Project – Velux Glass Replacement

This week we are doing much needed maintenance work on a couple of VELUX skylights. The glass has blown and now needs replacing urgently. These were fairly large VELUX windows, today’s equivalent of GGL S06 windows.  Luckily enough these skylights were easily accessible from a beautiful roof terrace overlooking Canary Wharf.  It is time for the job of VELUX glass replacement.

We are going to replace two glass units, both very close to each other, however in separate rooms, here is the first one, very high up in this bedroom.

We then make our way to the roof terrace and here are the two VELUX skylights, we need to replace these glazing units.

We get to work on the Velux glass replacement….

You will notice a grill behind the glass, we remove these at the end as the customer wanted to fit blinds too.  The grills were put there by a previous owner.

The glass is now removed on both the top and bottom windows

We now get the new Velux glass ready to install.

The Velux windows are now re-glazed and have beautiful new clear class in them.

Location – Croydon, Surrey

The icy roads were not going to stop us serving our valued customers! we set off nice and early and head down to Croydon to replace an existing VELUX roof window.

The customer wanted his roof window replaced as the current one has been in there for many years and was never installed correctly in the first place.  Super Loft Shop to the rescue!

Here is the existing VELUX roof window.

01_current_velux_roof_window

It is a fairly large size roof window so it takes two strong lads to lift out the sash so we can get to work on removing the frame.

Sash removed and commencing frame removal.

Looking good and fresh.  Lets make sure it is securely in place before we can put the new window sash back in.
