A bottom-positioned handle with two micro-opening positions makes operating the window straightforward. The centre pivot function also supports easier cleaning of the external pane, helping you maintain the window with less effort.
Natural Pine Frame and White Polyurethane Finish
The Fakro FPU-V features a natural pine wood frame finished with three layers of white polyurethane varnish. This creates a clean, modern appearance while helping protect the interior surface. The white finish blends easily with a variety of interior styles, making it a suitable choice for both contemporary and traditional spaces.
The external aluminium frame has a colour reference of RAL7022, providing a subtle and attractive exterior finish. The combination of wood and aluminium supports the window's durability and long-term performance.
Anti-Burglary Glazing and Acoustic Performance
The roof window features P2 double-glazed anti-burglary glazing, designed to provide additional safety and protection. Its glazing construction is specified as 4H-Tg15Ar-33.2mm, with an overall thickness of 26mm and a 33.2 laminate class P2A specification.
The external pane is tempered, while the warm TGI spacer is filled with inert argon gas. These components contribute to the window's glazing performance and durability. The stated acoustic rating is 35 dB (-1.-3), making it a suitable option for projects where reducing external noise is an important consideration.
Ventilation and Enhanced Security
The semi-automatic V40P pressure ventilation system helps prevent wind gusting and supports a comfortable indoor environment. It allows fresh air to circulate while offering practical ventilation control.
For added security, the window is equipped with the topSafe system, which includes a reinforced hinge and keep, along with a steel slat positioned in the lower part of the sash. This construction achieves at least Class III safety in accordance with EN13049, as stated in the supplied specifications.
