Troubleshooting

Window is difficult to open or close

Check for any obstructions in the pivot mechanism or frame. Ensure the locking handle is fully disengaged. If the issue persists, contact a professional installer as the frame may be out of alignment.

Water leaks around the window frame

Verify that the correct flashing kit was used and installed correctly according to manufacturer guidelines. Inspect the flashing and roof seal for any damage or blockages. Professional inspection may be required.

Condensation on the glass

Condensation can occur due to high indoor humidity. Ensure adequate ventilation in the room, especially during and after activities that produce moisture (e.g., cooking, showering). Check that the ventilation flap (if applicable) is open and clear.

Reduced sound insulation effectiveness

Ensure all seals around the window are intact and properly seated. The effectiveness is also dependent on the quality of the installed glass unit and the surrounding roof construction.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Effortless operation and cleaning due to center-pivot design.
  • Durable and easy-to-clean maintenance-free polyurethane finish.
  • Improved comfort through enhanced sound and thermal insulation.
  • Suitable for high-humidity environments.
  • Versatile installation across a wide range of roof pitches.

Cons

  • Requires specific flashing kits for installation (sold separately).
  • Professional installation is recommended for optimal performance and safety.
  • Polyurethane finish may show scuffs over time if treated roughly.
  • Potential for condensation in extreme temperature differentials if not properly ventilated.
  • Inner pane is laminated for safety, not toughened, which has different break patterns.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Installation requires precise measurements and adherence to manufacturer instructions, including the correct flashing kit for your roofing material and pitch. It is strongly recommended to have this window installed by a qualified professional to ensure watertightness and structural integrity.

Compatibility: This window is compatible with a wide range of Velux accessories, including manual and electric blinds, insect screens, and solar-powered ventilation systems. Ensure you select the appropriate flashing kit (e.g., EDW, EDS, EFW) based on your roofing type (tiles, slates, metal sheeting) and roof pitch.

Care: The maintenance-free white polyurethane finish requires minimal upkeep. Regularly clean the glass with a standard glass cleaner and a soft, damp cloth. For the frame, wipe down with a damp cloth and mild detergent if necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the finish. Ensure the pivot mechanism and drainage channels are free of debris to maintain optimal operation and prevent water buildup.
