Fakro Introduces Australia's First Self-Cleaning Skylights And Roof Windows

Attic Group

One of the world's leading brands of skylights and roof windows - Fakro- has introduced self-cleaning glass across its entire Australian range.

 

Well known for superior design features including stylish timber frames and energy efficient, clear insulating glass, Fakro skylights and roof windows now come with the superior advantage of staying cleaner for longer, all year round.

 

The specially formulated coating on the external glass reacts to ultra violet exposure and biodegrades leaf litter or other organic material that comes into contact with its surface.

 

As a result of this decomposition, rain or hose water can quickly wash away the organic matter on the glass leaving a clean, streak-free finish for clear sky views and maximum daylight exposure.

 

Fakro skylights and roof windows increase natural daylight levels within a home as well as improved ventilation and natural air circulation for better temperature management. Every skylight and window is crafted using toughened Pilkington Activ glass on the exterior pane, which provides the strength and durability to tolerate Australia's extreme weather conditions - as well as staying cleaner for longer.

 

Laminated glass on the inside works to reduce sound transmission giving category-leading comfort from noise levels associated with busy roads, aircraft noise and rowdy schoolyards. All Fakro skylights and roof windows comply with Australian Standards AS4285 and AS1288.

 

The Fakro range, distributed in Australia by Attic Group, includes fixed, manual and electric opening skylights as well as dual action roof windows for installations within reach by hand, allowing top hang or centre pivot opening options.
