FLAT ROOFS
- MEANS OF ILLUMINATION
The benefits of natural illumination of buildings are unquestionable but in those with flat roofs it is not always possible to install sufficient standard vertical windows. A source of natural light should be available in any living space to make its occupants feel comfortable. The ideal solution for providing light is the installation of specially designed products for flat roofs.
The FAKRO product range includes flat roof windows with or without domes (type C, type F and type G), flat roof system (type EF_)
and a gable system (type EFR).

Frequently Asked Questions
What types of FAKRO flat-roof window are available?
FAKRO offers dome, flat-glass and specialist flat-roof windows in fixed, manually opened and electrically opened versions. The range also includes access and smoke-ventilation products. Sizes, glazing, pitch ranges and operating options vary by model.
Can FAKRO flat-roof windows provide ventilation?
Selected manual and electric models can provide natural ventilation. Fixed units provide daylight only. Ventilation requirements should be assessed as part of the building design rather than relying on the roof window alone.
Which rooms benefit from a flat-roof window?
They are commonly used in extensions, kitchens, living areas, offices and internal spaces beneath flat or low-slope roofs where vertical glazing is limited. Position, glazing area, shading, privacy and overheating should be considered during design.
Are all FAKRO flat-roof windows suitable for walking on?
No. Only products specifically designed and certified as walk-on rooflights should be used within terraces or trafficked areas. Standard roof windows must be protected from access and impact.
What must be coordinated with the roofing system?
The kerb or upstand, roof pitch, insulation, air-and-vapour control, waterproofing connection, drainage and internal lining must be coordinated. Installation should follow the FAKRO detail and the waterproofing manufacturer’s requirements.
