Troubleshooting

Window is difficult to open or close

Check for any obstructions in the pivot mechanism or control bar. Ensure the window frame is not warped. Clean and lubricate the pivot points if necessary.

Drafts or air leaks around the window

Verify that the correct flashing kit was used and installed correctly. Check the seal around the frame and glass. Ensure the window is fully closed and latched.

Water ingress around the window

Inspect the flashing and sealing around the window frame and the roof junction. Ensure no debris is blocking drainage channels. Professional inspection may be required.

Condensation on the glass

Condensation can be a sign of high humidity levels inside the room. Increase ventilation by opening the window or using ventilation accessories. Ensure good air circulation.

Loud noise during rain

While designed for rain noise reduction, extreme downpours can still create some noise. Ensure the glass and frame are clean. Check if any external accessories might be amplifying sound.

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.

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.
