Premium Electric Roof Windows
Mark and Helen McCall have always been advocates for smart home living and constructed their first self-build in 1999.
As their love and knowledge of smart home technology grew, their next goal was to build a fully automated property that would prioritise low energy and low running costs, all integrated into one smart home system.
Working with 2020 Architects, they tackled their next self-build in 2019, with the building designed to be south-facing. Keylite Centre Pivot Electric Roof Windows were specified to allow for additional light to access the open-plan living area and also to help ventilate the large open-plan space from potential solar gains as a result of the large gable window and two sets of sliding doors.
Easily controlled by a handheld remote or wall-mounted switch, the roof windows helped support Mark and Helen’s vision of a fully automated property in the stunning drumlins of County Down.
2020 Architects understood that we needed some high-performance roof windows that would complement the extra insulation, air tightness and other low-energy features we incorporated into the property. Being able to open up our roof windows to expel any excess heat has been fantastic, particularly this summer.
Yet once the windows are closed, Keylite’s fully integrated expanding thermal collar and triple glazing ensure that minimal heat can escape, which has made the windows perfectly compatible with the rest of the features in our home.
