About Our Dakea

At Joseph Parr Bradford, we supply a full range of dakea skylights designed to bring natural light, fresh air, and energy efficiency into your project. Whether you’re a tradesperson fitting multiple units or a homeowner tackling a loft conversion, Dakea products offer unmatched durability, easy installation, and value.

Skylights vs Roof Windows – Knowing the Difference

A skylight is typically suited to unoccupied or infrequently used spaces, such as storage lofts, garages, and workshops, where extra daylight and ventilation are welcome but high insulation isn’t critical.  Roof windows are better for living spaces, and offer better thermal performance and compliance with building regulations.

 

Why Choose Dakea Skylights?

Dakea is a trusted European brand with a strong reputation for building skylights that perform well in the UK’s variable climate. They are best known for:

  • Manufacturing Durable Products – weatherproof frames and glazing built to last
  • Being Easy to Install – straightforward fitting, often with pre-installed flashing
  • Offering Practical Ventilation – models with adjustable openings for airflow control
  • Being Energy Efificient– improved glazing options to help reduce heat loss
  • Guaranteeing Excellent Value – high performance without the premium price tag

 

Where to Use Dakea Skylights

Perfect for spaces where daylight is needed but maximum insulation isn’t essential such as lofts, workshops, garages, and garden rooms. 

If your project requires higher insulation or is for a main living area, you might also consider our velux and fakro ranges.

 

Installation Tips

  • Measure accurately to match the skylight size to your opening
  • Ensure the roof pitch meets the manufacturer’s specifications
  • Use the correct flashing kit for your roofing material
  • Always seal and insulate around the frame to prevent draughts
  • For higher or awkward placements, it's best to consider professional installation

Aftercare and Support

Dakea skylights are designed for minimal maintenance. Periodic cleaning of the glass and inspection of seals will keep them in good condition. Our Bradford branch offers after-sales advice, warranty support, and replacement parts if ever needed.
