The Keystone Group is delighted that two of our group products have been Highly Commended at the 2015 Housebuilder Product Awards.

Our innovative Keylite Futuretherm roof window has been Highly Commended for ‘Best Building Fabric Product’ and our new and improved Smartroof Prism roof panel system for ‘Best Brand New Product’.

The new Keylite Roof Windows range with Futuretherm technology is now the preferred choice of many leading builders, featuring a unique integrated Expanding Thermal Collar, which stands apart from all other products in the market.

Keylite’s research demonstrated that accessory thermal collars were seldom bought or fitted. This results in a 20mm gap between the window frame and the roof timbers remaining uninsulated, causing cold bridging and heat loss in otherwise well-insulated roofs. With Futuretherm, however, the installer fits the window as normal and then pulls the release tapes to activate the foam collar. The foam collar instantly starts to expand, closing the gap around the frame in a simple action.

smartroof Prism is a new SIP system for room-in-roof configurations, which can be installed in just a few hours rather than the days taken for a traditional roof.

smartroof delivers major benefits in terms of thermal performance, consistent quality, site safety and speed of construction. Prism’s enhanced insulation and airtightness enables builders to comply with building regulations in relation to fabric energy efficiency and the need to achieve higher performance levels, compliant with Part L 2013. The system offers consistent thermal performance as low as 0.09w/m2k, which can be computer modelled aiding design enhancements, accurately assessing the building’s efficiency at the design stage.

Sean Coyle, CEO for the Keystone Group comments; “The Housebuilder Product Awards recognise innovation and excellence and at Keystone we pride ourselves on developing innovative products which solve real problems on site. We are honoured that industry experts have recognised this and highly commended two of our group products”.
