Windows for a sloped wall

CloudHidden | Posted in General Discussion on

Does anyone know of a manufacturer of windows for a sloped wall. Velux has a line of roof windows that seemed to apply, except that most are discontinued or European only. The ones available in USA work only in a 15-55 slope (from horiz) and I’m at 70 degrees. They have skylights that work at that slope, but they don’t open sufficiently for bedroom egress.

Anyone know of other workable options? Thanks.

      Thanks (as always) for the suggestion, piffin, but I don't believe those qualify for egress from bedroom. Actually, they look more like the Velux skylights (with the crank mechanism) than the Velux roof windows, which hinge open for clear egress.
