Are you planning to install one or more roof windows to your home and unsure which type to go for?
Before you can start customizing a roof window that fits your home and needs perfectly, you will choose either a centre-pivot or top-hung roof window or a window for a flat roof. The choice of roof window type depends on the roof pitch that you have.
Pick the right roof window for your roof pitch.
For roof pitch more than 15° you can choose either a centre-pivot or top-hung roof window.
The right choice for less than 15° roof pitch is generally a flat roof window. With a kerb kit you can install a centre-pivot roof window on a lower than 15° roof pitch.
