Fakro FTU-V U3 Electro Centre Pivot Z-Wave Roof Window
The FAKRO FTU-V U3 Electro Centre Pivot Z-Wave Roof Window combines the traditional appeal of a timber roof window with convenient electric operation and smart Z-Wave compatibility. Designed with a white, easy-to-clean polyurethane finish and double glazing, it is a practical choice for homes and buildings where moisture resistance, ventilation and remote control are important.
The window is manufactured from high-quality timber and treated to provide increased resistance to moisture. Three coats of protective polyurethane varnish, together with additional corner guards, help protect the wooden components from humidity. This makes the FTU-V U3 particularly suitable for rooms where moisture levels can be higher, including kitchens and bathrooms. Its clean white finish also makes it suitable for buildings such as hotels and hospitals where an easy-to-maintain appearance is preferred.
Energy-Efficient Double Glazing
The FTU-V U3 Electro features an energy-saving U3 glazing unit with an overall window U-value of 1.3 W/m²K and a glazing U-value of 1.1 W/m²K. The double-glazed unit uses argon-filled panes to support its thermal performance and help create a more comfortable indoor environment.
The toughened external glass provides additional durability, while the glazing also offers an acoustic insulation rating of 32dB. Together, these features make the window suitable for a wide range of residential and commercial applications.
Electric Operation and Z-Wave Control
The FTU-V U3 Electro comes factory-fitted with a three-channel control unit, 24V DC power supply and ZC 24 servo motor. These integrated components allow the window to be opened and closed remotely and also enable compatible electrically operated accessories to be controlled using the same remote control.
The window includes contacts on the frame for easier installation of compatible electrical accessories, including ARF-E and AJP-E internal accessories and the ARZ-E external roller shutter. These accessories can be integrated with the control system and operated conveniently through the same remote control.
The Z-Wave module provides compatibility with the FAKRO electric accessory system, giving you greater flexibility when creating a remotely controlled roof window setup.
Simple Mains Connection
Despite its integrated electrical components, installation is designed to remain straightforward. The FTU-V U3 Electro can be connected directly to a standard 230V domestic power supply, meaning there is no need to install a separate power supply system for the window.
The installation process is similar to that of a standard FAKRO roof window and can be used with standard FAKRO flashings. This makes it easier to incorporate the electrically operated window into a new roof or replacement project.
Automatic Ventilation and Rain Protection
The window features an automatic V40P air inlet, which can provide airflow of up to 49m³/h. This helps introduce fresh air into the room and supports a more comfortable indoor environment without requiring the main sash to remain open.
For additional convenience, the FTU-V U3 Electro is equipped with a rain sensor. When rain is detected, the sensor automatically closes the sash, helping to protect the interior from unexpected changes in weather.
Easy Manual Operation and Maintenance
Although the window is designed for convenient remote-controlled operation, it can also be disconnected from the electric actuator when manual operation is required. Turning the handle through 90 degrees disconnects the sash from the actuator.
The centre pivot design also makes cleaning easier. The sash can be rotated to provide convenient access to the external pane, helping simplify routine maintenance.
Security and Installation Flexibility
The FTU-V U3 Electro incorporates the TopSafe system, providing increased resistance to burglary. The combination of its robust construction, security features and electric control makes it a versatile option for modern roof spaces.
The window is suitable for roof pitches between 15 and 90 degrees and can be installed using standard FAKRO flashing systems. This provides flexibility for different roof designs and installation requirements.
