July 27, 20179 yr We may need to move a recently installed Velux window down the roof slightly due to it being in the wrong place .... Does anyone know if it's reasonably easy to remove the flashing as it clips into place as I understand it. Ideally I want it removed intact as I don't want to have to buy a new one ..!!
July 27, 20179 yr should be easy enough, Is it one of the new ones with the 2" foam surround, If so I cant help with that part but the rest should be mainly held together with screws, there are only 2 clips that come undone fairly easy that i know of, at least on mine there were
July 28, 20179 yr Just going to blatantly hijack this thread. This velux says 2 ventilation 'points'. Anyone know if they're still rainproof on the first 'click' ? Want to fit one in the attic I did for my boy last Xmas. Haven't got room for a bigger one as the perlins are still there and it's not a very high roof / tall room . I don't want the pivot type as it'll likely end up in the stairwell at the top of the stairs as the perlins are cut out there. Ideally I'd want a smaller window, anyone know where I'd get smaller without a big budget?
July 28, 20179 yr Do you need it to ventilate or just for some light? If you only need light. You could adapt a light tunnel of some form as they go down to 10" square. That said you would have to try and find a second hand one as they are £200+ New.
July 28, 20179 yr Nick, I've got the bigger version of that window in the current attic. (clambers up stairs) First position on the stay opens it 30mm but there aint much overlap so blown rain would be an issue.
July 28, 20179 yr Author @Nickfromwales this one may help you as its MoE plus the same size Top Hung Conservation Window
July 28, 20179 yr Tidy. ? Sunday is meausure up day to see where it fits without too much butchery. Cheers.
