If you’re thinking of roof windows for a kitchen or bathroom, options that provide greater ventilation are essential. It’s important to maintain a constant airflow and breathe easy without the burden of condensation.
But what about for the rest of your home? High quality PVC roof windows come with features and benefits which can be applied in any room, from pitched roof windows in your loft conversion to flat roof windows in your extension.
Improved air quality anywhere you need it.
Here at FAKRO we believe that when you fit a roof window, you’re adding to the design of a home, and two of the most important aspects of any home are natural light and fresh air.
It is true that bathrooms and kitchens can easily become humid, resulting in condensation. To fight against this, FAKRO introduced PVC windows that include condensation channels at the bottom and a V35 air vent in the frame. These improve air circulation, benefitting any room where condensation builds up on the windows. Such features allow you to stay in control without compromising on security.
Ventilation in detail.
The FAKRO V35 vent is positioned at the top of the window frame. When fully opened, it delivers fresh air up to 41m3/h at a pressure difference of 10Pa depending upon the window width. The V35 air inlet can discharge air when normal gravitational ventilation isn’t working, guaranteeing that a greater amount of stale and humid air is removed from the room.
Without compromise on style or usability.
Any roof window needs to suit the design of your home, and PVC windows are no exception. Traditional PVC casement windows may undeservedly have a poor reputation for quality but this is no longer the case. Similarly, discerning homeowners now demand choice in roof windows too. Therefore, reputable manufacturers have responded with options like white polyurethane-coated pine, PVC in white, golden oak or pine finishes.
But choice isn’t just about colour, you can also select a unique 2-in-1 window – the FAKRO preSelect – which allows an easy switch between top hung or centre pivot opening. This is all before we discuss bespoke options!
So, is it time to re-think PVC roof windows? They offer as much choice and customisation as traditional windows – and due to improvements in regrinding technology, can be re-extruded time and time again. This contributes to helping keep PVC out of landfill.
