Keylite Roof Windows (Keylite), part of The Keystone Group, has been a trusted supplier to national housebuilder Taylor Wimpey for more than five years, and is now delivering its innovative ModuLite system across multiple UK housing developments.
Already making an impact across regional sites, ModuLite is brightening interiors, boosting energy efficiency and simplifying on-site logistics.
At Swinston Rise in Dinnington, Sheffield – a development of contemporary three and four-bedroom homes – the system brings natural light into every corner, creating spacious, low-energy living environments. Positive homeowner feedback has paved the way for its rollout across an expanding portfolio of Taylor Wimpey developments nationwide.
Developed in collaboration with Keylite’s sister company Smartroof, ModuLite is compatible with roof pitches from 10 to 75 degrees and combines two Keylite Top Hung roof windows with an insulated timber upstand.
This design floods interiors with daylight, increasing brightness by up to 25 per cent compared to traditional dormers, while enhancing thermal performance.
At Swinston Rise, the ModuLite system integrates seamlessly into the second-floor roofline of several three-bedroom homes, brightening master bedrooms and ensuites while enhancing the sense of space.
ModuLite also streamlines construction and site logistics for housebuilders. Up to 24 units can be transported on a single lorry, reducing transportation costs, minimising site storage needs and lowering the risk of damage in transit.
With its pre-insulated design, ModuLite reduces heat loss and supports the delivery of low-energy homes. The system exceeds Part L requirements and meets the Future Homes Standard (FHS), with low U-values for improved energy efficiency. Compared to traditional flat top and apex dormers, ModuLite can save housebuilders upwards of £1,000 per plot.
Homeowner Adam Wilcock, from the Sheffield site, commented:
“The ModuLite system helps us make the most of space and natural light. The two windows give us flexible ventilation options, and the blackout blinds create total darkness, which is great in the evenings. Together, they offer the perfect balance of comfort, practicality and style.”
Christina and Louis, homeowners at a Taylor Wimpey site in Bristol, said: “We really like the Keylite ModuLite system and the modern look it gives the outside of our home. The roof windows let lots of light into our room and give the feeling of space, which is great.”
Lewis Scott, National Account Manager for Keylite, added:
“Our ModuLite system is engineered for superior thermal performance and watertight protection. With 24 units transportable on a single lorry, ModuLite helps cut fuel consumption, streamline site logistics and support housebuilders in meeting evolving building regulations.”
Supplied as a comprehensive kit, the ModuLite system includes the insulated timber upstand, roof windows, brackets and aluminium components for integration with roof tiles, ensuring straightforward assembly.
Taylor Wimpey builds more than 10,000 high-quality, energy-efficient new homes each year across the UK, achieving the highest average NHBC Construction Quality Review (CQR) score of any major housebuilder – a true testament to its commitment to quality.
