Our new Accoya® timber range offers optimal and innovative thermal, acoustic and environmental performance.

  • Greenhouse effect, using Life Cycle Assessment (LCA).
  • The resource and origin rating.

The 94 mm leaf achieves a Ud value of  = 0.75 W/m².K*

As part of this eco-design approach, Bel'M has chosen to use bio-sourced thermal insulation (wood fibres).

Neo Bathroom Winking.jpg

From the inside looking out, the neo® rooflight from the Rooflight Company replicates the look of a sheet of glass placed directly in the ceiling, offering a completely unobtrusive view out with its clean lines. It achieves this look through its thoughtful design which allows the plasterboard to be taken right up to the white internal lining, leaving behind no remnants of frames or surround.
On the outside, it can sit seamlessly level with the roof tile to offer a perfect balance of form and function.
Produced from high quality materials with optional concealed electric openings, the neo® perfectly complements any project.
Standard sizes and bespoke options available.
