Contemporary
aluminium roof light
» » OVER 17 YEARS,
Leicester-based ROOF Maker
has quickly risen from locally-
focused startup to a large and
innovative supplier of high-grade
rooflights and other natural light
products. Now, bolstered by
significant investment from private
equity finance, the fast-growing
firm is looking to advance on all
fronts – including by expanding
their product portfolio with the
introduction of LuxLite, a best-in-
class pitched roof light solution.
LuxLite is a sleek, stylishly
contemporary aluminium roof
light. Equally suited to tiled and
slate roofing, the innovative
frameless window has been
specifically designed to maximise
views and the intake of natural
light, while offering outstanding
performance across the board.
LuxLite offers superb energy
efficiency, capable of achieving
U-values as low as 0.6W/m2k
(a triple-glazed window usually
achieves 0.7), and is built to last –
not only incorporating toughened
glass, but coming with a 20-year
seal warranty. The glazed unit,
spacer bar and fixings are all also
concealed and protected from
UV light within a neat black resin
border.
“LuxLite epitomises the
approach we’ve had to product
design since the very beginning,”
said Chief Design Officer and
company founder Scott Nicholas.
“It excels on all fronts – from
style, to robustness, to energy
efficiency. We’re delighted and
proud to be able to say that,
in LuxLite, we’ve produced yet
another best-in-class offering,
perfectly positioned to help
installers capitalise on the massive
opportunities that exist at the
higher end of the market.”
LuxLite joins a host of other
industry-leading products in
Roof Maker’s extensive range.
The company’s fixed flat roof
lights are respected throughout
the industry for their minimalist
elegance and fantastic all-round
performance. Triple-glazed, Argon-
filled glass units offer outstanding
thermal efficiency, while the
low-E insulation glass itself can be
delivered in subtle blue or bronze
glare-reducing tints as well as
clear. Roof Maker also offer chain-
actuated, electric hinged opening
flat roof lights, and pyramid-
shaped roof lights featuring
ultra-thin glazing connectors that
maximise the intake of natural
light.
Founded in 2001 by Scott
Nicholas and Rachel Owen, Roof
Maker has firmly established itself
as a leading supplier of premium
roof light products. Last year, the
firm was acquired for £30m by
private equity group Next Wave
Partners LLP, and is planning to
significantly expand its operations
in the months and years ahead.
