Flat roofs often go unused, but Fakro flat roof windows turn them into bright, ventilated, and energy-efficient spaces. Whether you’re planning a new build or upgrading an existing roof, these windows open up living or working areas like never before.
Why Flat Roof Windows Matter?
- Abundant daylight
Natural light from above creates an open, uplifting ambience and reduces reliance on artificial lighting.
- Improved ventilation
Flexible openings let stale air escape and fresh air circulate, lowering humidity and enhancing comfort.
- Energy savings
High-performance glazing and tight seals cut heating and cooling costs year-round.
Together, these benefits make skylights for flat roofs a strategic upgrade for extensions, attic conversions, or office retrofits.
Comprehensive Features of Fakro Flat Roof Windows
Fakro’s flat roof windows have been engineered with attention to every detail, ensuring they excel in performance, safety, and aesthetics.
Exceptional thermal insulation
- DU8 triple-glazed unit
Featuring three layers of low-emissivity glass and argon gas fill, this unit achieves a U-value of just 0.64 W/m²K. That level of insulation meets stringent passive-house requirements.
- Warm edge spacer bars
Fakro uses thermally optimised spacer bars between the glass panes, reducing edge-seal heat loss and eliminating cold spots.
Maximised Daylight Transmission
- Up to 16% more glass area
Compared to many competitors, Fakro’s rooflights offer larger glass-to-frame ratios, flooding interiors with substantially more daylight.
- Low-iron glass option
For locations demanding ultra-clear views, FAKRO supplies a low-iron variant that transmits up to 91% of visible light.
Advanced Safety & Durability
- Reinforced Composite Frames
Built to withstand hail, snow loads, and high winds without warping or cracking.
- RC 2 Burglary Resistance
Select models meet the European resistance class 2 standard, protecting against assisted break-in attempts.
- Certifications
All Fakro flat roof windows carry CE marking and conform to EN 1873 and EN 14351-1 standards.
Sleek design and customisation
Performance meets design in Fakro flat roof windows: available in standard sizes from 60 × 60 cm up to 120 × 220 cm (or bespoke dimensions on request), they feature maintenance-free PVC frames in white or anthracite grey and integrated flashings that ensure a watertight seal with EPDM, PVC, or TPO roof membranes
Smart ventilation and automation
- Manual or Electric: Choose crank-handle control or one-touch motorised operation for hard-to-reach locations.
- Rain Sensor: Electric models close at the first drop, automatically protecting the interior.
- Blinds & Awnings: External sunscreens block up to 90% of solar heat gain; internal blackout blinds add privacy and darkness on demand.
Rain-Sensitive Protection
Built-in rain sensors on electric models detect the first raindrop and automatically close the window, safeguarding interiors without manual intervention.
Shading and Light Control
- External awning blinds
Block up to 90% of solar heat gain while preserving the view.
