How to fit a VELUX window. VELUX window installation. VELUX top hung window & flashing kit install.

It’s 4 by 2 your not American with 2by 4

so the window is only holding into place by 2 battons? 1 at the top and one at the bottom? i dont know why but it seems inadequate for such a heavy window.

just squaring my rafters at the moment i have got 8 reclaimed velux to install, this video is very helpful thanks a mill :-) any advise when using reclaimed velux. 6 are simpy for light 2 for opening

First class very good a must watch when fitting a velux.

What’s the j bar for that goes above the window across rafters?

That's the best instructional velux vid I've seen, I've got a GGL 8 PK04 to do, so it was great watching this, Thank you

Brilliant tutorial - excellent clarity. Cheers

Great job on the video - thanks!

smile once in a while bughger

Thanks that will make life a lot easier next week haven't installed one of these for a couple of years things have changed thanks again nice job

very good tutorial that has helped me loads.. thank you.

Great explanations, detailed and practical. Thank you for your time that you have put into explaining everything so well.

nice one mate ! do you have anything showing how to install velux or skylight window on the insulated metal roof ? thanks .. need to do the job !

My goodness, where do I find a man like that 😮

I love how you explain every little step and in detail 😊👍🏻

Excellent tutorial, cheers!

Well done sir, great video, I'm going to install a velux in my roof, which is slate. Thank you for your well presented instructions.

Very good video very deep detail explained very appreciate well done

Thanks

Yeah great video mate. Hit the nail on the head perfectly regarding the snags you run into when fitting in situ.... Doing a fair amount of replacements at the moment on all roof types, using varying brands of window, and there is ALWAYS something that isn't as straight forward as the instructions attempt to make it look, so this video and similar ones are extremely helpful to tradesmen of all skill levels, so thanks alot!

Very useful and practical video. THANK YOU! Not always possible to follow the manuals. I twisted and turned regarding the use of the Velux underfelt collar as my windows are near the ridge and hip corner so will have to be inventive, but went for it at the end and will adapt as necessary. I installed two Colt Rotos around 30yrs ago and they need replacing. I'm 77yrs now and the wife didn't want me to do it. Luckily the roofer who was going to do the job in Dec (to be fair it was due to the horrendous amount of rain we had in November) wasn't able to do it. So this has given me the chance to make sure it will be done properly and save £1500 too. If you do stuff yourself you can always take a little extra time to do things 100% that the tradesman can't afford to do. So thank you for this. BTW, The JJRoofing videos are very good too.

I could easily build a nuclear reactor if this guy was teaching me.

Brilliant.

Pouse, thanks for taking time to do this video. Fitted my velux this weekend using your video as a reference point. Job went perfect. Can’t thank you enough, made my job easy, cheers Ben

Excellent demonstration for the institution of velux well done

Excellent advice 😊

yet another educational video great tips

It helped me

NOT a top hung window! It’s a centre swivel!

Excellent video

Thank you! You are a great help

Excellent vid . Obviously a Genuine chap

Just wanted to say a very big thank you for this amazing video mate, it helped loads! We finally bought and installed a UK04 over the weekend. Glad I took my time to get the roof framing square, because we had the BDX insulation collar - If anyone buys this they should definitely add the full 60x45mm extra space as it becomes a very snug fit with little to no wiggle room to square the frame up. My neighbour gave me a hand with the installation, we kept this video on our phones to guide us through each step of the way! Not an easy job, but well worth the effort! Think I'll stick to installing Microsoft Windows from now on 😀 Thanks again mate!

Hi mate, I have been trying to find installation information like this, velux website has very basic and hard to follow instructions. I have 6 windows to fit and you have my friend have just made the whole process so much easier for me. Velux should pay you and use this detailed video on their website.
Many thanks
Keith

Pouse, we can’t thank you enough for this tutorial, we are starting to renovate a small hamlet in Normandy, France and this Velux installation vid has been priceless, your explanations etc are second to none, thank you so much, loving your work.

vidéo avec explications exceptionnelles dans la vraie vie, j' ai du aussi rectifier la tôle de finition supérieure pour pouvoir
l' emboiter correctement ! 👍😉

Hi Pouse, great video as always. I'm in the middle of my loft extension and about to install the velux. I am unable to get the vertical trimmings from gable to roofline due to the position of the purlins and collar. Do you think it will be sufficient to do the verticals from collar to roofline? Thanks in advance.

Amazing video, thanks for all the great advice and instructions.

Great video, thanks very much

Might leave this job for the experienced.

Thanks for a really great tutorial on how to fit a velux window, I have a question, my window is 780mm x 980mm the rafters are spaced at 400mm centres, do I have to cut out 2 rafters? If so this means I would be more than 60mm margin as you mentioned.

Excellent video. What are the slates you used?

A superbly instructive video. Chware teg.

It’s the best Velux video on the net .They should make Mr Pouse an ambassador for their company.
He’s probably upped their sales since he posted this

you didn't show how to finish the interior of the window.

great job replacing 2 of mine over the holiday weather permitting

Really good instruction. Thanks

Great video. Can you shed any light on why our window is trying to lift the top hung mechanism arms while on the centre pivot??

Best video I have seen to date.
