The need for sustainable building practices is not just a trend. It’s fast becoming an essential element of future planning proposals to demonstrate environmental objectives. Construction firms must recognise the environmental impact of their builds and materials as we edge towards the 2050 deadline to be net zero.
Roofing is a key component of many construction projects and has recently come under scrutiny when it comes to sustainable practices. We are going to explore how the EDGEsky roofing system has been developed to be both eco-conscious and easy to use.
Shining a light on green builds.
We like to keep things simple. The EDGEsky roof system includes not only the all-important rooflight, but also all of the corrugated sheets, membranes, glazing bars, end closure systems, and roofing tiles you will need to complete your project.
EDGEsky rooflights – the aluminium roof lantern and flat glass rooflight – have been designed to maximise the natural light entering a building. Say goodbye to artificial lighting on a gloomy day, EDGEsky rooflights allow light to flood into your room, reducing the household’s daily energy consumption.
Easy to install, low maintenance, and highly durable.
The EDGEsky roofing system has been manufactured for ease of installation. For example, our glazing bars have an innovative and easy-to-use snap-down system to help you secure a new glazing panel. With an easy-to-follow assembly process, your team can deliver high-quality results in minimal time. If your company is based in the South-East, we can also ensure next-day delivery for any stock parts, reducing the need for your team to travel, thereby cutting down on the carbon footprint of your build.
We pride ourselves on producing high quality, low maintenance products. This means that our EDGEsky roof system has been developed using highly durable materials. By investing in the core materials of our products, the need for replacement parts or repair work down the line has been significantly reduced. Not only does this make life easier for homeowners, who are free to simply enjoy the beautiful views, it also ensures that fewer resources will be consumed over the lifetime of the building.
Made in the UK.
Supporting local industries is pivotal in reducing the carbon footprint associated with transport. Edge’s commitment to UK-manufactured products ensures a more eco-friendly supply chain from production to project site.
The most efficient in class
Where environmental impact is integral to building design, U-Values have become a critical measure of success. Outstanding U-Values in our products demonstrate our commitment to not only improving the performance but also reducing the environmental footprint of our building products. By choosing our EDGEsky products, you’re opting for a greener, more sustainable future without sacrificing style or substance.
Thermal efficiency and U-Values that matter
Thermal efficient (or ‘energy-saving’) windows and doors, play a crucial role in the energy conservation of a building. They are engineered to minimise the use of artificial heating (and cooling systems for those warmer countries!) by maintaining a consistent indoor temperature through insulation.
By doing so, the windows and doors reduce the transfer of heat, keeping the space warm during winter and cool during summer. Beyond the benefit of significant energy and cost savings, thermally efficient windows and doors also enhance comfort levels inside. These windows block damaging UV rays that can fade furniture and wood finishes and positively contribute to a home’s overall energy performance rating. Reducing household energy consumption is a step in the right direction for environmental sustainability.
Our EDGEsky aluminium roof lantern boasts complete U-Values from 1.2 and features high performance glazing. Not only are the lanterns stunning in appearance with outstanding attention to detail, but they also keep valuable heat in, an important factor when considering glazing for properties.
Our flat glass rooflight also has an overall U Value (double glazing and frame) of 1.3 w/m²k and glass U Value of 1.0 w/m2k. Simplistic and boasting modern minimalism, our rooflights demonstrate exceptional thermal performance.
U-Values are of huge importance, and emphasis will continue to be put on U-values in the future as we aim to improve the performance and environmental impact of future construction projects.
