KEY TAKE OUTS
Due to their location on a pitched roof rather than an elevation/wall, roof windows can transmit light and heat for longer in a day than vertical windows.
Roof windows with two layers of low-emission coating that reflect both ultraviolet and infrared light, offering more than 80% UV protection combined with heat reflection.
The ideal UV glazing option depends on three factors – climate, application and budget!
Low-emissivity coatings reflect heat radiation back outwards in summer, reducing solar heat gain and minimising reliance on air conditioning.

KEY TAKE OUTS
Roof windows let in more natural light compared to dormer windows, leading to less reliance on electricity and lower energy bills.
Roof windows with better U-values such as triple-pane windows are around 15% more energy efficient than double-pane roof windows.
Proper installation is as important as the manufacture of a roof window.
Dakea’s sustainability strategy focuses on reducing, and then totally eliminating, its operational carbon emissions within the next eight years.
