Engineered for performance, speed, and aesthetics, ICONIQ is a next-generation aluminium roof lantern system designed to elevate contemporary architectural design while streamlining on-site installation and reducing build time.

Developed with fabricators, specifiers, and developers in mind, ICONIQ delivers an unrivalled combination of thermal performance, structural integrity, and design flexibility. With patented Q-Lok technology – an innovative slide-and-lock mechanism – ICONIQ eliminates the need for drilling or complex fixings. The result? A rapid installation time of under one hour, making it one of the most efficient systems available for flat roof applications.

Designed for Performance. Engineered for Scale.

  • Patent-pending Q-Lok system enables a tool-free, push-fit assembly -dramatically reducing time on site and labour overheads.
  • Unmatched sizing capabilities – available up to an industry-leading 4m x 8m footprint, providing architects and developers with maximum flexibility for larger glazed areas.
  • GRP eaves ring beam offers superior strength-to-weight ratio while delivering best-in-class thermal performance and reducing cold bridging.
  • Bespoke glazing retention system ensures enhanced security and structural integrity, including anti-tamper frame detailing.

Architectural Appeal Meets Technical Excellence

Designed to meet the rising demand for slimline architectural rooflights, ICONIQ features minimal sightlines, integrated LED tray options, and a palette of finishes to match any project aesthetic. Fully customisable, it is available in any RAL colour, with glass options including self-cleaning and tinted variants in Blue, Aqua, Bronze, and Neutral.

Standard colourways – Anthracite Grey, Black, and White – are available across four most-specified sizes via over 200 Eurocell trade branches or online.

Thermal Efficiency Built In

The ICONIQ system incorporates a thermally-broken GRP ring beam that significantly reduces thermal bridging, helping achieve compliance with Part L building regulations. This ensures energy-efficient performance across both domestic extensions and commercial applications such as garden rooms, education, and hospitality environments.

Futureproofing Your Specification

Since launching the UK’s first slimline pitched lantern in 2013 with Skypod, Eurocell has consistently pushed the boundaries of daylighting systems. ICONIQ marks the next chapter, aligning with the growing importance of natural light in architectural design and occupant wellbeing – a trend underpinned by the architectural lighting market’s projected growth from £322.7m in 2024 to £463m by 2030.

“ICONIQ represents a new benchmark for the roof lantern category,” says Sean Bunyan, Roof Lantern Specialist at Eurocell. “Its ease of installation, expansive size range, and thermal performance give architects and specifiers a unique solution that doesn’t compromise on design or delivery.”

Innovation that opens up even more opportunity

Natural light is a welcome guest in every home. So Eurocell engineers have developed an innovative new way for homeowners to invite the maximum light levels in.

Named after one of the brightest stars in the northern hemisphere, Equinox Vega floods conservatories with light, creating an impression of more space.

Equinox Vega features large full height glazed areas of up to 1000mm wide and 3000mm high of clear glass, takingthe Equinox roof system to a whole new level in terms of size, strength, efficiency and illumination.

Intelligent design for a wide range of roof options

As Equinox offers variable pitches between 5-35˚, you can now offer a wider range of roof options – including lean-to’s, previously unavailable for tiled roofs. Eurocell now also offer fixed pitch aluminium options for 15˚ & 25˚ making for a simpler roof, which will cater for over 60% of designs.

The sustainable choice

Paired with Envirotile, our precision manufactured recycled polymer tile system with excellent green credentials – you can now have a solution with reduced environmental impact.

Envirotile is manufactured from 75% recycled product and is fully recyclable at end of life.

The lightweight composition and interlocking fixing system means it is quicker and easier to install, saving time compared to traditional tiles. Envirotile offers a complete dry fix system with no mess cutting and at less than 8 kilos per m², it is the lightest synthetic roof tile making it the ultimate choice within lightweight roofing.

Style and colour to suit

Available in four different colours and two stylish finishes, Envirotile has something for every project. The standard tile provides a beautifully textured and contemporary finish, whilst the slate effect tile is perfect for more traditional looking jobs.

Designed to withstand the worst of weathers, Envirotile is fully guaranteed to perform in severe UK wind loads and has been weather tested up to 147 miles per hour. Eurocell also offer a free replacement service for any tiles dislodged by gale force winds up to 65 mph (subject to our terms and conditions) and can guarantee the product for 40 years.

Commitment to design

Commenting on the updates to Equinox, Head of New Product Design & Development, Ian Kernaghan said: “The latest version of our Equinox conservatory roof shows how committed we are to continually improving and developing our products. As styles change, new regulations emerge and materials technology evolves, installers know they can rely on Eurocell to give them the products they need to adapt and compete.”

What hasn’t changed, Eurocell are quick to point out, are the quality assurance and service support they have always provided. The complete Equinox system is guaranteed for 10 years and carries Local Authority Building Control (LABC) and LABSS certification.

Crittall wins Trinity College plaudits

A new building in the grounds of historic Trinity College, Oxford, illustrates how 21st Century environmental performance can be married seamlessly with traditional aesthetic requirements.

Crittall’s T60 thermally broken steel windows make a major contribution to the Levine Building’s sustainability credentials.

The new buildings have been designed by ADAM Architecture in what is described as a restrained classical manner to augment the distinctive character of the surrounding conservation area that includes listed structures. It is the first major building project to have taken place at Trinity College for more than 50 years.

A theatre seating 200 people, study bedrooms for students, teaching rooms, kitchens and ancillary space have been created in the new three-storey building whose stone-faced elevations have been finished in honey coloured ashlar limestone to complement its heritage setting.  The building also features a pitched, slate covered roof.

Niall Kelor, of main contractors Gilbert-Ash, said it was the first time he had worked with Crittall, and he was very pleased with both the experience and the result.

“It all worked very well. The installation team were great,” he said.  As to the end result, that was aesthetically very pleasing. “There is a good colour contrast between the windows and the ashlar. The client is very happy.”

The T60 windows are set within stone surrounds and finished in an attractive bronze coloured Duralife polyester powder coating. Many are fitted with trickle ventilation. Triple glass is installed in the windows of the theatre auditorium for improved sound attenuation.  T60 features an advanced high-density polyurethane isolator as a thermal barrier that together with double or triple glazing surpasses the requirements of current regulations.

The cold formed steel profiles nevertheless retain Crittall’s hallmark slender sightlines that ensure maximum light ingress. The Levine Building project also features cold form doors and internal fire screens on ground and first floors.
