Let’s explore how to choose the right one for your needs.

1. Match the Window to Your Roof Type

Dakea offers solutions for both pitched and flat roofs, so it’s important to start with your roof’s angle:

  • Pitched Roofs (15° and above): Choose from centre-pivot, top-hung, or conservation-style windows.

  • Flat Roofs: Opt for fixed or opening flat roof windows with triple glazing for maximum insulation.

2. Consider Thermal Efficiency

Energy performance is a key factor. Dakea’s Ultima Comfort range, for example, features triple glazing and U-values as low as 0.90 W/m²K, helping reduce heat loss and energy bills. Ideal for homeowners looking to improve insulation and comfort.

3. Choose the Right Material and Finish

Dakea windows are available in timber or PVCu, depending on your preference and room type:

  • PVCu: Great for kitchens and bathrooms due to moisture resistance.

  • Timber: Offers a classic look, perfect for living spaces and bedrooms.


4. Think About Size and Layout

As a general rule, the glazed area should be around 20% of the room’s floor space to maximise natural light. In larger spaces, two smaller windows may offer better light distribution and ventilation than one large unit.


5. Add Comfort Accessories

Dakea offers a full range of blinds, shutters, and electric openers, plus a telescopic opener rod for hard-to-reach windows. These extras enhance usability and comfort, especially in high or awkward spaces.
