1. Maximum Natural Light

FAKRO roof windows

 

are designed to let in the most amount of daylight possible. The profile shape of the frame and the sash, as well as the placement of the air inlet in the upper part of the frame, create more glazing area to illuminate your room.

2. Highest Timber Quality

The knot-free

 

pine wood

 

used in FAKRO windows is taken from FSC certified sources.

The double vacuum process, using waterborne preservatives and two coats of environmentally friendly lacquer, guarantees the durability and great look of the frame.

3. Roof Windows for Bathrooms & Kitchen Extensions

Rooms with high humidity need a roof window resistant to steam. FAKRO offers the choice of

 

white PVC, which will complement existing

 

uPVC windows, and top quality polyurethane.

Polyurethane (PU) frames

 

offer the best in style and performance. High quality pine frames are covered in a seamless PU finish that ensures a humidity resistant, low maintenance and stylish finish.

4. Automatic Air Ventilation

The FAKRO V40P air vent is activated by changes in atmospheric pressure, providing the optimum balance of fresh air regardless of

 

the weather outside.

5. Exceptional Home Security

All FAKRO windows have

 

topSafe® security

 

and safety installed as standard, giving peace of mind. This exceptional burglary resistant system includes additional hinge and lock reinforcement that stops the sash from being forced.

 

Compare FAKRO windows with other manufacturers' - do they have EU standard EN 13049, achieving a minimum of Class 3 as FAKRO windows do?

6. Top Thermal Performance

FAKRO windows will reduce heat loss from your living space. The design and construction of FAKRO windows is matched by the best components used, ensuring a low overall unit

 

U-value

 

- not just the glazing.

7. Warm Glazing Spacers

Many roof windows use metallic spacers to separate panes, but these can encourage condensation to form by creating a cold bridge between them. FAKRO only uses warm spacers to ensure this does not happen.

8. Ease of Installation

The easy-to-use bracket fix installation system means FAKRO windows can be fitted to rafters, battens and sarking, giving more flexibility in the fitting of your roof windows.

9. Performance Guarantees

Whichever FAKRO window you choose, you are certain of

 

excellent performance. FAKRO offers a 10-year warranty for all windows and a 20-year warranty on glazing units. It also gives you a no quibble lifetime warranty against hail damage.
