FAQs

Can this window be cleaned from inside?

Yes, the centre-pivot design allows the window to rotate 180 degrees, locking in place so the exterior glass can be cleaned from within the room.

What is the warranty period?

Velux typically offers a 10-year guarantee on their roof windows, subject to correct installation and maintenance.

Does this window come with blinds?

Blinds are sold separately, but this model is fully compatible with the Velux range of internal and external light-control accessories.

Can I install this on a flat roof?

No, this centre-pivot window is specifically designed for pitched roofs between 15 and 90 degrees.

Is the glazing safety-rated?

Yes, it features laminated inner glazing as standard, which helps prevent glass from shattering into the room if broken.

Do I need special tools to install this?

Installation requires standard roofing tools and specific Velux flashing kits designed for your roof material; professional installation is highly recommended.

Troubleshooting

Window is difficult to open or close

Check the control bar for any physical obstructions and ensure the hinges are free of debris; apply a small amount of lubricant to the pivot points if necessary.

Drafts detected around the frame

Verify that the window is fully engaged and the frame locks are seated correctly; if the issue persists, inspect the exterior flashing for gaps.

Moisture buildup on the glass

Condensation is often caused by high internal humidity; increase airflow by using the ventilation flap or opening the window for short periods daily.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Proper installation is critical for the long-term performance of this Velux window. It must be installed using the correct flashing kit appropriate for your specific roofing material (e.g., tiles or slate). Ensure your roof pitch is within the 15° to 90° range before purchase.

For ongoing care, the white-painted timber finish should be wiped down with a damp cloth to remove dust or accumulated condensation. The ventilation flap filter can be removed and cleaned with mild household detergents periodically to maintain air quality. If the window is installed in a high-humidity environment like a bathroom, ensure adequate ventilation is maintained to preserve the frame lacquer.
