Types of Roof Windows

• Solar powered windows are increasing in popularity as they are easy, time and cost effective to install. There is no need for expensive contractors due to the elimination of electrics to install. The solar-powered windows are pre-installed with a hidden motor and come with a fully programmable remote. This operates individual or groups of roof windows, blinds and roller shutters anywhere in the building. Solar roof windows just require exposure to direct sunlight.
• Roof windows fitted to a pitched roof can be centre pivoted, top hung, or side hung. They feature an automated opening if required via electric or solar power operation. Balcony and roof terrace windows are a wonderful way to transform a room such as our VELUX Twin Roof Terrace Windows.
