roof windows

Roof windows can transform attics, loft areas, above-garage rooms and other spaces with lack of day-lighting into agreeable living areas with plenty of daylight, ventilation and views.

Location

Top hinged roof windows are often designed to be installed within reach, in order to be open manually, and to provide maximum ventilation.

Balcony roof windows

Besides top hinged roof windows, there are also balcony roof windows. The difference is that balcony roof windows open out to create a small roof balcony, with integral railings.

Such as standard top hinged roof windows, balcony roof windows may transform unused attics, lofts and above-garage rooms into agreeable living spaces.

Logically, this product demands an adequate roof pitch.

Technology, warranties, prices, drawbacks, installation

Roof windows use the same technology of ordinary rectangular skylights, are manufactured by the same corporations, involve the same basic installation issues, and also similar warranties and… drawbacks. However, since roof windows are larger structures than ordinary skylights, they involve proportionally higher prices and risks of condensation and leakage.
