Access roof light FAKRO WGI

Designed for unheated spaces such as attics, garages and utility buildings, the WGI access roof light provides convenient and safe access to the roof. It also allows natural light to illuminate the interior and provides the option of regulating the fresh air flow by tilting the hatch. The hatch sash opens upwards, which is practical during use and maintenance work. The WGI model works well with a wide range of roof pitches – from 15° to 60° – making it a versatile solution for many projects. It is ideal for those seeking reliability, functionality and ease of use in a single product.

Comfort of use and ventilation function

The access roof light is convenient and safe to use, and the gas spring assists in lifting the sash and keeps it in a stable position without the risk of sudden drop. The user can freely lock the sash in one of two tilt positions, allowing the ventilation level to be adjusted to current needs. This solution is particularly suitable for rooms without other sources of ventilation. Rounded locking pins improve safety when opening and closing, eliminating the risk of accidental injury. The functionality of the access roof light goes hand in hand with ease of use and peace of mind during everyday use.

Sash

Made of a durable aluminium profile in grey‑brown RAL 7022, this model is designed with durability, safety and user comfort in mind. The sash of the WGI access roof light is equipped with a peripheral seal that improves the unit’s airtightness. Thanks to the flap‑type construction opening upwards and the integrated gas spring, lifting the sash is light and effortless, while the mechanism securely holds it in the open position.

Glass

The access roof light features a single-chamber glazing unit or insulated glass, with the outer glass toughened offering increased resistance to impact and hail. This design increases safety and improves insulation compared to single glazing. The glazing illuminates the interior, which is particularly important in dark rooms without additional light sources. The glass is durable and resistant to weather conditions, reducing the risk of damage and leaks.

Gas spring

The gas spring assists in lifting the sash and stabilises it in the open position, eliminating the risk of accidental closure. This solution improves user comfort – the sash opens easily and smoothly, without effort. When working on the roof, the user has both hands free and full freedom of movement.

Frame

The frame of the access roof light is made of solid pinewood, protected by vacuum impregnation. This process provides protection against moisture, fungi and insects, increasing the resistance of the entire structure to environmental conditions. The aesthetically pleasing interior finish also makes the access roof light look good from the attic.

Safe access to the roof

FAKRO access roof lights provide stable access to the roof, enabling maintenance work, inspections or minor repairs to be carried out. Carefully selected sash dimensions, a robust design and ergonomic handles translate into comfort and a sense of safety during use.

Suitable for unheated rooms

The design of the access roof lights is adapted to the conditions present in the attic, where the temperature is similar to that outside. This solution works well in garages, utility buildings or unused parts of the house, where there is no need for insulated windows.

Resistance to changing weather conditions

The materials used, such as toughened glass, aluminium profiles and impregnated wood, are resistant to rain, snow, frost and UV radiation. This design guarantees durability and reliable operation regardless of the season.
