Fakro FGH-V/U P2 Balcony Roof Window

Fakro FGH-V/U P2 Balcony Roof Window

The Fakro FGH-V/U P2 Balcony Roof Window is a clever way to bring more natural light, fresh air and a greater sense of space into your home. Combining the benefits of a high-quality roof window with the practicality of a balcony, this innovative design can completely transform a loft or upper-floor room. When opened, the window creates an inviting connection between your interior and the outdoors, making the room feel brighter, more open and spacious.

With its unique two-sash design, the upper sash opens upwards while the lower sash opens forwards to create an instant balcony area. This makes the Fakro FGH-V/U P2 an excellent choice for loft conversions and other living spaces where natural light, ventilation and making the most of available space are important.

Innovative Balcony Design

The Fakro FGH-V/U P2 Balcony Roof Window offers more than a traditional roof window. Its innovative design allows the two sashes to work together to create a practical balcony-style opening. The upper sash opens upwards, while the lower sash moves forwards, giving you a closer connection with the outdoors without requiring a separate permanent balcony structure.

The upper sash can be held open at any angle between 0° and 45°, giving you greater control over the amount of fresh air entering the room. A robust and carefully designed opening mechanism helps ensure smooth and convenient operation, so you can easily adjust the window to suit your needs.

Easy Operation and Convenient Cleaning

Using the Fakro FGH-V/U P2 is simple and convenient. The upper sash is operated using a handle positioned at the bottom, while a two-point locking system helps keep the window securely closed when required.

Cleaning is also made easier thanks to the upper sash rotating through 180°. Once rotated, the sash can be locked securely into position using a bolt, giving you safer and easier access to the external glazing from inside your home.

Automatic Ventilation for a Comfortable Home

The integrated V40P air inlet helps provide continuous airflow even when the window is closed. This allows fresh air to circulate through the room without needing to leave the main window open, helping maintain a more comfortable indoor environment.

This built-in ventilation feature can be particularly useful in bedrooms, loft rooms and other areas where good airflow is important for everyday comfort.

Safety Glazing and Durable Construction

Both sashes are fitted with laminated P2 safety glazing units, providing enhanced impact resistance as well as good thermal insulation. This makes the window a practical choice for residential spaces where safety, comfort and durability all need to be considered.

The window is manufactured from high-quality pine wood that is laminated in layers and vacuum impregnated. This construction helps provide lasting strength and durability while maintaining the warm, natural appearance of timber.

Enhanced Security with topSafe Technology

Security is an important part of the Fakro FGH-V/U P2 design. The window incorporates the topSafe security system, which uses reinforced construction and secure locking mechanisms to provide increased resistance against attempted break-ins.

These security features provide additional peace of mind, allowing you to enjoy the large opening and balcony functionality while maintaining a strong and secure window system.

Double and Triple Glazing Options

The Fakro FGH-V/U P2 Balcony Roof Window is available with both double and triple glazing options. This gives you the flexibility to choose a specification that suits the thermal performance requirements of your home.

Both glazing options are designed to support energy efficiency and indoor comfort, while the laminated P2 safety glazing also provides additional protection and durability for everyday use.

Natural Pine and White PU-Coated Finishes

The Fakro FGH-V/U range is available in a choice of internal finishes to suit different styles of home. The natural pine finish offers a warm and traditional timber appearance, adding character and a natural feel to your interior. The white PU-coated finish provides a cleaner, more contemporary appearance that can work particularly well with modern décor.

These finish options make it easier to coordinate your balcony roof window with your existing interior design and other roof windows within your home.

Flexible Accessories and Roof Compatibility

The Fakro FGH-V/U P2 Balcony Roof Window is compatible with a wide range of internal and external accessories, including blinds and shutters. These accessories can help you manage daylight, privacy and the overall appearance of the window according to your preferences.

The window is designed for installation on roofs with pitches between 35° and 55°, making it suitable for a range of pitched-roof applications and loft conversion projects.
