Fakro FTP-V U3 Electro Centre Pivot Roof Window
The FAKRO FTP-V U3 Electro is a centre pivot roof window designed to make everyday operation more convenient with integrated electric control. Supplied with a control unit, motor and transformer, the window can be opened and closed remotely, making it particularly useful where easy access or automated operation is important.
The electric system allows the window to be operated using a remote control, while the built-in rain sensor adds an extra layer of convenience. When rain is detected, the sensor automatically activates the sash closing function to help protect the room from changing weather conditions.
Convenient Electric Operation
With its factory-fitted electrical components, the FTP-V U3 Electro is ready to be connected to a 230V mains supply. Electrical connectors are provided on the window frame, making it easier to connect compatible electrical accessories and integrate the window into an automated setup.
The motor provides smooth opening and closing, while a 90-degree turn of the handle disconnects the sash from the motor. This gives you the flexibility to operate the window manually when required.
Automatic Ventilation
The FTP-V U3 Electro features an automatic V40P air inlet designed to provide an appropriate amount of fresh air to the room. This helps support continuous ventilation and contributes to a healthier and more comfortable microclimate in an attic or converted loft space.
The automatic air inlet is particularly useful when maintaining airflow is important without having to repeatedly open the main window sash.
Easy Cleaning and Blind Installation
Cleaning the external pane is made easier by the centre pivot design. The sash can be rotated through 180 degrees and secured in position using the built-in bolt, allowing the outside pane to be accessed safely from inside the room.
The same sash-locking function also makes fitting an external awning blind more convenient. Once the sash has been rotated and secured, you have easier access for carrying out installation work.
