Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Installation of the VELUX Top Hung Roof Window requires precise roof opening dimensions and professional fitting to ensure proper weatherproofing and structural integrity. It is crucial to follow the manufacturer's detailed installation manual, which includes instructions for flashing and sealing to prevent leaks.
Compatibility: This window is designed for installation in pitched roofs. Compatibility with specific roofing materials (e.g., tiles, slates, metal roofing) depends on the appropriate VELUX flashing kit, which must be selected based on the roofing type and profile. Always consult the VELUX compatibility charts.
Care: The exterior of the window is designed for low maintenance. The polyurethane finish can be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners. The interior timber frame can be wiped down with a slightly damp cloth. Periodically check the frame and seals for any signs of wear or damage. The easy-clean coating on the glass helps repel dirt; a simple wipe with a clean cloth is usually sufficient. Ensure ventilation points are clear of debris.
