Keylite Lacquered Pine Top Hung Roof Window

Keylite’s Top Hung Roof Windows are an excellent choice for both safety and functionality. These windows open to a 45° angle, meeting statutory regulations and providing a means of escape in case of emergencies. They are ideal for low-pitch roofs, as the outward opening maximises the entry of natural light without the sash encroaching on interior space. Additionally, they enhance ventilation and thermal performance. It is important to note that Keylite sizes 02 (550 x 980) and 03B (660 x 980) open to only 30° and therefore do not qualify as fire escape windows.

Key Features of Top Hung Roof Windows

The Top Hung Roof Window is designed to provide an unobstructed area for safe exit in emergencies (except for sizes 02 and 03B). The opening handle is conveniently located at the bottom of the window. The multi-stop feature allows users to position the window anywhere between 0° and 45°, offering maximum flexibility. These windows also include a vent flap at the top, which regulates airflow even when the window is closed. With Keylite’s Expanding Thermal Collar, Warm Edge Glazing, and streamlined fit, thermal performance is greatly improved.

Pine Clear Lacquered Finish

The standard Pine Finish for Keylite’s roof windows brings out the natural beauty of the wood. It is hard-wearing, thanks to the multiple coats of clear satin lacquer applied to the timber. This finish is ideal for complementing traditional interiors, and it comes with a 10-year guarantee. The Expanding Thermal Collar ensures a perfect fit by filling the gap between the window and roof timbers, improving insulation.

All-Weather Ventilation and Easy Installation

Keylite Top Hung Roof Windows feature trickle ventilation, allowing fresh air to circulate even when the window is securely locked. The built-in insect filter ensures only clean air enters the room, making it ideal for maintaining a healthy indoor environment. These windows are designed for quick and easy installation, taking just two minutes from box to roof.

Glazing Options

Keylite offers a range of glazing options for enhanced thermal performance and safety. Hi-Therm glazing includes a toughened outer pane, Argon gas-filled cavity, and a warm edge glazing unit, improving sound reduction and UV protection. Triple Glazing provides even lower U-values for superior insulation, while the Integral Blind option seals the blind within the glazing unit for added protection against dust and moisture. Each glazing option is tailored to suit different needs and environments.
