Replacement of roof window

A VELUX roof window is designed to last for many years. A mini-

mal amount of maintenance ensures a fully functional window pro-

vided that the gaskets of the window and the foam gaskets of the

ﬂashing, if any, are replaced as and when required (see page 89).

VELUX is continuously working to improve the products, and there-

fore it will at some point be an advantage to replace the window

instead of renovating the old one.

TO BE CONSIDERED BEFORE REPLACEMENT

VELUX can assist in ﬁnding a suitable solution for replacing old

windows – regardless of size and brand.

Advantages when replacing the old window with a new VELUX

roof window:

• improved U-value – and therefore better comfort

• possibility of choosing another window type – eg changing from a

centre-pivot to a top-hung window, from a timber to a poly-

urethane window or from manual to electrical or solar operation.

Solar operated windows are particulary adaptable for this re-

placement application as they require no connection to the mains

power supply, see page 117 for further details.

• more attractive design – better integration in the roof

• guarantee for tightness and insulation around the window when

using VELUX installation products together with the window

Since 1973 VELUX has produced windows with standard dimen-

sions. It is therefore almost always possible to get a new window

with dimensions that match those of the old window.

VELUX roof windows produced later than October 1998 are

installed 27 mm deeper in the roof surface to ensure better heat

insulation. Therefore, in a replacement situation choose one of the

following options (see the examples on pages 86-87):

A Replacing lining

B Keeping lining but reduce their depth

C Keeping lining without alterations

D Replacing with one larger window or with more windows
