Troubleshooting

Window is difficult to open or close.

Check for any obstructions around the sash or pivot mechanism. Ensure the ventilation bar is fully engaged. If friction springs feel weak, consult the manual or a professional.

Drafts or leaks around the window.

Verify that the correct VELUX flashing kit was used and installed properly. Check seals for damage and ensure the window is securely closed. Re-sealing may be necessary.
