Skylights, windows and daylighting products featured in Metal Architecture’s April 2021 issue.

Fakro America LLC

Fakro’s FGH-V Galeria roof window with sashes that, when open, create a balcony. The upper, top hung
sash opens upwards, while the lower sash can be tilted forwards to allow access to a balcony recess. Side safety barriers at the bottom sash slide out during opening. When closing the lower
sash, balcony rails are hidden inside the window and are not visible above the roof surface.
