Fakro FTU-V L3 Laminated Glass Electro Centre Pivot Roof Window
The FAKRO FTU-V L3 Laminated Glass Electro Centre Pivot Roof Window combines the convenience of remote-controlled electric operation with enhanced glazing designed for comfort and everyday practicality. Featuring double glazing with a laminated inner pane and a self-cleaning glass option, this electric roof window is a useful choice for loft rooms and other spaces where the window may be positioned too high to reach easily.
The centre pivot design provides straightforward operation and maintenance, while the integrated electric mechanism allows the sash to be opened and closed remotely. This makes the FTU-V L3 particularly convenient for roof windows installed in hard-to-reach positions.
Remote-Controlled Electric Operation
The FTU-V L3 Electro is factory-equipped with a three-channel control unit, 24V DC power supply and ZC 24 servo motor. The integrated system allows the main window and compatible electrical accessories to be controlled using a single remote control.
The servo motor extends up to 24cm, providing the movement needed to open and close the sash remotely. The complete control mechanism, including the control unit and servo motor, is neatly housed beneath an attractive aluminium cover positioned at the lower section of the frame.
Automatic Rain Protection
A built-in ZRD rain sensor provides additional peace of mind when the weather changes. When rain is detected, the sensor automatically closes the window, helping prevent rain from entering the room when the window has been left open.
This feature is particularly useful for loft rooms and other areas where the roof window may be difficult to reach quickly. It allows you to benefit from ventilation while having automatic protection against unexpected rainfall.
Laminated and Self-Cleaning Glazing
The FTU-V L3 features double glazing with a laminated inner pane, providing an added layer of glazing protection. The supplied specification also includes self-cleaning glass, helping reduce the amount of routine cleaning required on the external pane.
The glazing has a U-value of 1.3 W/m²K, providing a balance of natural daylight and thermal performance for a range of residential and loft applications.
Easy Manual Access and Maintenance
Although the window is designed for convenient remote-controlled operation, it can still be manually accessed when required. In the event of a power failure, or when the external pane needs cleaning, the motor can be disconnected by turning the handle through 90 degrees.
Once disconnected, the centre pivot design allows easier access to the external pane. This makes routine cleaning and maintenance more straightforward, even when the window is installed in a difficult-to-reach position.
Simple Electrical Installation
The FTU-V L3 Electro can be installed in a similar way to a standard FAKRO roof window and is compatible with standard flashing systems. Its electrical supply is designed to connect to a standard 230V domestic power network, so additional wiring infrastructure is not required specifically for the window.
The frame also includes contacts for connecting compatible electrically operated accessories. Internal accessories such as ARF-E and AJP-E, along with the ARZ-E external roller shutter, can be connected to the control system and operated using the same remote control.
Suitable for a Wide Range of Roof Pitches
The roof window is suitable for installation on roofs with pitches between 15 and 90 degrees, providing flexibility for different roof designs. Its electric operation makes it particularly useful for loft rooms where the window is positioned high up or beyond comfortable manual reach.
With a choice of 13 sizes, the FTU-V L3 range can accommodate a variety of roof openings and room layouts, from smaller 550 x 780mm installations through to larger 1140 x 1400mm options.
