Turn your attic room into your personal balcony with the Velux Cabrio balcony

NEWS – Do you have a room in your attic? Is it dark? Did you find it impossible to add natural light because of the pitch of the roof? Velux can add light, and add a balcony with their innovative Cabrio roof window and balcony combination.

The Cabrio installs like a skylight but can be opened to produce a personal balcony, allowing you to enjoy your morning coffee with a view. The upper section is top-hung and opens outward. The bottom section unfolds into a glazed balcony with side railings. Cabrio adds to your outdoor living space while also being able to provide filtered fresh air to your attic space when closed.

Cabrio comes with a clear coated pine interior finish, multiple exterior frame colors and in one size:

Outside frame (W” x H”) 37-1/16 x 99-1/4
Rough opening/ Finished frame (W” x H”) 39-3/8 x 101

Velux estimates completed installed costs to range from $4,450-$4,850 to replace a skylight with a Cabrio and $5,350-$5,950 for a new installation.

For more information and to find Velux certified installers, visit Velux.
