Full details

This Keylite Top Hung Fire Escape Hi-Therm Roof Window is designed for homeowners and builders needing compliant emergency egress and enhanced natural light, particularly in low-pitch roof installations.

A potential consideration is its suitability primarily for low-pitch roofs, though it offers a wide pitch range. This window combines fire escape compliance, superior thermal efficiency with Hi-Therm technology, and a sleek white painted finish, making it ideal for loft conversions and upper-floor rooms.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Proper installation is crucial. The window is designed for roof pitches between 15 and 75 degrees. It requires appropriate flashing kits, specific to your roofing material (e.g., tile, slate, felt), which are typically purchased separately. Ensure the roof structure is sound and capable of supporting the window. Follow the manufacturer's detailed installation manual carefully, paying close attention to sealing and weatherproofing to prevent leaks. An integrated, expanding thermal collar is included to aid in sealing the unit to the roof.

Care: To maintain the appearance and function of your roof window, regularly clean the glass with a soft, damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners. Check the moving parts, such as hinges and locks, periodically and clean away any dust or debris. The white painted finish can be wiped clean with a damp cloth. Ensure the exterior of the window and drainage channels are clear of leaves and debris to maintain proper water run-off.
