Is there always value in traditional facade windows?
On tight sites where building close to the property boundary is unavoidable, there are often times when facade windows introduce issues of privacy. In these situations, the facade window often comes with reduced benefits due to neighbouring buildings also blocking desirable views, quality daylight and in some cases good ventilation.
Consider replacing these with roof windows for increased value.

Experience the daylight difference - in a virtual reality

To experience the difference, with and without daylight through the roof, scroll down and take a virtual tour.
