Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Installation requires basic carpentry skills and adherence to VELUX installation guidelines. It is crucial to use the correct flashing kit (sold separately) for your specific roof type to ensure weatherproofing and proper integration with the roof covering. Professional installation is recommended for optimal results and warranty compliance.
Compatibility: This window is designed for roof pitches between 15° and 90°. It is compatible with all VELUX accessory blinds, including blackout blinds, roller blinds, and Venetian blinds, as well as external awning blinds and shutters. Ensure you select the appropriate flashing kit for your roofing material (e.g., tiles, slates, metal profiles).
Care: The exterior of the window is designed for low maintenance. Clean the glass with a soft, damp cloth or a standard glass cleaner. For the pine frame, wipe it clean with a damp cloth and mild detergent if necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners. Periodically check that the ventilation flap and pivot mechanism are free from debris and operate smoothly. Ensure the drainage channel (if applicable) is clear.
