Bloor Homes commissioned Whitesales to provide Em-Glaze modular ridgelights for a new residential development in Windsor called Winkfield Residential Scheme. The ridgelights were needed to provide natural light to the deep interiors of the seven luxury five-bedroom homes being built, as rooflights can bring in three times more daylight than windows. Whitesales provided sleek, minimalist ridgelights that complemented the home designs and filled the interiors with bright natural light. Two ridgelights were installed in each home, one over the dining area and one over the landing and stairwell.

The challenge
Bloor Homes is a private housebuilding firm who are very selective over
locations, plots, materials and creating serene, calming interiors.
At Mayfield Place in Winkfield, on the edge of Windsor, Bloor had planned
and designed seven five-bedroomed luxury houses. The footprints and
proportions were generous and the rooms spacious; yet deep interiors run
the risk of feeling gloomy and undesirable without adequate light. Since
rooflights draw in three times more daylight than an equivalent-sized
window – wherever the sun may be – the success of the final design rested
in no small way on the quality of internal light.
The solution
Whitesales were asked to provide sleek, minimalist rooflights which would
complement the homes’ design and drench the interiors with natural light
to provide a bright, uplifting and opulent-feeling atmosphere.
Em-Glaze modular ridgelights are modular rooflights available in standard
sizes from stock, with a choice of glazing and ventilation options. They
exceed all regulations for impact-resistance, durability, environmental
and thermal performance. Whitesales also hold them ready for overnight
delivery, which suited the developer’s ever-changing construction schedule.
Two rooflights were supplied and installed for each home; one in the deep
open-plan dining areas and the other above the first-floor landing and
stairwell, casting natural light through both floors.
