What makes a FAKRO roof window better and stand out?

The highest level of energy saving performance

What really sets FAKRO windows apart from the comeptition is their low level of heat loss. Unlike some manufacturers who provide U-values just for glazing units, FAKRO provides information for the complete window. When comparing our performance with other products you will see how our non-vented, quadruple glazed FTT U8 Thermo, with a U-value of 0.58 W/m²K, leads the market. Our standard FTP-V centre pivot windows also offer a level of performance which competing windows invariably fail to deliver.
 

Ample natural light

FAKRO roof windows design provides appropriate levels of illumination of the room within the loft space. Specially shaped profiles of the frame and sash as well as an air inlet location in the upper part of the frame contributes to the influx of high quantities of natural light.

Exceptional security

FAKRO’s TopSafe® system provides peace of mind that our roof windows offer exceptional resistance to burglary. Compared to products which break simply by applying foot pressure, TopSafe provides extra lock and hinge reinforcement to stop the sash from being forced open. A European Standard (EN13049) now means you can compare roof window security and all FAKRO products achieve a minimum of Class 3. FAKRO also manufactures a standard centre pivot window, the FTP-V P2 Secure, which has security glazing.

Automatic air ventilation in all windows
Many manufacturers use a standard manually operated vent which is inefficient , causing unnecessary heat loss. The FAKRO V40P automatic vent which is installed in FAKRO pine roof windows is activated by changes in atmospheric pressure. It provides the optimum balance of fresh air regardless of weather conditions.

Timber quality
The pine we use offers the clearest visual evidence of our roof window quality and ot only does its close grain appear stylish, we obtain timber from FSC certified sources. Our double vacuum process using water-borne preservatives provides lasting dimensional stability and all windows are finished with two coats of environmentally friendly lacquer. Compare this with another leading manufacturer which states - “The timber has received basic treatment and a finished coating at the factory. It must receive further treatment at least every four years and whenever required. Windows exposed to strong heat, strong sunlight and/or high levels of humidity (e.g. in kitchens or bathrooms) must however receive treatment at least every two years”. We therefore actively encourage customers to compare our window finishing with that of other manufacturers.
 

Windows for bathrooms, wetrooms and kitchens
For rooms in which high levels of humidity are created FAKRO offers two types of roof window . You have the choice of either white polyurethane-coated pine or PVC in white, golden oak and pine finishes. So FAKRO has the perfect solution, whether you want to match existing windows and doors or have a smooth timber finish in white. Also FAKRO PVC veneers also achieve the highest level of measurable performance - Class A - EN12608.

Warm glazing spacers
Many roof windows use metallic spacers to separate panes and these can encourage condensation to form by forming a cold ‘bridge’ between them. By contrast, FAKRO uses only warm spacers in order to ensure that this otherwise common problem does not affect our products. 
 

Ease of installation
Our easy to use “bracket fix” installation system enables windows to be fitted either to rafters or battens. Windows can also be fitted onto sarking.
 

Performance Guarantees
Whether buying natural pine, PU-coated pine or PVC FAKRO offers a 10-year warranty for all windows and a 20 year warranty on glazing units. We also offer a no quibble lifetime warranty against damage by hail stones.

We are sure of the QUALITY that’s why we offer a long-term warranty.
