smartPUC by Smartroof Wins Prestigious Housebuilder Product Award for Second Consecutive Year
Smartroof’s innovative product, smartPUC, has once again made waves in the housebuilding industry by securing the Best Building Fabric Product Award at the 2025 Housebuilder Product Awards. This marks smartPUC’s second consecutive win, following its recognition as Best Brand New Product in 2024.
After its launch last year, smartPUC quickly gained traction across the industry. With rising pressure to meet future regulations, particularly the Future Homes Standard (FHS) — the industry was eager for a product that could address both energy efficiency and space optimisation and smartPUC bridged this gap.
The Innovation
As energy systems evolve, housebuilders face mounting challenges in integrating bulkier technology such as hot water cylinders, PV inverters, storage batteries and heat pump units into homes. Traditionally, these components compete for space within living areas. smartPUC revolutionises this approach by utilising the otherwise unused loft space to house these systems, aiding in freeing up valuable floor space for homeowners.
This innovative configuration not only addresses the technical constraints of modern housebuilding, but also aligns with the sustainability and a step towards net zero goals. The judging panel at the Housebuilder Product Awards recognised this forward-thinking design, awarding smartPUC the Best Building Fabric Product of 2025.
Success in Practice
smartPUC’s success is already proving its value in practice. The system is currently being implemented at multiple live sites across the UK, with leading housebuilders such as Taylor Wimpey and Dandara adopting the technology. The positive response from these leading housebuilders validates the system’s performance and highlights a growing industry shift towards smarter and more sustainable building approach.
This year’s win reinforces smartPUC’s status as an industry leading product in modern roofing solutions. By enabling homes to meet upcoming regulatory standards while improving both energy performance and internal layout, Smartroof has once again demonstrated its commitment to driving innovation in the sector.
With growing interest and real-world success stories backing it, smartPUC is well on its way to becoming an industry standard. As the Future Homes Standard draws nearer, solutions like smartPUC are set to play a vital role in shaping the next generation of UK housing.
