Roof Maker
19th September 2017

ROOF MAKER has been shortlisted for Fabricator of the Year in the G17 Awards.

Since being bought by private equity group Next Wave Partners LLP in November 2016, the Roof Maker workforce has risen from around 59 to 90 employees, as the firm has spent £250k in expanding its presence in the trade sector. Another £100k has gone into research and development, producing two new cutting-edge products - O-Lite, a distinctive circular roof light, and LuxLite, the highest-specification roof light currently available for pitched roofs.

CEO Paul Mildenstein said: “We’ve been delighted with our performance over the last twelve months we’ve seen a huge increase in turnover, driven by some extremely successful new products. But we’ve also got big ambitions for the future.

“We want to challenge the idea that all roof light products are the same – that a roof window is essentially just a roof window. Over years of intensive investment and product development, we’ve built a portfolio of best-in-class natural light solutions with minimalistic design, energy efficiency and all-round performance that stand them out from the crowd – but in the months and years ahead, we want to push boundaries even further.

Roof Maker’s new generation of roof lights are triple-glazed, Argon-filled, and offering U-values as low as 0.6.
