Access roof lights for sloping roofs – comfort, safety and natural light in your attic
While an access roof light may seem like a minor element in the roof structure, it actually plays a key role, especially in buildings with unused or semi-used attics. It provides easy and safe access to the roof, the option to quickly ventilate the space beneath and an additional source of natural light.
Modern access roof lights for sloping roofs, such as those offered by FAKRO, combine functionality, durability and aesthetics. They are designed for unheated rooms – attics, garages, utility buildings – and are suitable for a variety of roof coverings. With a wide range of models to choose from – both side-opening and upward-opening – you can easily find the right product to suit your needs and roof characteristics.
Side-opening access roof lights – safety and convenience in everyday use
If you are looking for a solution that is comfortable and intuitive to use, choose side-opening access roof lights, such as FAKRO WLI or WGU-X. Their design has been created with users in mind who need quick and stable access to the roof – without having to lift a heavy hatch.
What does this mean in practice? When you go up onto the roof to clean the gutters, check the antenna or inspect the chimney, you do not have to bend down or struggle against the resistance of the mechanism – you open the sash with a single movement and you are outside. An additional advantage of the WGU-X model is a gas spring, which not only makes opening easier, but also holds the sash firmly in place, eliminating the risk of it accidentally falling.
What is more, the WLI model allows you to choose the opening side during installation, which makes it possible to adapt it to the conditions in your attic as well as to your preferences. It is a small detail, but one that significantly affects everyday use.
Natural light and fresh air – more comfort in your attic
Attics without access roof lights can be dark, stuffy and difficult to ventilate. That is why access roof lights for sloping roofs are the ideal solution, fulfilling several functions at once. They let daylight in, improving visibility and reducing the need for artificial lighting.
For example, the WLI model, equipped with a glazing unit featuring toughened glass, not only provides resistance to mechanical damage, but also excellent transparency and insulation. This allows you to freely use your attic even during the day – without turning on the lights. In addition, the sash in this model can be set in one of three positions, allowing for natural ventilation of the space under the roof.
Another available option are access roof lights with a polycarbonate dome – WSZ, WSH or WSS. Their design, similar to the models described above, not only lets in light, but also allows for ventilation, making them an ideal choice for unheated attic spaces.
Suitable for any roof and timeless aesthetics
Regardless of whether your roof is covered with corrugated tiles, trapezoidal sheet metal, bitumen shingles or roofing felt, FAKRO access roof lights come with flashings perfectly suited to any type of roof covering. Factory-installed flashings significantly simplify and speed up the installation process.
In addition to functionality, appearance is also important. That is why FAKRO roof windows are available in fashionable colours, such as deep black (RAL 9005) and dark anthracite (RAL 7016), which perfectly match modern roofs. Thanks to durable materials, such as aluminium and pinewood, these products retain their aesthetics and functionality for many years.
