FAQs

What is the primary advantage of the electric operation?

The electric operation allows the window to be controlled remotely via a wall switch, making it ideal for installations that are out of reach, such as high on a wall or above furniture.

Is this window suitable for bathrooms and kitchens?

Yes, the window features a durable, moisture-resistant white polyurethane finish with seamless construction, making it ideal for humid environments like kitchens and bathrooms.

How does the rain sensor work?

The integrated rain sensor detects moisture and automatically triggers the window to close, protecting your home from rain, even when you are not present.

What is the recommended roof pitch for installation?

This roof window is compatible with roof pitches ranging from 15° to 90°.

How do I clean the window?

Clean the window with a soft, damp cloth. The seamless polyurethane finish is designed to resist dirt accumulation and is easy to wipe down.

Does the window offer good insulation?

Yes, the specialized glazing provides superior sound reduction and thermal insulation, contributing to a more comfortable and energy-efficient home.

What safety features are included?

The window includes a laminated inner pane as standard for enhanced safety protection.

Do I need a professional to install this window?

Due to the electrical wiring required for the electric operation and rain sensor, professional installation by a qualified tradesperson is strongly recommended.

Troubleshooting

Window does not open or close via the wall switch.

Check the power supply to the window and the wall switch. Ensure all electrical connections are secure. If the issue persists, consult a qualified electrician or Velux support.

Rain sensor is not automatically closing the window.

Ensure the rain sensor surface is clean and free from dirt, leaves, or ice. Obstructions can prevent it from detecting rain. If the sensor appears damaged, contact Velux support.

Window is difficult to operate manually (if applicable) or appears misaligned.

Check for any obstructions around the window frame or mechanism. Ensure the roof pitch is within the compatible range (15°-90°). Minor adjustments may be possible, but significant misalignment may require professional inspection.

Condensation on the glass.

Some condensation may occur due to external temperature differences. Ensure adequate ventilation in the room. Persistent condensation, especially on the inner pane, might indicate a seal issue or insufficient room ventilation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: This model operates via a wired connection to a wall switch. Ensure compatibility with your existing electrical system or plan for the necessary wiring during installation. It is part of the VELUX range, suggesting potential compatibility with other VELUX accessories, though specific accessory compatibility should be verified.

Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents, which could damage the finish. The centre-pivot mechanism should be kept free from debris to ensure smooth operation. Periodically check the rain sensor to ensure it is clear of obstructions.
