Roof window Fitting a electric opener

[75pete]

I would like to fit a actuator and switch, 230v, as there is already a fused spur and wall switch ready in place.

Anyone knows of a recommend actuator and supplier.

Thanks,

Peter

What is the make/type of roof window.

Some makers have their own kits that work specifically to the window model.

As above, there are retro fits but we would need to know what type of window.

Thanks for your replies. I will try to find out the make but in the mean time, any other thoughts?

Like the look of the chain unit. Thanks you two for taking the time to add some info.

There is a safety issue, especially with remote control. If the window starts to close when someone has their head out of the window they may become trapped. If the closing force is high it could result in serious injury or be fatal.

Always used them on windows with no access.
But a valid point if there is.

Good point, the window will have no access and needs to open only a couple of inches for ventilation only.
