Why settle for an ordinary skylight when you can easily create your own rooftop balcony? The Balcony Window Skylight from Fakro consists of a clever 2-window system with built-in extending side rails. Open the top window up and the bottom one forward, and you create a perfect perch for enjoying the view. Pair two together to create an outdoor dining patio for two or a cozy rooftop retreat.
