment, and we’re proud to support the industry with innovative, time-saving solutions.
“Keylite has always been proactive, combining traditional values with a hands-on, professional approach. We focus on generating leads, driving sales, and offering honest, expert advice to our customers.”
As Europe’s fastest-growing roof window manufacturer, Keylite offers a comprehensive range of roof windows, blinds, timber loft ladders, flashings, electric operation kits and accessories, positioning itself as a valuable ally for housebuilders aiming to meet government targets and deliver high-quality homes.
