The present disclosure relates to a roof window (1), wherein the roof window comprises a frame (2) supporting a glass unit (3) comprising an first outer major surface (9a) for facing the interior of a building, and a second outer major surface (9b) for facing away from the interior of a building when the window is installed in an aperture of a building. The frame (2) comprises one or more frame profiles (2a-2d) that is/are hollow and comprises an interior frame profile space (7) enclosed by exterior frame profile walls (5a-5f). A frame reinforcement profile (8) is arranged in the interior frame profile space (7), and the thermal conductivity coefficient (krp) of the material of the reinforcement profile (8) is higher than the thermal conductivity coefficient (ksw) of the material of the exterior frame walls (5a-5f). The reinforcement profile (8) comprises a wall part (8w) extending in a direction away from a first region located proximate a first plane (P1) comprising the first outer major surface (9a) of the glass unit (3), and moreover extends in the interior frame profile space (7) in a direction away from a second plane (P2), so that the interior space (7) is split into a first space part (7a) located at a first side of the reinforcement profile, and a second space part (7b) located at a second side of the reinforcement profile. The second plane (P2) is perpendicular to the first plane (P1), extends parallel to the longitudinal direction of the frame profile, and touches a part of an exterior surface (6a1) of a first exterior wall (5a) of the frame profile that faces and is proximate the frame opening (4).
A roof window, wherein the roof window comprises a frame supporting a glass unit comprising an first outer major surface for facing the interior of a building, and a second outer major surface for facing away from the interior of a building when the window is installed in an aperture of a building,
