Roof windows, also known as skylight windows or dormer windows, are purpose-built fenestration designed for installation in pitched roofs. They transform under-roof spaces into habitable, bright and perfectly ventilated rooms. FAKRO, the world's second-largest manufacturer of roof windows, offers a complete range combining technological innovation, energy efficiency and maximum durability.
At Tecnisun C.B. we are the exclusive distributors of FAKRO in the province of Granada, allowing us to offer the full product range with specialised technical advice, professional installation and direct after-sales service. We have been installing roof windows in homes, attics and lofts across Granada and its province for over 30 years.
A loft space with FAKRO roof windows can gain up to 40% more natural light than with conventional vertical windows of the same size. This is because the angle of incidence of sunlight through the roof slope allows deeper and more uniform illumination of the space.
FAKRO offers different series adapted to every need and budget. The two main materials are PVC and wood, each with specific advantages depending on the installation environment and project requirements.
The FTP-V series is the most demanded for homes in Granada due to its excellent value for money and total moisture resistance. Manufactured with multi-chamber PVC profiles reinforced with galvanised steel, it offers exceptional thermal insulation with zero maintenance required.
The FTT series is manufactured from laminated pine wood with triple protective treatment. It is the preferred choice for spaces where a warm, natural aesthetic is desired, such as bedrooms, loft living rooms or studios.

Installing FAKRO roof windows in your Granada home radically transforms under-roof spaces. These are the main benefits our clients highlight after installation:
A 78x118 cm roof window provides the same amount of light as a 120x150 cm vertical window. Being positioned on the roof slope, it captures direct sunlight for more hours per day, especially in winter when the sun is low. In Granada, with over 2,800 hours of sunshine annually, the natural light harvesting is exceptional.
Roof windows harness the natural chimney effect: when you open the upper window, hot air rises and evacuates, creating a natural ventilation current that renews the room's air. This is especially useful during Granada's hot summers, where temperatures under the roof can easily exceed 45°C without adequate ventilation.
FAKRO windows with triple glazing and low-emissivity coating reduce heat loss in winter and limit excessive solar gain in summer. The result is a comfortable space year-round with lower climate control consumption. A well-insulated attic with FAKRO windows in Granada can reduce heating costs by up to 30% compared to the same space with old skylights or no ventilation.
Converting an under-roof space into habitable area adds usable square metres to your property. According to real estate market data in Granada, an attic with an enabled loft can be worth between 15% and 25% more than the same property without that utilised space. The investment in roof windows is more than recovered in property appreciation.
To maximise natural light, we recommend installing roof windows on the south or southeast-facing slope. In Granada, this orientation guarantees direct sunlight for at least 6 hours daily even during winter months. If you need cross ventilation, combine windows on two opposite slopes.
Installing a roof window is not a DIY job. It requires specific knowledge of construction, waterproofing and building regulations. These are the key factors we evaluate in every project:
At Tecnisun we carry out a free technical visit to assess all these factors before quoting. Every installation includes the FAKRO flashing kit specific to your roof type, professional waterproofing and a leak-proof guarantee.
One of the great advantages of FAKRO windows is their low maintenance. Our recommendations to keep them in perfect condition for decades:
If you prefer a worry-free approach, our annual maintenance service includes complete roof window inspection with cleaning, lubrication and seal replacement as needed.

As exclusive FAKRO distributors in Granada, we offer advantages that no other installer can match:
FAKRO offers a complete range of accessories to maximise comfort and functionality of your roof windows:
Can roof windows be installed on any type of roof?
Yes, FAKRO manufactures flashing kits for all roof types: flat tiles, curved tiles (very common in Granada), slate, corrugated sheet, etc. The only essential requirement is a minimum roof pitch of 15° (although special solutions exist for flat roofs).
Is there a risk of leaks?
With professional installation, no. The FAKRO waterproofing system includes a flashing with lead or aluminium apron that integrates under the tiles, creating a hermetic seal. At Tecnisun we guarantee 3 years of installation watertightness.
Do I need planning permission to install roof windows?
In most cases, a prior communication to the Town Hall is sufficient. However, in protected areas such as the Albaicín or the Historic Centre of Granada, planning permission may be required. We advise you on the necessary procedures in your area.
Can roof windows be motorised?
Yes. FAKRO offers factory-fitted electric models and motorisation kits for manual models. Electric versions include a rain sensor that automatically closes the window if it starts to rain.
