Dakea roof window accessories offer long-term value through durability, product compatibility and usability.
Comfort accessories: Optimising interior environments
Dakea’s comfort accessories are designed to improve everyday living by offering practical solutions to control light, airflow and temperature.
Blackout blinds
Blackout blinds are an ideal solution for bedrooms, nurseries or any other space where full light exclusion is necessary. Dakea’s blackout blinds are made with high quality materials and are available in multiple colour options. They fit seamlessly into Dakea roof windows and are quick to install, providing an immediate improvement in comfort.
Key benefit: Block 100% of external light for improved sleep and privacy.
Anti-heat blinds
Solar gain can make loft or attic spaces uncomfortable during summer months. Dakea’s anti-heat blinds reflect sunlight before it enters the room, maintaining a cooler interior temperature and helping to reduce heat loss in winter. This contributes to better energy efficiency year-round.
Key benefit: Limits heat buildup while preserving natural light.
Insect screens
For properties that benefit from fresh air ventilation, insect screens allow windows to remain open without letting pests inside. Made from fine, tear-resistant mesh, these screens are suitable for both new builds and retrofit projects.
Key benefit: Encourages healthy airflow while keeping insects out.
All Dakea comfort accessories are built to last, backed by a solid guarantee, and designed to integrate flawlessly with Dakea roof windows.
Insect screens allow windows to remain open without letting pests inside.
Installation accessories: For reliable and efficient fitting
Correct installation is the foundation of roof window performance. Dakea offers a full range of installation accessories that ensure secure fitting and energy-saving insulation from day one.
Flashing kits
Flashing is critical for waterproofing. Dakea’s flashing kits are available for all major roofing materials, including tile, slate and universal applications. They are manufactured to meet the highest quality standards and tested for long-term exposure to UK weather conditions.
Key benefit: Provides a watertight seal between window and roofing material.
Vapour barriers and underfelt collars
To prevent moisture penetration into roofing materials and internal structures, Dakea recommends vapour barrier foils and insulation collars. These are particularly important in areas of high humidity or when building to modern airtightness standards.
Key benefit: Improves thermal performance and prevents leakage.
Fixing brackets and support battens
For accurate positioning and structural support, Dakea provides adjustable brackets and installation battens. These ensure the roof window sits flush with the roof pitch, improving both aesthetics and function.
Key benefit: Guarantees proper alignment during window installation.
Each component in this range is developed to work with the Dakea production process, ensuring fast, hassle-free installation for professionals.
Smart accessories: Automation for modern living
Dakea also supplies electronic accessories that make roof window operation easier and more efficient – ideal for hard-to-reach areas or smart home applications.
Electric openers
Electric openers provide remote access to Dakea roof windows. They are especially useful in loft conversions or spaces with high ceilings where manual operation would be impractical. The system is smooth, responsive and compatible with multiple Dakea window models.
Key benefit: Operate windows at the press of a button.
Rain sensors
Paired with electric openers, Dakea’s rain sensors automatically close windows when rainfall is detected. This protects interiors from water ingress and is particularly useful in unpredictable UK weather.
Key benefit: Automatic closing provides added peace of mind.
