FAQs

What is the Ug-Value of the glass?

The Ug-Value of the glass is 1.1 W/m2K, indicating good thermal insulation.

Do I need to buy flashing separately?

Yes, flashing kits are sold separately and must be chosen based on your specific roofing material and profile.

What is the minimum and maximum roof pitch for installation?

The general requirement is a roof pitch between 15 and 90 degrees, though the KFP flashing for plain tiles requires a pitch between 25 and 90 degrees.

How does the low-E coating benefit the room?

The low-E coating reflects heat. It helps keep the room cool in summer by reflecting external heat and keeps the room warm in winter by trapping internal heat.

What material is the window frame made from?

The frame is made from high-quality, FSC-certified pine wood from sustainable forests.

How much more daylight does this window provide?

The Yardlite Roof Window is designed to allow up to 10% more daylight compared to other branded windows.

What kind of warranty is offered?

The product comes with a 10-year guarantee.

Can the window be locked in different positions?

Yes, the moulded zinc handle allows the window to be locked in three different positions for ventilation or secure closure.

Troubleshooting

Window is difficult to open or close

Check for any obstructions around the frame or handle. Ensure the locking mechanism is clean and free of debris. If the issue persists, consult the installation manual.

Drafts or leaks around the window

Verify that the correct flashing kit was installed and that it forms a proper seal with the roofing material. Check for any damage to the flashing or seals. Ensure the window is properly secured.

Condensation on the glass

This can occur due to high indoor humidity. Ensure adequate ventilation in the room. If condensation is between the panes, it may indicate a seal failure, and the unit may need replacement.

Reduced light or visibility

Clean the exterior glass pane of dirt, moss, or other build-up. Ensure no external obstructions are blocking light.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent value for money, offering key features at a competitive price point.
  • Constructed from sustainable and high-quality FSC-certified pine wood.
  • Energy-efficient double glazing with low-E coating improves thermal comfort and reduces energy costs.
  • Toughened outer pane enhances safety and durability against external impacts.
  • Easy to install, potentially reducing labor costs.
  • Provides a significant increase in natural daylight.

Cons

  • Requires specific flashing kits (sold separately) depending on the roofing material.
  • The frame is made of pine, which may require more maintenance than uPVC or aluminum alternatives over the long term.
  • Not all flashing options are suitable for very low roof pitches (KFP requires 25-90 degrees).

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Installation requires basic carpentry skills and adherence to the manufacturer's guidelines. It is crucial to select the correct flashing kit for your specific roofing material to ensure a watertight seal. The window is designed for easy integration into most roof structures.

Compatibility: This window is compatible with several flashing types:

  • TFX: For standard tiles (16-50mm profile).
  • LSX: For standard slates (up to 16mm thick).
  • KFP: For plain tiles (up to 14mm thick); requires a roof pitch of 25-90 degrees.
  • UFX: Universal option for all tiles (16-120mm profile).

A roof pitch between 15-90 degrees is generally required, with the exception of the KFP flashing.

Care: The pine wood frame should be treated and maintained according to standard wood care practices to preserve its appearance and integrity. Clean the glass with a soft, damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners. The zinc handle should be kept free of debris.
