Many attics have no windows,
which is very interesting to install an opening so you can get much natural
light as air, as this will also be used as a bedroom, study area or site of
games without having to with the electric light on all day. To place a window
in the attic to keep in mind that we need to ensure tightness and each window
must have special fences or flashing to fit corrugated roofing (like tile) or
smooth (like slate), depending on type of roof you have in your home. These
fences improve the isolation and facilitate drainage of rainwater.
As for the window itself,
finishes used are aluminum, PVC and wood treated specifically for this,
although the latter is used much less. Whatever the material chosen, it is
imperative to resist the different climates, whether hot sun or rain or wind
storms, as being directly on the roof exposure is greater than normal windows.
There are different types of
windows to attic, classified chiefly by the kind of opening they have, but we
must also take into account the type of roof slope to choose either model. The
different types are:
-Tilt: turn allows the window, which facilitates cleaning the exterior
glass. The only drawback, we have is that when you open the glass is half
inside the room, so you should be careful not to give any hit.
-Swivel: rotating about a central axis, which gets a 180 degree
rotation for easy cleaning.
-Projecting: open outwards, which favors the evacuation of water and
increases the free space in the room.
-Lateral: opens outwardly from one side. It is the most practical if
you regularly access the roof for any reason.
