Description

• Unlike acrylic or polycarbonate – laminated glass will not fade nor discolour over time.

• The smooth exterior gives a lower profile on the roof.

• High Performance double glazing as standard; with NEAT™ outer coating: reduces cleaning frequency.

• Approx 99% UV Block.

• Available in 12 sizes.

• Requires custom-made flashing (not supplied by VELUX).

• Versatile positioning††: most sizes can be used in portrait, landscape or even “diamond shape” orientation.

CodeMark is a voluntary certification scheme owned by the Commonwealth of Australia that provides legally binding evidence of compliance to the National Construction Code of Australia. One certificate replaces dozens of technical papers.

* For roofs below 15° pitch, VSS/VSE skylights need to be raised to 15° and custom flashed. VELUX can assist with technical advice and drawings. (NB: build-up not recommended in Bushfire areas.)

** VELUX recommends VCS is installed with a slight pitch (e.g. 3°-5°) to help reduce condensation build-up and water ponding on the glass.
