Its key benefit is the durable, moisture-resistant polyurethane finish that requires minimal upkeep.

FAQs

What is the main benefit of the polyurethane finish?

The white polyurethane finish is maintenance-free, highly durable, and moisture-resistant, making it ideal for humid rooms and eliminating the need for regular upkeep.

Can I clean the outside of the window from inside?

Yes, the centre-pivot design allows you to rotate the sash 180 degrees from the inside, making it easy and safe to clean the exterior glass without needing to go outside.

Is this window suitable for kitchens and bathrooms?

Absolutely. Its moisture-resistant polyurethane construction is specifically designed to withstand the high humidity levels found in kitchens and bathrooms.

How do I get fresh air without opening the window fully?

The window features a ventilation bar at the top. You can open this bar to allow fresh air to circulate while the window remains securely closed, thanks to the integrated dust and insect filter.

What roof pitches is this window compatible with?

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

Do I need to buy anything else for installation?

Yes, a compatible VELUX flashing kit specific to your roofing material and a suitable timber support frame are required for installation. Optional blinds are also available separately.

How does the special glazing improve comfort?

The special glazing provides improved thermal insulation, helping to keep your home warmer in winter and cooler in summer, and also offers enhanced sound reduction from external noise.

Troubleshooting

Window is difficult to open or close.

Ensure the window sash is properly aligned and not obstructed. Check if the friction springs are clean and free of debris. For VELUX INTEGRA® models, check battery levels or power supply.

Drafts or leaks around the window.

This usually indicates an installation issue. Ensure the correct VELUX flashing kit was used and properly installed. Check seals and consider professional inspection.

Ventilation bar not allowing fresh air.

The dust and insect filter may be clogged. Remove the filter and clean or replace it according to the care instructions.

Window sash does not lock securely.

Check the locking mechanism for any obstructions. If it persists, professional servicing may be required.
