FAKRO ThermoPro Technology

With ThermoPro technology, FAKRO has equipped its roof window classes. This new solution guarantees improved quality and performance of roof windows, resulting in increased energy efficiency and durability, excellent tightness, and easier installation.

1. Better thermal insulation of windows:
   The use of windows equipped with Thermo technology allows the buyer to lower heating costs, as built-in insulation inserts in the sashes, as well as a new low-emission coating on the glass, increase the energy efficiency of the entire window.
2. Increased durability of the wood:
   The bottom corners are equipped with special drainage channels to divert water from condensation or potential leaks, e.g., due to damage or dirt on the seals. This way, the wooden profiles of the roof window are less exposed to moisture, which contributes to their durability.
3. Better tightness of roof windows:
   Windows manufactured with Thermo technology are in the 3rd and 4th tightness class according to EN12207. This reduces the amount of uncontrolled air entering the room. This is of particular importance for mechanical ventilation.
4. Easy installation:
   New brackets increase the possibility of adjusting the roof windows and make installation faster. In addition, the use of Torx screws facilitates the installation of windows in the roof surface.

Flashing

What is a flashing and why do I need one?

The flashing is an indispensable element for the proper installation of a roof window in the roof surface. It directs rainwater and meltwater around the window and also protects it from wind. Only with the help of a flashing can an absolutely tight connection between the roof window and the roof be guaranteed.

Why is the flashing with additional insulation better than a standard flashing?

The flashings improve the thermal insulation of the roof window and significantly improve the effective thermal insulation, depending on the type of roof window, calculated up to 15%.

The thermo flashings with internal, fixed elastic insulation strips guarantee the best connection between the roof window and the roof structure, providing complete protection for the installed roof window. These elements allow for safe and trouble-free use of the roof windows for years. Additionally, they reduce thermal bridges and ensure proper water drainage around the window.

The flashings with additional insulation (the thermo flashings) are available in more variants than the standard flashing for OptiLight roof windows. Thanks to this, they adapt perfectly to your roofing material and not only improve the insulation properties but also ensure the most aesthetically pleasing connection between the window and the roof.
