Please note: The ECO+ RESET roof window is no longer available.
For a modern alternative offering exceptional daylight, thermal performance and easy installation, we recommend the Keylite QFS Fixed Skylight.

The ECO+ RESET was a popular addition to the ECO+ rooflight collection, known for it's innovative low-pitch design.

While the ECO+ RESET set a strong benchmark for versatility and performance, the Keylite QFS Fixed Skylight now offers a more advanced solution for modern projects. With up to 44% increased glazing area, integrated thermal technology and simplified installation, it’s designed to deliver even greater natural light and efficiency.

When it comes to designing a new roof window, there are several things that we as consumers want in order to get the most value for money.

These include things like:

• Making sure it’s easy to install
• Ensuring that it can save you money as a daylight solution and on energy bills
• Designing it so that it’s versatile enough to fit a vast majority of roofs

With the ECO+ RESET, all of these elements have been taken into consideration and a whole lot more, as ECO+’s latest addition offers a complete reset in thinking when it comes to versatility and practicality.

Suitable for roof pitches as low as 5° and as high as 90°, the ECO+ RESET’s versatility makes it ideal for adding daylight into a high pitch, low pitch or flat roof, which is a key feature as other brands require a special low pitch flashing to achieve this lower mounting angle. Now that the ECO+ RESET is no longer available, the Keylite QFS is suitable for roof pitches as low as 10°, providing a reliable solution for low-pitch applications.

In addition, if you purchased three of more ECO+ RESET roof windows, you could have save £47 off the price of each! This also meant that you could get savings of over £140 when you bought an ECO+ RESET Bundle. However, the Keylite QFS is available in convenient bundles of 3 or 5, making it a cost-effective option for larger installations or grouped layouts.

Here are some of the other benefits of the ECO+ RESET.

It’s easy to install multiple units

Fitting windows in groups of two, three or four can dramatically increase sunlight transmission and can turn a dark room that is over reliant on artificial lighting into a naturally bright space.

However, normally this requires a lot of work – in some cases, much more than it’s worth. What makes the ECO+ RESET special though is you can fit them together in a combination installation, vertically or horizontally, very easily.

Here’s how:

• Unlike other windows, there is no combination flashing required
• This is because the EDPM flashings that come pre-fitted to the window are all that’s needed!

This will save you time and money, while also giving you a sleek look! To see how the ECO+ RESET is installed, you can watch a video on how to do so below.

It minimises heat loss and offers peace of mind

Being triple glazed, the ECO+ RESET was always going to be thermally efficient, but what may surprise you is just how thermally efficient it is – especially when compared to others on the market.

Its thermal efficiency is measured by U-values, which basically measure how much heat a window can stop passing through it. For further information, you can read our handy guide on U-values here.

The U-value of an ECO+ RESET roof window is a staggeringly low 0.79W/m2K, which guarantees minimal heat loss through the roof and will also provide a more comfortable temperature all year round.

In addition, because it’s triple glazed, this will also help reduce outside noise, while the testing measures to ensure that leaks aren’t a problem for you are stringent to say the least, as you can see below.

The window also comes with a pre-fitted underfelt collar to help make the window instantly watertight, while the flashing is also completely waterproof.

For further peace of mind, the ECO+ RESET comes with a 20-year glazing guarantee as well as a 10-year cover on both the window and the flashing.

It’s suitable for most projects

Making sure that the ECO+ RESET could be installed in house refurbs of any type – be it loft conversions, side extensions or rear flat roof extensions – was a priority for ECO+ and they have managed that with the ECO+ RESET.

There are further benefits to this, too – the ECO+ RESET low pitch roof windows can let in up to 40% more light than other windows of the same size, which makes it a great choice for adding natural light to home improvement projects.

Coming with the window is a moisture resistant PVC interior profile, which will only need the occasional wipe down with a cloth and some water to keep the window looking as good as new long after it has been installed.

As such, if you wanted to install the ECO+ RESET into a humid environment, such as a bathroom or a kitchen, it would be a great fit and something that you look back on as a wise investment years down the line.
