This high-performance roof window from the well-regarded manufacturer Fakro is designed for durability, safety, and energy efficiency.
Frame Materials: You can choose the internal frame material that best suits your home's style and the room's function. The options include:
- UPVC: A fully plastic frame that is highly durable, weather-resistant, and requires virtually no maintenance, perfect for hard-to-reach areas.
Glazing: The window features a Double-Glazed unit, consisting of two glass panes separated by a sealed air gap. This significantly improves thermal insulation, keeping your home warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer, while also reducing outside noise.
Glazing Feature: The internal pane is made from Laminated glass for enhanced safety. If the glass were to break, an internal plastic layer would hold the shards in place, preventing them from falling and reducing the risk of injury.
Guarantees: The product comes with two separate guarantees for your peace of mind:
- A 20-year guarantee is specifically for the glazing unit, protecting against failures like the seal breaking and moisture getting between the panes.
- A comprehensive 10-year manufacturer's warranty covers the frame and mechanical parts for the window.
Opening Method: It operates with a Centre Pivot mechanism, where the window sash rotates in the middle of the frame. This makes it easy to open, even with furniture placed below, and allows the entire sash to be flipped over for safe and easy cleaning of the outer pane from inside the room.
Roof Pitch: This window is highly versatile and can be installed on roofs with a pitch ranging from 15 to 90 degrees. This covers almost all standard roof angles and even allows for installation in vertical walls, such as in a mansard roof.
Ventilation includes an integrated Background Ventilation system (or trickle vent). This allows a small, controlled amount of fresh air to circulate into the room even when the window is securely locked, improving air quality and helping to reduce condensation.
Toughened Glass: The external pane of glass is tempered, making it significantly stronger and more resistant to impacts from weather like hail. As an additional safety feature, it would shatter into small, blunt cubes rather than dangerous sharp shards if it were to break.
U-value: 1.2 W/m²K: This value measures the window's rate of heat loss. A lower number signifies better insulation. A U-value of 1.2 indicates excellent thermal performance, meaning the window effectively prevents heat from escaping your home, which can help lower your energy bills.
