Key Advantages of Dakea Roof Windows for Builders Merchants
Product Quality
When you stock Dakea windows, you’re offering your customers the best in terms of quality and performance. Our roof windows are built to the highest manufacturing standards, undergoing rigorous testing to ensure they meet our exacting levels. From water tightness to energy efficiency, every aspect of our windows is designed to provide superior performance.
The majority of our pitched roof windows are wind-tested up to 168 km/h, and feature toughened glass that can resist the impact of a 50 kg impactor, ensuring safety and durability even in case of the most extreme weather conditions.
We understand that thermal efficiency is a key concern for homeowners, and our windows excel in this area. For example, our Ultima Energy roof window boasts U-values as low as 0.99 W/m²K, significantly reducing heat loss and the amount of noise while improving indoor comfort. This level of performance can make a real difference in home energy bills and overall home value.

Capitalising on Market Trends: The Rise of Natural Light and Ventilation
Homeowners are increasingly prioritising natural light and ventilation in their living spaces, recognising the mental and physical benefits of regular exposure to both. This trend presents a significant opportunity for builders merchants to meet this growing demand with high-quality roof windows.
Dakea’s range of roof windows is designed to maximise natural light intake while also providing excellent ventilation options. Our ange, for instance, features a high pivot design that maximises the view from the room and increases light intake. For those seeking the ultimate in convenience, we offer windows with remote control options and even rain sensors for automatic closing.
