SuperPav Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 Coming to the realisation that we will most likely never open the veluxes planned for upstairs (bathrooms and hall), wondering if there's any recommendations for fixed glazing alternatives (TG), which would result in a sleeker internal detail (i.e. no visible frame/sash), with plaster right up to the glazing to maximise light and reduce frame thermal transmission)? Only concern with these would be that fitting a bling solution would be near impossible whereas with Velux easily integrated... Used Velux in the past and in terms of installation/integrity/quality they've been great so happy to use them again. Roof is pitched stone (42 deg) and pitched zinc standing seam (43 deg) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnMo Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 We used roof maker, passivhaus certified fixed units. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreadnaught Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 I used Roof Maker too, but for flat fixed passivhaus units (nine of them). Happy to share my experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCG Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 I need to order around 9 fixed units. Were the roof maker ones better performing? What made you choose them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreadnaught Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 19 hours ago, DCG said: Were the roof maker ones better performing? What made you choose them? I chose them because the manufacturer was relatively local to me (Leicester, while I am in Cambridge) so I could visit the showroom and factory in person. And because of the Passivhaus certification of the particular units I purchased suggested good thermal performance. As sometimes occurs in self-building, the delivery of the units had a hiccup, but it was resolved satisfactorily by the manufacturer, and I am happy with rooflights, which are now all installed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
