FAQs

Can I install this window myself?

Due to its electric nature and integration into the roof structure, professional installation by a qualified tradesperson is strongly recommended to ensure safety, proper function, and a watertight seal.

What power supply is needed for the electric motor?

The window operates on standard household electrical power. Specific voltage and wiring requirements are detailed in the installation manual provided by VELUX.

How do I clean the exterior glass?

The glass has an easy-to-clean coating that is activated by rain. For manual cleaning, use a soft, damp cloth with a mild, non-abrasive cleaning solution. Rinse with clean water.

What is the warranty period for this roof window?

Please refer to the VELUX warranty documentation for the specific warranty period applicable to this product model. Generally, VELUX offers comprehensive warranties on their roof windows.

Can I add blinds or shutters to this window?

Yes, this window is compatible with a wide range of VELUX internal and external blinds and shutters, which are sold separately. Ensure you select accessories specifically designed for your window size and type.

What is the minimum and maximum roof pitch for installation?

This roof window is suitable for installation on roof pitches ranging from a minimum of 15° to a maximum of 90°.

How does the rain sensor work?

The integrated rain sensor detects moisture and automatically sends a signal to the electric motor to close the window, protecting your interior from rain ingress. An indicator light may signal when the sensor is active.

Troubleshooting

Window does not open or close remotely.

Check the electrical connection to the wall switch and ensure power is supplied. Verify that the rain sensor has not triggered a closure (indicator light may show). Consult the installation manual for specific wiring diagrams.

Rain sensor is not functioning.

Ensure the sensor is clean and free from obstructions or dirt. Check its connection according to the installation manual. If the issue persists, professional inspection may be required.

Condensation on the glass.

While triple glazing reduces condensation, excessive moisture in the room can still cause it. Ensure adequate ventilation. The anti-dew coating helps minimize this, but prolonged high humidity may still lead to some condensation.

Window operates slowly or intermittently.

Inspect the window's moving parts for any obstructions. Ensure the electrical supply is stable. A power surge or dip could affect performance. Contact customer support if the issue continues.
