Low pitch roof window

[bennettp23]

Hi,

I'm trying to find a cost effective solution for my proposed 12.5 degree pitched extension roof. Velux with the appropriate flashing are crazy expensive.

Has anyone used these and could give an opinion please?

Thanks for any help!

Velux are about to launch a new low pitch skylight,
down to 10 degrees apparently.

Buggers never said when I spoke to them yesterday!

Maybe it’s this one that is already available in NZ.

Nope! don't look like that, there is a picture in the current brochure.

Yeah that would be perfect - but says September 2021, need it in July gutted. I'll call them anyway.

I've read elsewhere of roofers raising the top of the windows with extra rafter, is that a possibility? I don't think it needs lifting much to get to the 15 degrees.

All these tricks of the trade are a compromise to some degree, if I were you I would create the aperture you need and tile over it until the new generation arrives.
