Installation of a roof window
VELUX 17
Establishing opening
Adjust the position of the window
upwards/downwards depending on type of
flashing.
In roofs with:
• proled roong materials, allow for a full
course of tiles below the window.
• slates, ensure necessary overlap between
slates and flashing, see page 77 and instal-
lation instructions.
When deciding final position and dimen-
sions of the hole in the roof surface, add
20-30 mm on all sides to allow for correct
insulation around the frame. Define hole at
top and bottom with installation battens
and at sides with rafters as shown in the
installation instructions.
HOLE IN UNDERFELT AND CEILING
FINISH
Roofing felt can be cut as shown and folded
in order to ensure water tightness.
In a roof with an existing ceiling finish,
project frame dimensions perpendicular to
the ceiling finish and mark. Cut hole. It is
necessary to cut a temporary hole in order
to install window.
Note that it must be possible to re-estab-
lish the vapour barrier within the existing
roof construction (if present) with the new
vapour barrier around the window.
The final adjustments of the hole in the
ceiling finish should not be made until
installation of lining.
