The summer months invite you to head outdoors. However, not everyone has the opportunity to spend a lot of time outside or build a terrace in their attic to get closer to nature. That’s why VELUX offers an interesting yet simple solution – the Cabrio® roof balcony. It can be installed even in attic apartments where the layout does not allow for a standard balcony. Moreover, the installation of the Cabrio® balcony is much simpler and does not require extensive construction modifications.

With the Cabrio® roof balcony, you can literally step into the surrounding landscape and enjoy fresh outdoor air anytime without having to leave the house. By simply opening two windows, you gain a magnificent panoramic view and a sense of more space in a room that will be fantastically illuminated by natural daylight.

Controlling the balcony is very straightforward, and opening it takes only a moment. “The balcony is created by opening two windows that perfectly blend in with the roof when closed. The upper part of the window can be tilted up to an angle of 45° with the help of a handle, while the lower glazed wing with a retractable railing opens very easily outward,” explains Tomáš Švec, product manager at VELUX. When both windows are closed, a unified glazed area is created, essentially a large roof window that brings a generous amount of daylight into the apartment. The balcony can be installed on any roof with a pitch between 35° and 53°.

Main benefits of the Cabrio® roof balcony:


The balcony windows are equipped with integrated ventilation, allowing fresh air to flow into the room without having the window open. The ventilation system also includes a built-in and easy-to-clean filter against dust and insects. Energy efficiency is ensured by the unique VELUX ThermoTechnology™ insulation system, which effectively improves the parameters of the window frame and consequently the entire window, keeping the warmth inside your home. Although you might not be able to enjoy long views from the balcony in winter, you will at least appreciate the view through the large roof window.

The glass of the roof balcony is safe and laminated – if, by chance, the glass were to break under impact, it would not fall out of the window, ensuring safety, especially if there are children running around in the apartment. Like every VELUX product, the balcony can also be enhanced with indoor and outdoor shading accessories.

As for window care, we have made sure that maintenance is easy. Regular upkeep is therefore simple. The balcony glass has a self-cleaning coating, which means you won’t have to wash it as often. The self-cleaning effect is based on the easier breakdown of organic dirt and their quicker rinsing from the glass. When activated by light, the surface of the glass becomes highly hydrophilic – during rain, water spreads over the surface and forms a continuous film. For this reason, a special coating also protects the window from fogging. Thus, you only need to wipe the windows occasionally with a cloth or wash them with a window cleaning solution.
