Fakro PTP-V U3 Centre Pivot Roof Window
The FAKRO PTP-V U3 Centre Pivot Roof Window is a practical and durable choice for bringing more natural light and fresh air into your home. Designed with a centre pivot opening system, the window is easy to operate and can be rotated through 180 degrees, making it particularly convenient when the external pane needs to be cleaned from inside the room.
Built from durable multi-chamber PVC profiles reinforced with steel cores, the PTP-V U3 is designed to cope with the demands of everyday use. The PVC construction does not absorb moisture and offers excellent resistance to corrosion, making this roof window particularly suitable for rooms where humidity levels can be higher, such as bathrooms and laundry rooms. The aluminium cladding also provides additional protection and a neat external finish.
Energy-Efficient Glazing and Ventilation
The PTP-V U3 features an energy-efficient U3 glazing unit designed to help improve the thermal performance of the roof window. Combined with the multi-chamber PVC profile, the glazing helps create a more comfortable indoor environment while allowing plenty of natural daylight into the room.
Fresh air can also be introduced through the integrated V35 air inlet, helping to improve ventilation without having to fully open the window. This can be particularly useful in rooms where good airflow is important, including bathrooms and utility or laundry areas.
Easy Operation and Cleaning
The centre pivot design makes the FAKRO PTP-V U3 straightforward to operate. The sash pivots through 180 degrees, allowing the outer pane of glass to be easily accessed from inside for cleaning and maintenance.
A conveniently positioned handle at the bottom of the sash makes opening and closing the window simple, while the two-step micro-opening function provides additional flexibility when you want to allow some ventilation without fully opening the sash.
Security and Additional Options
Security is an important part of the PTP-V U3's design, with FAKRO's topSafe system incorporated to provide enhanced resistance against forced entry. The window also uses ThermoPro technology to help improve its thermal performance and durability.
For projects where automated operation is preferred, the PTP-V U3 can also be used with an electric control option. This provides additional convenience and can be particularly useful for hard-to-reach roof windows or smart home applications.
Suitable for a Wide Range of Rooms
The moisture-resistant PVC construction makes the PTP-V U3 particularly well suited to rooms where humidity can be an issue. It can be used in bathrooms, laundry rooms and other areas where a combination of natural light, ventilation and resistance to moisture is required.
The window is suitable for installation in roof pitches from 15 to 90 degrees, providing flexibility for different roof designs. The range is available in multiple dimensions, allowing you to choose a size that suits your project and available roof space.
