Important installation requirements
Roof pitch
Skylights VCM/VCE are designed for roof pitches 0° - 60° (0:12 - 21:12).
VELUX "No Leak" installation warranty applies only to VELUX curb
mounted skylights VCM/VCE with VELUX flashing ECL properly installed
on roof pitches 10° - 60° or VELUX flashing ECW properly installed on roof
pitches 14° - 60°.
Special consideration for applications below roof pitch 15°:
•
Any condensation that forms on the glass due to high humidity may
drip.
•
Standing water and dirt left on the glass may over time cause smudging
and corrosion of the glass.
Neither of the two above stated occurrences are covered under the VELUX
warranty.
Importance of proper installation
Satisfactory product performance depends on proper installation.
Seller accepts no responsibility whatsoever for failure of an installer to
install VELUX
roof windows and skylights in accordance with these
®
installation instructions. Although VELUX roof windows and skylights are
designed and manufactured to the highest standards, severe climatic ex-
posure as well as adverse indoor conditions (ie high humidity) may produce
temperature conditions which exceed product performance standards. In
these cases, special preventive measures may be necessary.
Seller reserves the right to implement product changes for improvement
without prior notification.
Operation and accessories
VCM: Curb mounted skylight VCM is designed for manual operation and
prepared for solar accessories.
VCE: Curb mounted skylight VCE is designed for electrical operation and
prepared for electrical accessories.
Refer to instructions for accessory type in question or contact your VELUX
sales company for further information.
Vapor barrier
Where a vapor barrier is part of the roof construction, this barrier must be
extended and connected to the skylight curb.

Consult local jurisdictions and authorities for recycling and proper
disposal of removed skylights and materials.
NOTICE
Skylights and interior surfaces in older homes may have been painted with
lead-based paint, and removal of the skylights may disturb this paint. Take
proper precautions to minimize exposure to dust and debris.
For more information on the proper removal of lead paint, go to
www.epa.gov/lead.
Seller assumes no obligation whatsoever for failure of an architect,
installer or building owner to comply with all applicable laws, ordi-
nances, building codes and safety requirements.
NOTICE
In rare circumstances, all glass may be subject to unexpected and spontane-
ous breakage due to imperfections in the glass that are undetectable durin g
the manufacturing and inspection process by the manufacturer of the glass
and the VELUX factory.
Your VELUX sales company offers the choice of laminated or tempered glass
skylights. Laminated glass is a combination of two or more glass sheets with
one or more interlayers of plastic (PVB) or resin. In case of breakage, the
interlayer is designed to hold the fragments together. Tempered glass does
not contain an interlayer to hold the fragments together. Instead, tempered
glass is designed to break into small, pebble-like pieces. When tempered
glass breaks, pieces of glass come loose and may strike an individual.
Consult local regulations and/or building material consultants to
determine which type of glass is right for you or if laminated glass is
required in your application.
Important installation requirements for the USA
VELUX
with VELUX flashing systems. VELUX flashing systems include VELUX
adhesive skylight underlayment in a quantity sufficient to install one skylight
of the size for which the flashing system was designed.
The VELUX "No Leak" installation warranty is based upon installation strictly
in accordance with VELUX deck or curb mounted skylight and related deck
or curb mounted flashing installation instructions, which specify the use and
proper installation of the VELUX adhesive skylight underlayment packaged
with the flashing system.
If VELUX adhesive skylight underlayment is not used or is not properly
installed and a service issue occurs related to underlayment omission, failure,
or its proper installation as detailed in the VELUX deck or curb mounted sky-
light and deck or curb mounted flashing installation instructions, the VELUX
"No Leak" installation warranty is void.
VELUX America Inc. understands that there are other types of adhesive
underlayment that are of equal or higher quality than what is provided
by VELUX America Inc. However, VELUX America Inc. cannot approve or
validate that any specific type of adhesive underlayment is better or worse.
Thus, VELUX America Inc. places the risk of using an alternative adhesive un-
derlayment onto the specifier by stating that if the alternative underlayment
becomes a failure point for the skylight or flashing system even if installed
according to our instructions, then the VELUX "No Leak" installation war-
ranty cannot be honored. Further, the alternative underlayment must not in
any way obstruct, alter or prevent the proper functioning of the complete
skylight and flashing installation, such as increasing the overall flashing
system thickness beyond prescribed dimensions.
VELUX America Inc. affirms that if a high quality alternative adhesive
underlayment, installed per our instructions, does not fail but a leak occurs in
some other VELUX skylight or flashing component due to no cause from the
alternative underlayment, then such a leak would be covered under the terms
of the VELUX "No Leak" installation warranty.
