Escape windows for pitched roofs – comfort, safety and insulation all in one
Escape windows for pitched roofs combine a practical roof access with a classic roof window. This single product provides safe access to the roof when needed, as well as additional light and ventilation for the attic. This is particularly useful in everyday situations, such as checking the condition of the chimney, cleaning the gutters or installing an antenna. The wide-opening sash makes it easy to exit, and gas springs keep it in a stable position, giving you a sense of security. An additional protective strip protects the frame from damage that may occur with frequent use.
Protection against heat loss and noise
Modern glazing units used in roof escape windows help maintain comfortable indoor conditions. With a heat transfer coefficient of approximately 1.0 W/m²K, the attic does not lose heat in winter and does not overheat in summer. Triple-glazed units with argon-filled cavities effectively reduce energy bills and improve comfort. It is also worth mentioning the good sound insulation – Rw values in the range of 35-40 dB mean that street noise or heavy rain become less bothersome. Laminated glass increases safety, as the glass does not shatter into sharp pieces if broken.
Different design variants
Roof escape windows are available in two main versions – wooden and PVC. Wooden models are ideal for living rooms where a natural look and cosy interior atmosphere are important. Made of impregnated pinewood and coated with acrylic varnish, they retain their elegant appearance for many years. PVC windows, on the other hand, are moisture-resistant and maintenance-free, which is why they are often chosen for bathrooms, laundry rooms or attic kitchens. PVC profiles are smooth, easy to clean and retain their aesthetic appearance regardless of the conditions.
Safe and durable design
Safety was a key focus when designing roof escape windows. Reinforced elements, toughened external glass and the topSafe system increase the window's resistance to mechanical damage and attempted break-ins. Gas springs protect against accidental slamming of the sash, providing comfort when using the roof exit. The external cladding, available in several fashionable colours (including anthracite, black and grey-brown), not only looks elegant, but also protects the structure well against weather conditions. Details designed in this way make roof escape windows a safe and reliable solution.
Easy installation and universal use
The installation of roof escape windows is straightforward as they use the same flashings as traditional roof windows. They can be easily combined into sets, creating consistent and aesthetic combinations on the roof surface. A wide range of installation angles, from 15 to 55°, allows them to be used in most roof structures. Furthermore, users can choose the sash opening direction, making it easier to match the window to the interior design. This makes roof escape windows a practical solution that works well in single-family homes, multi-family buildings and investment facilities.
