Storage rooms, woolly mice and old-fashioned stuffiness in the attic are a thing of the past – instead, the OpenAir feeling and panoramic views are here to stay. Large sliding roof windows ensure optimum light penetration and make an important contribution to living comfort under the roof.
Everyone knows it, but hardly anyone likes it: grandma’s old attic. Dark corners, dusty boxes and cardboard boxes that have been tested by rodents for years for their bite resistance. Even today, attics are still considered cramped and dark. They often degenerate into dusty storerooms – wrongly so. More than other living spaces in a house, rooms under the roof are predestined to create a bright, friendly living atmosphere. Thanks to the sloping ceilings, at least twice as much sunlight can enter the living space as with façade windows of the same size, provided the windows are large enough. The incoming light creates a pleasant feel-good atmosphere and improves the quality of life. In addition, rooms flooded with light not only appear friendly and inviting, but also larger and more spacious.
Large skylights are therefore needed to open up new worlds of living and achieve the optimum under the roof. These are available in different versions and can be arranged in a variety of ways. If you want to enjoy maximum daylight and an impressive view of the sky, you should take a look at the Panorama sliding roof windows from Sunshine. With their gigantic dimensions, they offer an open-air feeling in a class of its own, allowing daylight and fresh air into the attic in maximum doses and letting the starry sky shine every night.
Panorama is a horizontal sliding roof system for large openings up to 12 meters wide and 3.5 meters high. It consists of one or two sashes that can be slid to the side. To open, the gigantic glass window elements are simply slid under fixed elements or the roof, either manually or with the help of an electric automatic system. The large glass elements allow optimum light into the room at all times and even on rainy days, the attic is illuminated in the best possible way. Panorama can also be used as a virtually barrier-free exit to a roof terrace or balcony.
The equipment options for the sliding roof windows include various types of glass , from super-warm glass to solar control glass and active glass. Awnings, roller shutters, interior blinds, blackout blinds and automatic control systems for temperature, sun, wind and rain are also available.
The dimensions that can be installed depend on the installation angle (10° to 90°), the expected snow load and the installation height above ground and sea level.
