The highlights, the milestones – and what comes next.

2025 was a landmark year for Kytun.

Across Ireland and the UK, demand grew for high-performance aluminium roofline systems, tested solutions and reliable support that installers, architects and merchants can trust.

From major product milestones and breakthrough partnerships to award wins and community support, this year showed exactly what sets Kytun apart: performance, precision manufacturing, technical expertise and people-first service. As we share our 2025 highlight reel, here’s a deeper look at the moments that shaped the year – and the innovations that will define 2026.

1. A Strong Start: Self-Build Projects Choose Kytun

Early 2025 saw a surge in self-build roofline demand.
From the Munster Self-Build Show to a complete calendar of events throughout the year, we travelled the country to meet homeowners and architects and showcase our extensive range including:

  • Kytun AluSwift Standing Seam
  • Powder-coated aluminium fascia and soffit
  • Durable weatherproof systems engineered for Irish and UK conditions

Self-builders told us they wanted clean lines, low maintenance, long-term durability, and materials that perform in coastal and high-wind environments.

Kytun delivered – and the results are already being built into projects nationwide. Explore our roofline and standing seam solutions:

2. Raising Standards: Tackling Untested Roofing Imports

One of the biggest topics this year was the rise of untested, imported pitched roofing products entering the market.

Kytun took a firm stand.

With over 35 years of Irish manufacturing excellence, we reinforced the importance of:

  • Independently tested roofline products
  • BRE-certified performance
  • Wind uplift resistance
  • Durability in harsh coastal and high-rainfall climates

Quality, compliance and performance are non-negotiable – and the industry responded. Read the full feature in Roofing Today:

3. The Installer Series: 50+ Videos and Growing

One of our most surprising successes of 2025 was the launch of the Kytun Installer Series – short, practical videos designed to support installers with real-world guidance.

Hosted by Pauric Hilferty and Matt McAndry, the series covered:

  • Dry verge installation
  • Ventilation best practice
  • Fixings
  • Standing seam detail
  • Weatherproofing
  • Common installer questions

Today, the series has passed 50+ videos with thousands of views and has engaged an active community. Watch the Installer Series here:
