Building Fabric Dormer Wins Award
Keylite’s ModuLite system has been named Best Building Fabric Product at this year’s Housebuilder Product Awards, beating off stiff competition to take home the coveted title for the second time.
The Housebuilder Product Awards recognises brands delivering solutions and innovations to the housebuilding industry, supporting new home development. The awards are judged by a panel of industry experts, including representatives from the Future Homes Hub, NHBC and leading national housebuilders.
Over the past 12 months, Keylite Roof Windows has focused on developing products that support housebuilders’ transition to low-carbon homes, by aligning with Part L and the Future Homes Standard (FHS).
Sits with solar
The ModuLite dormer system offers enhanced thermal performance, exceeding Part L requirements and its ability to be installed alongside solar photovoltaic panels supports compliance with the FHS without compromising kerb appeal.
Offering 25 per cent more natural light compared to traditional dormers, ModuLite creates brighter, higher-value top-floor accommodation. Its contemporary design supports usable roof space without the perceived mass of a third storey, a key appeal for homeowners.
Jim Blanthorne, the managing director of Keylite Roof Windows Group, said: “This past year, we have focused on developing products that help housebuilders meet evolving regulations, contribute to the UK’s net-zero target by 2050 and deliver proven cost savings for housebuilders.”
The awards
Now in their 14th year, the awards continue to spotlight excellence in products and systems that support new home development in the UK. A winner’s lunch will take place this summer in London.
As a winner of a Housebuilder Product Award, Keylite has automatically become a finalist in the ‘Product of the Year’ category at the 2026 Housebuilder Awards later this year.
Keylite provides a comprehensive range of roof windows, blinds, timber loft ladders, flashings, electric operations kits and accessories.
