Fakro FGH-V P2 Balcony Roof Window

Fakro FGH-V P2 Balcony Roof Window

The Fakro FGH-V P2 Balcony Roof Window is an innovative way to bring more natural light, fresh air and outdoor space into your home. Designed with both functionality and style in mind, this unique roof window transforms an ordinary roof opening into a practical balcony area when opened. It is an excellent choice for loft conversions, bedrooms, living areas and other spaces where making the most of natural light and available space is important. The clever design features two opening sashes that work together to create an accessible balcony area. The upper sash opens upwards while the lower sash moves forwards, giving you a convenient connection between your interior and the outdoors. When closed, the window has the appearance and performance of a high-quality roof window, while opening it creates a distinctive balcony experience.

Innovative Balcony Design

The FAKRO FGH-V P2 combines a roof window with a balcony in one practical design. When the window is opened, the upper sash rises upwards and the lower sash opens forwards, creating a balcony space without the need for a permanent external structure. The upper sash can be positioned at any angle between 0° and 45°, allowing you to adjust the opening according to your requirements. A robust mechanism supports smooth and controlled operation, making it easy to enjoy fresh air and an open connection to the outside.

Easy and Secure Operation

The upper sash is operated using a conveniently positioned handle at the bottom of the sash. It features a two-point locking system, helping to keep the window securely closed when required. For cleaning and maintenance, the upper sash can rotate through 180° and lock securely into position using a bolt. This makes it easier to safely clean the external surface of the glazing from inside the property.

Automatic Ventilation and Comfortable Interiors

The FGH-V P2 features an integrated V40P air inlet designed to provide continuous ventilation even when the window is closed. This helps maintain a comfortable indoor environment by allowing a steady flow of fresh air into the room. The ventilation system works alongside the window's overall design, providing an effective solution for homeowners who want natural light and improved airflow without having to keep the main window open.

Safety Glazing and Reliable Construction

Both sashes are fitted with laminated P2 safety glazing units, providing enhanced impact resistance alongside good thermal insulation. This makes the window particularly suitable for areas where safety and everyday durability are important. The window is manufactured from high-quality pine wood that is laminated in layers and vacuum impregnated. This construction method helps provide strength, durability and long-term performance while retaining the natural character of timber.

Enhanced Security with topSafe Technology

Security is an important part of the FAKRO FGH-V P2 design. The window incorporates the topSafe security system, which uses reinforced construction and secure locking mechanisms to increase resistance against attempted break-ins. This provides additional reassurance while allowing you to enjoy the benefits of a large roof opening and balcony-style design without compromising on everyday security.

Double and Triple Glazing Options

The FAKRO FGH-V P2 Balcony Roof Window is available with both double and triple glazing options. This gives you greater flexibility when selecting the right specification for your property and the level of thermal efficiency you require. The combination of high-quality glazing and timber construction helps support indoor comfort throughout the year, while the laminated P2 glazing also contributes to the window's safety and durability.

Natural Pine and White PU-Coated Finishes

The FGH-V range is available with a choice of internal finishes to suit different interior styles. The natural pine finish provides a warm, traditional appearance that highlights the character of real timber, while the white PU-coated finish offers a clean and contemporary look. The choice of finish makes it easier to coordinate the balcony roof window with your existing décor and other windows within the property.

Flexible Accessories and Roof Compatibility

The Fakro FGH-V P2 Balcony Roof Window is compatible with a wide range of internal and external accessories, including blinds and shutters. This allows you to customise the window according to your requirements for privacy, light control and interior styling. The window is designed for installation on roofs with pitches between 35° and 55°, making it suitable for a variety of loft conversions and pitched-roof applications.

Available Sizes and Variants

The Fakro FGH-V P2 Balcony Roof Window is available in two different sizes, providing flexibility for different room layouts and installation requirements: 780x2550mm 940x2550mm Both variants have a height of 2550mm, with the choice between a 780mm or 940mm width. This allows you to select the option that best suits your available roof space and the desired size of the balcony opening.

Warranty Protection and Long-Term Peace of Mind

FAKRO provides comprehensive warranty protection with the FGH-V P2 Balcony Roof Window. The window comes with a 10-year window warranty, while the glazing unit is covered by a 20-year warranty. There is also a lifetime warranty against hail damage, subject to the manufacturer's applicable terms and conditions. This coverage provides additional reassurance when choosing a premium balcony roof window for your home.
