Over a series of phases, Clement has supplied conservation rooflights for this idyllic farmhouse and surrounding cottages in the Wiltshire countryside.
The chalk stone, Georgian and Victorian era, building is typical of the local area and throughout the years, it has been sympathetically extended by its owners. It is thought that originally the house would have been thatched, but now the roof is made from an attractive Glendyne Slate, a natural slate rock from Canada. The owners of the property chose this because it resembles Welsh slate in both composition and quality.
A number of different sized rooflights have been installed: Clement 2 and 3, and a side hung escape rooflight.
All of the rooflights have been made in a slate profile to ensure the perfect finish against the stunning new roof.
A combination of brass and chrome hand winders were provided to suit the various interiors. The client chose to add an actuator to the bathroom rooflight to make opening and closing a breeze!
They said “In a house, such as this one, it is important to conserve the original qualities and charm of the building. The Clement rooflights used here are a well thought out product and fulfill their purpose. Helping to ensure that the original character of the home will be retained.”
