Interested to know what you've found for these. From my initial looks it seems like triple glazed without vents is regarded as a bit of a niche and it's a bit of a struggle to get details.]]> https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=10075&Focus=166485#Comment_166485 https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=10075&Focus=166485#Comment_166485 Sat, 02 Feb 2013 22:15:59 +0000 tony https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=10075&Focus=166528#Comment_166528 https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=10075&Focus=166528#Comment_166528 Sun, 03 Feb 2013 15:48:10 +0000 fostertom https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=10075&Focus=166530#Comment_166530 https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=10075&Focus=166530#Comment_166530 Sun, 03 Feb 2013 16:03:46 +0000 Shevek http://www.vitral.co.uk/uploads/attachments/vitral_skyvision_brochure.pdf

Their insulated flat roof roof lights are as good as anything else on the market and reasonably priced (considering). They also do a PassivHaus certified product, but the cost is eye watering.....]]> https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=10075&Focus=166877#Comment_166877 https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=10075&Focus=166877#Comment_166877 Thu, 07 Feb 2013 15:30:32 +0000 NatalieCSW https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=10075&Focus=166879#Comment_166879 https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=10075&Focus=166879#Comment_166879 Thu, 07 Feb 2013 15:41:25 +0000 Nick Parsons

Hi Mark,

See from AECB forum you've been on with your project since 2010 - about as long as mine! Have you come to a conclusion on sliding folding doors. I have had quotes around £10k for 3 panels timber/aluminium - about the same as a new VW up!!! No technology comparison there. Thinking sliding doors best but hard to get same opening with 3 panes ie 3 sliding and probably end up about same price unless you go with door unit. Which flat rooflight have you gone for. I have detailed a fixed flat one if your interested but not got costs yet.
When do you start building?]]> https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=10075&Focus=177207#Comment_177207 https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=10075&Focus=177207#Comment_177207 Sun, 02 Jun 2013 08:15:27 +0100 neilgorswift Posted By: neilgorswiftWe're planning to use these: http://www.lamilux.com/daylight-systems/daylight-elements/flat-roof-window.html
Hi Again Mark,
Seen your blogg looks like you have gone through exactly same issues as me.
When you have installed your home automation can you come and do mine?

Cheers]]> https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=10075&Focus=177240#Comment_177240 https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=10075&Focus=177240#Comment_177240 Sun, 02 Jun 2013 20:08:05 +0100 MarkBennett
my history on this forum and elsewhere is misleading - we've been working on a project on this site for a lot longer than that, but it only turned into a contemporary "green" build about 3 years ago, which is when I started to become active.

I haven't been so active the last few months as we've been preparing to move house and get going on the project and haven't had a lot of time left over. We're starting to face some tricky areas in the detail design so I may well be posting for some more advice/discussion soon.

We're going for Solarlux SL97 folding sliding doors. They seem to be about as good as it gets, although are more expensive than most that I looked at. I don't know the sizes for your windows, but ours are 2.7m wide by 2.09m high in three panels, with 46mm 3G argon fill and come out at around £7k (exc. VAT) for a set. You're price either seems excessive or you have very big windows.

I think that by the time I've done my home automation I'll be looking for a well designed rest! The Loxone system looks really good, and programming isn't that hard, especially if you have any kind of logical/engineering background. I'd be more than happy to share ideas and help solve problems though if you need.

Thanks,
Mark.]]> https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=10075&Focus=177264#Comment_177264 https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=10075&Focus=177264#Comment_177264 Mon, 03 Jun 2013 12:19:36 +0100 Simon Still
Sunflex was closer to £8k. I'm not sure the Solarlux are *that* much better. Pretty sure we've decided to go with a sliding door instead now.

On the Fakro rooflight at Ecobuild I talked to the guy on the stand. He said they were supplied with it only at the show with no information and it won't be available for a while yet - towards the end of the year from memory.]]> https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=10075&Focus=205166#Comment_205166 https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=10075&Focus=205166#Comment_205166 Tue, 08 Jul 2014 22:56:25 +0100 thornewyness https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=10075&Focus=213274#Comment_213274 https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=10075&Focus=213274#Comment_213274 Sat, 15 Nov 2014 10:34:21 +0000 ward32
However, there are several of the rooflights that could be none opening and I keep searching for such windows but cannot find anything price/performance wise that matches the Fakro units. I will spec Fakro for now but as I won't need them for > a year I might change!]]>
