Troubleshooting

Window is difficult to open or close.

Check for any obstructions around the opening mechanism. Ensure the pivot is clean and free from debris. If the issue persists, the operating mechanism may require adjustment by a professional.

Water leakage around the window frame.

This typically indicates an issue with the flashing kit installation. The flashing may be damaged, incorrectly fitted, or incompatible with the roofing material. Professional inspection and repair of the flashing are recommended.

Condensation on the glass.

Some condensation is normal, especially in humid conditions or during temperature changes. Ensure adequate ventilation in the room. Excessive condensation may indicate a need for better room ventilation or a potential seal issue with the glazing unit.

Internal finish is dirty or marked.

Wipe the white painted interior with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn marks, use a mild detergent diluted in water. Rinse with a clean damp cloth and allow to dry naturally. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Installation of a Velux roof window should be performed by a qualified professional to ensure proper integration with your roof structure and to maintain the integrity of your roofing. A specific flashing kit, chosen based on your roofing material (e.g., tiles, slate) and the window model, is essential for a watertight seal and is typically required for installation. The window is designed for installation in roof pitches between 15° and 90°.

Compatibility: This window is compatible with a range of internal Velux blinds, allowing for customization of light control, privacy, and insulation. Ensure the chosen flashing kit is appropriate for your specific roofing material and profile depth (up to 90mm for tiles). The model GGL FK06 SD5J2 has dimensions of 660 x 1178mm.

Care: The white painted interior finish can be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners. The exterior frame and glass should be kept clear of debris. The centre-pivot mechanism should be checked periodically for smooth operation. The water-based lacquer coating on the exterior provides protection, but regular checks for any damage or wear are recommended.
