Frequently Asked Questions
Glazing Vision understands that choosing the right rooflight or roof window for your property is an important decision. To help, we've compiled answers to some of the most frequently asked questions about our PitchVent Roof Window - If you have a question that is not listed here, feel free to contact our experienced team.
Glazing Vision does not sell “traditional” windows, we specialise in the manufacture of roof windows; Roof windows are specifically designed to be installed flush with the roof tiles at a pitch of 15-60 degrees. Unlike traditional windows, Glazing Vision roof windows provide you with uninterrupted views to the outside, increasing natural daylight flow.
A Rooflight is designed to be installed on an upstand, at a standard pitch range of 5-70 degrees, whereas a roof window is designed to be installed flush with the roof tiles at a steeper pitch range of 15-60 degrees.
No, as the FENSA certification scheme does not apply to rooflights, and does not apply if the roof window is a new addition to your property - You will require approval from Building Control if this is the case.
Glazing Vision provides a rain sensor as an optional extra which allows the rooflight to automatically close when rain is detected, allowing your home interior to be protected from the elements.
Lead times vary per product as they are carefully assembled and tested in-house, but your local Technical Sales Manager can advise you of our latest lead times.
