FGH-V Galeria Deck Mounted Balcony Window
- FGH-V Galeria is an innovative deck mounted window design, where the sash opens to create a balcony, maximizing the livability of a loft. The upper top hung sash opens upwards to 45°, supported by an integrated auxiliary mechanism which allows the upper sash to open in any position within this range.
- The lower balcony sash can be hinged and locked in any position from closed to 90 degrees vertically upright, allowing for easy access to the balcony. The upper sash can be opened and locked from closed position to 45 degrees. The side railings are integrated into the bottom sash that automatically expand during opening as a safety feature. When the lower sash is closed, the balcony railings are hidden inside the window profile, unlike other competitive models.
- The upper sash can be raised smoothly up to an angle of 45°. Side safety railings are integrated into the bottom sash and they tilt forward when the sash is opened. They do not collect dirt or spoil the aesthetics of the roof.
- Installation of balcony windows should only be performed by a qualified professional.

Highlights of the FGH-V Galeria Deck Mounted Balcony Window
Instant Balcony, Enjoy the View
- The upper sash of the FGH-V can be opened to create a glass roof protecting you from rain and sun. Providing plenty of headroom.
- The upper sash opens and locks at any point up to its full raised 45°. Opening independently from the lower sash, providing maximum flexibility.
Safe and Secure Integrated Railing
- The railing is strong and stable, the result of exceptional design and manufacturing. It opens effortlessly being manufactured from the highest quality materials and components.
- For safety, the side railings are integrated into the bottom sash and automatically expand during opening. Consisting of a heavy duty top rail and side rails closely spaced for safety.
Railing Hidden – Invisibly Folds into the Window Structure
- The side railing are seamlessly incorporated into the lower sash.
- When closed, the balcony railings are hidden from view in the window profiles. In their closed position they do not collect dirt and spoil the aesthetics of the roof, unlike competitive models where the railing is visible when closed.
Automatic V40P Air Inlet
- The V40P automatically achieves an optimal balance of fresh air inflow, adjusting to wind flow. In winter, outside airflow is limited to protect the room from energy and heat loss.
- Eliminates condensation. The inlet channel is designed so hot air avoids contact with the cooling effect of the colder aluminium that causes condensation.
Fresh Air Even when the Window is Closed
- Our innovative air inlet system uses a semi automatic vent activated by changes in wind pressure to continually adjust levels of fresh air flow.
- The air inlet design provides excellent thermal, and sound insulation, as well as outstanding air filtration keeping dust out of the room.
World Class European Quality
- FAKRO products are renowned the world over for their outstanding European design and manufacturing quality.
- FAKRO skylights and roof windows feature thick wooden frames made of select narrow grain pine, seasoned and vacuum pressure treated. Factory lacquered before final assembly.
- 20 year warranty against sealed unit failure.
FAKRO Uses Ultra Insulating Krypton Gas Filled Glazing
- No other gas delivers the thermal performance of Krypton. The gas is inserted into the chamber between the panes providing superior insulation.
- Krypton is considerably heavier than air, producing a superior energy efficient barrier. In fact it is twelve times denser than oxygen and 6 times denser than argon gas.
- Glazing units filled with Krypton gas reduce sound transmission of outside noise pollution.
- The gas particles are smaller and fill the air space more effectively than argon gas, producing a more effective thermal barrier.
- Krypton is more energy efficient than argon gas. This remarkable gas slows down or blocks thermal energy travelling through the glazing unit.
- Available on FTT U8 – VSG Center tilt, FGH-V Balcony Window, DEF/DMF/DXF flat roof skylights.
TopSafe System
- Rest assured, the proven topSafe anti burglary system improves security making the window extremely difficult to force open.
- The frame is screwed and locked in place in multiple locations, delivering enhanced safety, security, and burglary resistance.
Innovative Flashing System & Wide Range of Accessories Available
- FGH-V balcony windows require specific flashings: ELN-G for low profile and EHN-G for high profiled roofing materials.
- Blackout and Light Filtering blinds are available in a variety of fabric colours.

The Features of FAKRO’s Laminated Glass
Superior Sound Reduction
Reduces the effects of sound by up to 30% compared to standard double pane glass, and up to 50% less than a acrylic skylight. Bring natural light in without additional noise such as traffic or planes.
Additional Security
Laminated glass is more difficult to break and penetrate. So, if you are concerned about security it is worth considering. The vinyl interlayer holds the glass together in case of breakage.
Best in class UV Protection
Laminated glass lets the light in but protects your home from UV rays. The ideal choice to prevent fading of your floors, furniture and artwork.
Increased Safety
Laminated glass provides additional safety. Even when broken it does not shatter because the two inner layers of glass are bonded to a thin plastic membrane.
Many building codes require laminated glass for out of reach applications.
