FAQs

What is the main benefit of the Hi-Therm technology?

The Hi-Therm technology significantly improves the window's thermal performance, indicated by a centre pane U-Value of 1.1 W/m2.K. This reduces heat loss, lowers energy bills, and enhances the comfort of your living space.

Does the top-hung opening obstruct the internal space?

The window opens outwards, meaning the sash moves away from the internal space. This design maximizes the usable area within the room and ensures the opening is clear for emergency egress without internal obstruction.

What is the minimum and maximum roof pitch for this window?

This window is suitable for roof pitches ranging from a minimum of 15 degrees up to a maximum of 90 degrees.

How is fire escape compliance achieved?

The window is specifically engineered to provide compliant emergency egress. Its outward opening mechanism creates a clear escape route that meets regulatory requirements for fire safety.

What are the dimensions of this specific window?

The dimensions of this particular Keylite Roof Window are 1140mm in width and 1180mm in height (W 1140 x H 1180mm).

What is included as standard with the window?

The window comes with an integrated, expanding thermal collar as standard, which helps to improve airtightness and thermal insulation.

How long is the guarantee for this roof window?

The Keylite Roof Window is guaranteed for 10 years, providing long-term assurance of its quality and durability.

Troubleshooting

Window is difficult to open or close.

Check for any obstructions in the opening mechanism. Ensure the locking system is fully disengaged. If the issue persists, contact a professional installer as the mechanism may require adjustment.

Drafts or leaks around the window.

Verify that the window is properly sealed and that the integrated thermal collar is correctly installed and expanded. Check the integrity of the external flashing and surrounding roof materials. Professional inspection may be required.

Condensation on the glass.

Some condensation is normal depending on internal humidity levels and external temperature. Ensure adequate ventilation within the room. If condensation appears between panes, it may indicate a seal failure and requires professional attention.
