Velux style windows

Hi

First of many posts I'm sure. :)

I'm trying to find out of there is any alternative to Velux windows? We are going to be doing a roof conversion & need to keep a tight hold of the budget. We need Velux windows but they are expensive. :(

Any suggestions on alternatives or how to bulk buy cheaper Velux windows?

Thanks

  • Try Rooflite, they tend to be cheaper than Velux - stocked by B&Q I think too. Also try Fakra and Fenstro.

    Our builder fitted Fakro. Seem OK so far.
  • Hi

    Brought 2 Velux off Condells online as they are doing 20% off the price.
    You could also try flee bay
    You will also need the flashing kits as they are sold seperatly

    Fakro worked out more expensive for me tbh...
  • Thank you for all your suggestions.
    I will have a look at them. Interestingly I have just been reading another thread about Velux windows inner glass exploding :eek: My last house had on above my daughters bed & I will bare this in mind when choosing which type/range to buy & also where to locate beds!

    Now off to set up my account so I know when I have a reply.:D
  • Just make sure you specify a laminated inner pane, then you wont get problems with them shattering. Its not a rooflight problem, its a double glazed unit problem
  • i have found the best place to buy roofwindows is sterlingbuild.co.uk 01304 219922 they have a huge range of product in stock , they sell the velux and also rooflite whihc is a sister company of velux, they prices arereally good and offer bundle offers, the window has the same guarentee as a velux so offer great value.
