Bathroom Fitting

Electric vs manual flat roof window

Anonymous user 16 March 2024 - 2.37 PM

Dear all, I have a ground floor bathroom in the form of a single storey extension. I would like to have a flat roof window fitted in the bathroom ceiling. The purpose for the window is to allow in natural light and allow ventilation. However, I am struggling to decide as to whether I should choose an electrical window or manual one. I have been advised that in a bathroom, a manual one would be better as the electrical one is more likely to become damaged because of condensation and stem. I personally would like an electric one and would be grateful for your thoughts. I know that an electrically operated bathroom window would be more convenient as you can open the window electronically via a remote switch. With a manual one, unlesss your 56 foot, which I am not, will probably struggle to reach the window should I wish to open or close it. Moreover, as I intend to rent the house out to private tenants at some point in the future, I have been advised against having an electric bathroom window. Your thoughts please? Cheers.
