Alumen, the leading SMART and Schueco aluminium fabricator, is getting creative with its recently launched range of rooflights by manufacturing a unique octagon rooflight from its Helios range.<\/p>\n

Alan Robinson, Alumen\u2019s Managing Director says: \u201cWe have enjoyed great success with the rooflight range we launched in December last year.\u00a0 Our quick turnaround, off the shelf standard sizes are moving well through our online shop, but we are also getting a lot of enquiries for something a bit different and unique.\u00a0 As an experienced aluminium fabricator, with a heritage in manufacturing a wide range of products, we love a challenge and this bespoke request gave us the perfect chance to test the capabilities of the Helios design.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Helios is the contemporary square rooflight with a raised chamfered edge.\u00a0 Available as fixed or with a smooth chain operated manual or electric opener, the options on size and shape are endless \u2013 as demonstrated in this unique project. This project required us to fabricated the rooflight into an octagon shape to form the centre of the roof in a garden pavilion.\u00a0 The pavilion, part of a hand carved Cotswold stone building in a courtyard of outbuildings, will be used to hold chamber music concerts amongst other events.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe rooflight itself was large spanning 2387mm and weighing nearly 200Kg.\u00a0 It had to be lifted into place using glass lifters and a crane, and despite the unpredictable weather we have been experiencing, was installed according to plan.\u00a0 For more information on this project please visit https:\/\/www.alumen.co.uk\/Alumen\/Octagon-Rooflight.aspx<\/a>\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe \u2018Rooflights from Alumen\u2019 range offers everything you would expect from a rooflight or lantern with exceptional quality and attention to detail. Along with outstanding thermal properties via thermally broken aluminium profiles, they can be paired with a wide variety of glazing options to provide the thermal and solar performance you require.\u00a0 Standard sizes ranging up to 3000mm x 1000mm are in stock prices start as low as \u00a3595.\u00a0 All standard stock items are available, via our online shop, on next day delivery across the UK.<\/p>\n
