Frequently Asked Questions
Can a Velux be installed on all roofs in Geneva?
Yes, Velux windows adapt to most roofs, with pitches ranging from 0° to 90°.
Which Velux should I choose: centre-pivot or top-hung?
A centre-pivot Velux is ideal for steeply pitched roofs. A top-hung Velux is suitable for lower pitches.
Do I need planning permission to install a Velux in Geneva?
In villa and agricultural zones, planning permission is generally not required for glazed areas up to 1 m².
Can an old Velux be motorised?
Yes, it is possible, but only on the latest generation models (generally from 2014 onwards), which are compatible with motorisation systems.
Can the glass of a Velux be replaced?
Yes, but only on newer Velux models, where the glazing is designed to be replaceable.
Can Velux weather seals be replaced in Geneva?
Yes, seals can be replaced to guarantee good weatherproofing and prolong the lifespan of the Velux. We can also lubricate the mechanisms to ensure smooth operation and prevent wear and tear.
Can the flashing of the Velux be kept during a replacement?
Yes, it is possible, but it depends on the condition of the existing flashing and its compatibility with the new Velux. If the seals or certain elements are damaged, a replacement becomes necessary.
Can I have one remote control to operate multiple Velux windows?
Yes, there are remote controls available that allow you to operate multiple Velux windows simultaneously, individually, or in groups.
Can an insect screen be fitted to a Velux?
Yes, it is perfectly possible to install an insect screen on a Velux window. You can also discover our bespoke insect screens.
When replacing a Velux, can the existing internal reveal be kept?
Yes, it is possible, but it depends on the condition of the reveal and its compatibility with the new Velux. If it is in good condition, it can be kept; otherwise, adaptations or a replacement may be required.
Can an existing Velux be enlarged?
Yes, this is possible.
Can several Velux windows be assembled together?
Yes, it is perfectly possible to combine several Velux windows side by side or vertically.
What is the lifespan of my Velux?
On average, a Velux has a lifespan of 20 to 30 years, depending on maintenance and exposure.
When should a Velux be replaced?
It is advisable to replace a Velux after 20 to 30 years, or sooner in the event of water ingress, condensation between the panes, difficulty opening, worn mechanisms, or a loss of thermal insulation. A replacement improves the comfort, insulation, and security of your home. Contact us for a quote.
