CalvinHobbes Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 Hello, so going with three velux windows and budget getting tight so how does this sound? Home is new build and passive with a ventilation system because it's passive. Window 1 on a stairwell that won't be used much so triple glazed. Centrally hung and would like to use a pole to clean it twice a. year lol but how long can a pole extend or should we just make it electric ? Window 2 in a bathroom, again triple glazed, centrally hung and electric. Window 3 dressing room, again centrally hung but what about not electric? The windows need to be mk04 980 x 780 according to architect spec. Any thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike2016 Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 Electric for the one you can't reach above stairs but the battery will need replacing in a few years if solar fed, or is it mains powered? Extra sparks bill too. I would go manual for other two if a ladder can reach for cleaning. With mvhr won't need to open except for that. Stairwell one useful for purging excess heat in summer evenings.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PNAmble Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 We’ve got one of the solar triple glazed roof lights - with curved glass - on a flat roof above stairwell. Seems to work well and has a built in rain sensor.. Not completed the build yet but using it alot to get rid of moisture. (We are passive standard). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
