Fakro Roof Windows, Rooflights & Loft Ladders
Established in 1991, FAKRO are one of the world’s leading manufacturers of roof windows, rooflights and loft ladders.
With over 100 engineers based at their unique Research and Development Centre in Poland, FAKRO are always on the lookout for new ways to help you get more from your roof windows.
Plethora of
Designs
What differentiates FAKRO as a brand is the sheer amount of roof window and rooflight design variety on offer. In total, FAKRO’s window range contains 8 different opening methods across standard
Whether you are looking to add more
natural light through a pitched roof or flat roof, FAKRO will most likely
have a window to meet your wants and needs.
Complete Loft Conversion Package
Among FAKRO’s diverse product list you will find everything you need to transform your loft space into an exciting, new living area. As well as producing pitched roof windows in pine, PU, PVC and white paint, FAKRO’s offering contains the awe-inspiring
Galeria, a roof window that can transform into a Juliet-style balcony in seconds to provide glorious views of the outdoors. An alternative means of adding extra sunlight and ventilation into your loft space is by combining a FAKRO roof window with an
L-Shape window
where the roof meets the wall.
To create an attractive passage up to your loft, FAKRO produces ready-assembled
wooden loft ladders that have been built with comfort and safety in mind.
Ultra Energy Efficiency
When it comes to energy efficiency, you will be hard-pressed to come across a roof window or rooflight brand more consistent than FAKRO.
Pitched and flat roof windows from FAKRO carry extraordinarily low
U-values that will help to keep the temperature in your home warm all year round by trapping heat inside during the colder months.
FAKRO’s quadrupled-glazed, thermo windows have been manufactured with a highly energy-conscious approach that makes them perfect for Passive House projects and guaranteeing massive savings on energy bills. FAKRO’s thermo windows also come in a
conservation style with the same 0.58 W/m²K U-value. Quadruple glazing is available across FAKRO’s entire
rooflight offering too.
Serious About Safety
FAKRO takes safety and security very seriously in the design of all its windows, fitting every product with laminated glazing and TopSafe Security
as standard. FAKRO produces Means of Escape windows for ensuring a quick and safe exit route in case of a fire, and Smoke Vent windows that come equipped with a smoke sensor that will trigger instant
opening of the window to usher smoke out of the building.
To enhance the safety of a FAKRO window further and prevent young children opening them, the FAKRO ZBB window restrictor can be purchased alongside a number of other operation & security accessories.
2 Windows in 1
To save you time debating whether to invest in a centre pivot or top hung window for your home, FAKRO has a number of roof windows that can be both. With FAKRO you can change your roof window from top hung to centre pivot
at the flick of a switch with these clever and practical models.
Top hung and centre pivot dual function roof windows provide total flexibility of use. When open, the top hung function provides an unrestricted field of view at a lower height than a centre pivot window, whilst
centre pivot operation enables the sash to be rotated through 180° to clean the outer pane from within the room, with ease.
Unique Possibilities
The list of possibilities available to anyone who owns a FAKRO window or is looking at purchasing one is a long one. If you have a manual FAKRO window and want to upgrade it to an electric window that can be opened with a single touch, the Z-Wave Conversion kit can make the transition in a cost effective way.
The flexibility of FAKRO products does not end there. Maybe you really like the look of a FAKRO pitched roof window but your roof is flat.
Well,
FAKRO’s EFR flat roof gable systems and flat roof kerbs
let you enjoy all of the fantastic benefits of FAKRO roof windows with a flat roof. An array of FAKRO blinds are available for both pitched and flat roof windows to manage incoming sunlight and add to the interior decor.
FAKRO’s blind collection includes blackout blinds for when you want to completely shut out incoming light and pleated blinds for softening glare. External awning blinds and roller shutters can be purchased for soundproofing and preventing overheating in rooms. Manual and electric options are available.
