SKYLUX VITRIA Flat roof window

General product description

The new Vitria glass flat roof window is made up of clear double glazing and features an optimised glass composition. The Vitria consists of a sleek white PVC frame with excellent insulation characteristics and sealing closures that attach to the curb below. These ensure good air and water tightness. The Vitria flat roof window features a ‘flush-design’ / ‘flat drainage surface’, where the glass panel seamlessly transitions and extends slightly above the PVC frame. This allows for efficient and smooth drainage of rainwater. The Vitria is suitable for flat roofs and can be installed at an inclination between a minimum of 4° to 25°. To prevent contamination of the outside of the glass, we recommend an inclination of 5°. The manually openable version also allows for fresh air ventilation: The manual spindle with eye is a copper spindle that reaches an opening of 300 mm when fully extended. It makes the flat Vitria window suited for manual opening for fresh air ventilation. For smaller sizes, the spindle with eye is a single spindle. For larger sizes, it is a double spindle. The double spindle is always equipped with a link rod. The spindle is pre-mounted and is delivered with matching hinges, top and bottom supports. The system opens and closes manually by means of a optional winding rod.

Variants available:

There is also an openable version of the Vitria flat roof window with an electric chain actuator for ventilation.
Standard installation of the fixed Vitria flat roof window on PVC curbs or PVC adapter frame; including set of spring steel clips

Note: Depending on the dimensions and corresponding weight of the glass flat roof window, we recommend using hoisting and/or lifting equipment, both during transport and installation.

Maintenance : It is essential to regularly clean the exterior of the flat glass panel to prevent the build-up of dirt and standing water. After all, even when installed at a minimum inclination of 4°, flat glass always bends slightly (up to 5 mm at 20°C).

To prevent heat buildup beneath the transparent window (whether plastic, hybrid or glass) and thus potential deformation or damage to the PVC curb, frame, skylight or electrical parts, we advise against the installation of a sealed surface (e.g. closed black loft hatch) beneath the roof windows. We recommend using a reflecting (e.g. white) surface and/or ventilation.
