Purchasing VELUX Blinds & Accessories

STEP 1

Check the window code.

Every VELUX Roof Window carries a unique data plate that details the type and size of the window (see diagram below). Check the window's type and size. No measurements are needed.

STEP 2

Data Plate.

This specifies both the window model and the size. In these examples the model is GGL, however, the size code varies depending on the age of the window - eg S06, 606 or 4.

VELUX Type Signs Explained

VELUX Skylights

All VELUX Skylights have a type sign stating exact information about the window.

For windows such as the one illustrated here, the type sign is located in the right corner of the top sash behind the ventilation flap.

On other types of VELUX windows, you will find the type sign somewhere visible on the inside of the frame or sash, or behind the ventilation flap

The dataplate is located as follows when looking at the Skylight or Roof Window from inside the room:

  • GGL Roof Window (pivoting) - Open sash and see dataplate on top right-hand side of sash.
  • VSE Electric Opening Skylight (top hinged) - See dataplate on top frame on left-hand side.
  • VS Manual Opening Skylight (top hinged) - See dataplate on top frame on left-hand side.
  • FS Fixed Skylight - See dataplate on bottom frame on left-hand side.
  • FCM Low Pitch Skylight - See data stamped on external aluminium frame.

VELUX Blinds

You will usually be able to find the production code on either the back of the cassette list or the back of the handle rail (it can be seen when the sash is fully rotated).

Please note that on roller blinds without side rails, the production code is placed on the roller tube and can therefore be difficult to find.

Also on older blinds, the production code can be missing.

VELUX Flashings

The production code is usually placed on the bottom flashing section. Sometimes it may be necessary to remove the bottom frame cover to read the code, which is embossed or painted on the metal.

VELUX Panes

The production code is usually placed on the spacer in the glass cavity. Usually at the top left-hand side of the pane. It can be seen when the sash is fully rotated.
