The Loft Access Company can supply and install a wide variety of different stylish roof windows and skylights. Whether your home is modern, traditional or a listed building, roof windows can be installed into most sloping roofs to create bright and airy living spaces.
There are a number of different brands that specialise in roof windows, and here at The Loft Access Company, we are proud to provide alternatives from all.
Roof windows are dependent on degree of your roof pitch, but can generally be installed into any sloping roof. It's also important to remember how easy to reach they will be once installed, and what their purpose will be - for example, additional light to a utility area or as part of converted loft space meant for the master bedroom?
Combinations of vertical or fixed roof windows can also be installed to create brilliant living spaces.
The Loft Access Company are Certified Installers of all VELUX products, the number one leading international roof window suppliers with the most state-of-the-art designs.
What is a Roof Window?
Centre Pivot Roof Windows
The centre pivot roof window by VELUX is most versatile of all roof windows as it can be installed into any sloping roof with a pitch between 15° and 90°.
Operatable by a single handle located at the highest point of the window top, an initial short pull downward opens the ventilation flap, a further gentle pull opens the window fully.
Available in three finishes; White Painted, White Polyurethane and Pine.
Top Hung Roof Windows
Commonly used in low pitch roofs, top hung roof windows by VELUX are excellent for creating wide and unobstructed views. This window opens outward, facilitated by rotating the handle at the bottom of unit.
A gentle push upward opens the window fully to 45°, an operation made easy by the powerful pneumatic struts. Due to the unrestricted opening area, the larger frame sizes are also suitable for fire escape purposes. Although hinged at the top, the Top Hung Roof Window retains its ventilation flap and centre-pivoting hinge for cleaning purposes.
Remote-Operated Roof Windows
For awkward to reach places and high ceiling, roof windows operate by remote are an easy solution to a tricky stretch.
Powered either via electricity or solar energy, you will have full control of your VELUX roof window with fully integrated motor system that is operated by a portable control pad.
With an easy-to-use touch screen and swipe function, this intuitive control pad is programmed with a number of different pre-defined ventilation settings so you'll be able to automatically create the perfect atmosphere whatever the humidity.
Sun Tunnels
Sun tunnels are a brilliant way bring natural light into spaces where neither traditional nor roof windows can reach.
Internal, window-less rooms such as bathrooms are where sun tunnels make a difference most. Stretching from exterior roof, the tunnel reaches through the property (normally through the loft space) to bring light into room.
There are various diameters available, and the VELUX sun tunnels can be installed into both flat roofs and pitched roofs..
Conservation Roof Windows
The Conservation Window unit is designed to accommodate the renovation of traditional buildings, when planning dictates that a window of traditional external appearance is required. With a black external profile, the standard pine frame has a lower fixing position in the roof to achiever a more streamlined effect.
Supplied with a central glazing strip, the Conservation Roof Window is available in both with a centre pivot and top hung operation bar, with a ventilation flap and centre-pivoting hinge for cleaning purposes. The window therefore operates in the same manner as its equivalents, with a handle at the top to open and close the window.
