Situated in Preston, Lancashire, the Walkers Glade development by Anwyl Homes features Keylite Roof Windows’ ModuLite system across selected three-storey homes. The system helps maximise natural daylight and headroom while improving installation efficiency and reducing costs for housebuilders.
With a collection of three, four and five-bedroom homes, Walkers Glade offers homeowners access to vast green spaces, ponds and landscaped walks with easy access to Preston city centre.
The ModuLite system features in two of the development’s three-storey house types, the Edgworth and the Darwen, including their show homes, alongside a selection of Keylite roof windows.
Delivering up to 25 per cent more daylight than a standard GRP dormer, ModuLite sits higher in the roof to provide additional headroom without compromising on aesthetics. Its sleek, contemporary design enhances kerb appeal while making the most of available space in three-storey homes.
Suitable for roof pitches from 10 to 75 degrees, ModuLite combines two Keylite 04- and 06-sized Top Hung roof windows with an insulated timber upstand.
Keylite’s award-winning integrated expanding thermal collar helps housebuilders achieve airtightness, reducing the risk of cold bridging and supporting improved Psi values in SAP energy calculations.
Compared with traditional GRP flat-top and apex dormers, ModuLite can deliver savings of up to £600 per unit for housebuilders. Supplied as a complete kit, the system includes an insulated timber upstand, brackets and aluminium components for integration with the roof tiles.
With up to 24 units transported on a single lorry, ModuLite helps reduce transport costs and on-site storage requirements, while minimising the risk of transit damage. The system offers low U-values to support the thermal performance of new homes.
Prefabricated off-site, the system also supports safer, more efficient installation. Anwyl Homes was able to assemble ModuLite at ground level before craning the system into position, reducing installers’ time spent working at height and their exposure to fall risks.
Daniel Owens, Commercial Director at Anwyl Homes, said: “We’re very pleased with the cost savings offered by Keylite’s ModuLite system compared to a traditional GRP dormer. Keylite’s extensive UK stock holding has also helped us avoid delays caused by long dormer lead times and keep our build programme on track.”
Lewis Scott, National Account Manager at Keylite Roof Windows, added: “We are delighted to have supplied Keylite roof windows and our ModuLite system to Anwyl Homes at Walkers Glade. ModuLite helps housebuilders deliver a faster, safer and more efficient build, while giving homeowners a bright, spacious top-floor living area.”
Winner of the Best Building Fabric Product award at the 2026 Housebuilder Product Awards, ModuLite combines installation efficiency and cost savings for housebuilders with increased headroom and natural daylight for homeowners.
Keylite offers a comprehensive range of roof windows, blinds, timber loft ladders, flashings, electric operation kits and accessories.
