new products available at Fakro

 

As an innovative company, FAKRO invests substantial time and effort into developing new products – and those new products are designed not solely by our engineers, but also in great part from collaborating with our customers. The needs, expectations, and requirements communicated to us from our customers help guide us as we create new solutions, discover and employ new materials, and finally design and manufacture new products. Customers tell us what they need and what we should supply. It’s a very straightforward process – we simply listen to them carefully, work hard to innovate with their needs in mind, and then work hard again to manufacture products to meet those needs. We would like to express our gratitude to our customers for their questions – for those inquiries allow us to better understand market needs and respond quickly and appropriately. Please take a minute and see what new products FAKRO launched this year.

FTH-V high pivot window

The FTH-V window is a completely new product on the global market. Its construction is similar to centre pivot windows but here the axis of rotation is situated above the centre of the window height. Raising the pivot point and a patented hinge support system make it possible to treat the lower part of the sash as a top hung window. Thanks to it, one can easily come up to the edge of the open window. The upper part of the sash is an additional source of daylight. The height of the window, which can be up to 79", eliminates the need for vertical combinations and goes well with FAKRO solar panels.In this design a greater glazed area of the window has been achieved by increasing its length but not width. The narrower window fits standard rafter spacings obviating the need for labour-consuming trimmers. It is the only window on the market, which satisfies the requirements of DIN 5034-1*, when installed in the roofs with pitches 39˚- 43˚, which says that the lower window edge should be situated at the height of up to 37 3/4" and the upper window edge should be at the height of min. 86 3/4".The window is manufactured in the topSafe system. It is equipped with an automatic air inlet V40P. Available also in PVC version.

Balcony window

The two-sash window, in which the upper sash is opened seamlessly over a 45-degree range in a top hung way and the lower sash slides out with side barriers. Opened sashes create a balcony in the loft. The large size of the balcony window ensures great illumination of the interior. The window is equipped with an automatic air inlet V40P, ensuring the optimal amount of fresh air in the room. Large opening angle of the upper sash and sliding out lower sash enables free access to the balcony edge. When the window is closed the barriers hide in the frame and do not protrude from the roof surface. They are concealed under window cladding elements, therefore they do not collect any dirt and do not spoil the appearance of the roof.

Smoke ventilation window

A new innovative structure where smoke exhaust flap and centre-pivot window have been combined to ensure maximum effectiveness of smoke and heat extraction during fire. The upper pivoting sash can be also used for every day ventilation and the lower one opens only in case of fire. The internal movable deflectors guarantee maximum value of the effective ventilation area. They are pulled out during flap opening creating a curtain shielding the opening from lateral wind. When the window is closed, deflectors hide in special cassettes on the frame and do not spoil the roof appearance.

Suitable for roof pitches between 20°-60°
