THE VAPOUR BARRIER
When a VELUX roof window is installed
any vapour barrier present is penetrated. It
must be re-established with a membrane
that connects the window to the vapour
barrier within the roof/wall construction.
VELUX vapour barrier collar BBX is the
easiest solution.
If the membrane used is not a VELUX
vapour barrier collar BBX, this membrane
must be connected to the window rebate
at the frame with butyl or acrylic joint filler
to ensure tightness. Where the window
aperture meets the interior ceiling the
membrane must be connected to the va-
pour barrier of the house by means of tape
or tight overlapping joint.
THE LINING
When establishing the lining between the
window frame and the interior ceiling finish,
try if possible to make the lining horizontal
at the top and vertical at the bottom. This
gives the best warm air circulation across
the inner pane surface, the best influx of
light and the best view.
When using VELUX linings, the lining is
assembled before being clicked into the
rebate in one piece.
