Thermal Insulation – lower utility bills
- One of the most important thing during the design process of skylights is energy saving. Use of Energy Star compliant glass, allows to keep the heat outside during the summertime and inside during the wintertime. It allows to save on energy used for airconditioning in summer, and heating during the winter
- Many windows use metallic spacers to separate panes and these can encourage condensation to form by forming a cold ‘bridge’ between them. By contrast, FAKRO uses warm spacers in order to ensure that this otherwise common problem does not affect our products
- Thick, wooden skylight frame is the best insulator between the inside of the building the outside. Installation screws hidden inside the frame, do not increase the phenomenon of thermal bridges, that might be caused by metal flanges attached around the frame
- Perimeter gasket underneath the frame, insulates additionally the joint between the skylights frame and the roof decking. Another feature increasing the insulation properties of FAKRO skylights
- Additional double gasket system, seals the gap between the sash and the frame of the skylight. The gap must be very well protected, against any undesired air flow
- Even higher insulation achieved by the use of FAKRO Thermo flashing
