The Rooflight Co explains how its CPD, Conservation Rooflights in Context, goes beyond the classroom and into the heart of high-quality British manufacturing.

Preserving the character of heritage and listed buildings while ensuring its continued relevance for future generations can be a complex challenge. Balancing the need for authenticity with stringent modern performance requirements calls for not just technical expertise, but also a deep understanding of historical context and thoughtful design. The Rooflight Co’s CPD: Conservation Rooflights in Context stands apart as a reliable source for support.

This is not your typical CPD. Hosted at The Rooflight Co’s Manufacturing Studio in the picturesque Cotswolds, the experience invites architects to step beyond the classroom and into the heart of high-quality British manufacturing. It is an engaging, hands-on learning opportunity designed to immerse participants in the entire journey of The Conservation Rooflight, from concept to creation.

A highlight of the day is the guided tour through The Glass Room, where The Rooflight Co produces its own Insulating Glass Units (IGUs). Here, visitors can see the precision and innovation behind glazing solutions that exceed the rigorous standards set by the Glass and Glazing Federation (GGF). This behind-the-scenes access allows architects to witness the processes that ensure every unit performs to the highest standard, while simultaneously meeting the aesthetic sensitivities required in conservation work.

The CPD is led by The Rooflight Co’s experienced design engineers, who bring decades of combined expertise to the table. They provide a comprehensive overview of what is required to sensitively preserve heritage buildings, while meeting 21st-century performance expectations. Participants are encouraged to bring their own challenges and questions, fostering a collaborative environment where knowledge is shared and solutions are sparked.

The real-world application of the learning is what makes this CPD truly unique. By standing in the very place where each rooflight is crafted, attendees gain a tangible understanding of how thoughtful design choices translate into lasting architectural solutions. It’s about seeing materials, understanding assembly, and speaking directly with the experts who bring each product to life.

As one architect succinctly put it, “If you have a problem to solve around daylighting, give it to the design team at The Rooflight Co, and they will solve it.” This quote encapsulates the essence of The Rooflight Co’s approach – collaborative, creative, and relentlessly focused on finding the right solution for each individual project. Whether you are designing for a vast historic building being converted into a museum or renovating a Victorian private home, the insights offered in this CPD will directly inform how to introduce natural light sympathetically into your work and elevate your practice.

The Rooflight Co is passionate about supporting architects at all levels in understanding natural daylighting in conservation contexts. The Conservation Rooflights in Context CPD is more than a learning session, it is a rare opportunity to connect with craft, explore cutting-edge manufacturing, and take away ideas you can apply immediately in your own projects.

This is heritage preservation brought to life. Don’t just learn about conservation…experience it.
