FAKRO Balcony Window – the ultimate, contemporary alternative to a dormer

The FAKRO FGH-V Galeria balcony window provides a contemporary alternative to a dormer, particularly on plain tile roofs, at a fraction of the cost and weight. It has two sections, an innovative balanced hinge mechanism enabling the upper sash to be positioned, without support, at any point up to 45°. The lower sash then tilts forward to reveal built-in balustrades which, when closed, are neatly hidden beneath the outer cladding. This has been designed to have no high points or areas where débris can accumulate. Upper and lower sashes are both equipped with P2 laminated safety glazing and the window also has the patented topSafe® system of hinge and lock reinforcement, a multi-point locking system on either side of the frame and an automatic vent. Unlike a dormer, planning consent is rarely required.
