Roof Windows
There are six main types of Velux Roof Windows available. These include top-hung, centre pivot, conservation style, roof terrace, balcony, and flat roof kerbed.
Common window sizes and flashings Velux Pine Frame
The Velux Pine Frame is a classic design that has undergone many changes. The current version has a triple layer of clear varnish that helps protect it.
Velux White uPVC
Velux White uPVC has become quite popular since it was introduced, mostly in places with high moisture content. It is made using high-quality moulded polyurethane with a timber core.
Ventilation Bar
Most windows come with a ventilation bar that has three settings. The first setting as the bar completely flush with the window itself and is locked in place. In the second setting, the bar is opened partially and there is ventilation, but the window is locked. In the last setting both the bar and the window are open.
Velux Integra Roof Window
The Velux Integra range of roof windows is powered by electricity or solar power. They are ideal for situations where the windows cannot be reached easily and they also have sensors which close the instant they detect rain and are available in classic pine as well as polyurethane frames.
Velux Flashing Kits
The job of a flashing kit is to make a waterproof installation into a type of covering for the roof. One of the things to keep in mind is that the jit should be able to fit the angle of the roof. It is a common mistake to note the window’s angle, but forget about the roof.
