This blog will explain the details of VELUX’s 10-year hail warranty, its benefits, and why it’s a valuable feature for Calgary homeowners. Understanding this warranty will help you make an informed decision about protecting your home with VELUX skylights installed by AKRoN Roofing.

Overview Of VELUX Skylights

For over 75 years, VELUX has been dedicated to producing high-quality skylights that are synonymous with reliability and innovation. Renowned worldwide, VELUX has built a reputation for creating products that enhance natural light and improve energy efficiency in homes.

Their commitment to excellence and customer satisfaction has made them a trusted name in the skylight industry.

Types Of VELUX Skylights

At AKRoN Roofing, we commonly install VELUX skylights, with a primary focus on Fixed Curb Mount Skylights.

• Fixed Curb Mount Skylights: These skylights are mounted on a curb and are ideal for a variety of roof types, including flat, low-slope, and steeper roofs. They provide excellent natural lighting without opening, ensuring constant illumination in any room. Due to their versatility and ease of installation, they are the most popular choice in the Calgary area.
• Deckmount Skylights: Although less common in our region, Deckmount skylights are designed to be installed directly onto the roof deck. They offer a seamless, low-profile appearance and are known for their durability and energy efficiency. However, they are more difficult to replace compared to Curb Mount skylights.

VELUX Laminated Glass

VELUX laminated glass is a standout feature of their skylights. This type of glass is specifically engineered for durability and safety. Some key features include:

• Enhanced Safety: The laminated glass is designed to stay in place even if it breaks, reducing the risk of injury.
• UV Protection: It blocks harmful UV rays, protecting your interiors from fading and damage.
• Noise Reduction: Laminated glass helps to reduce external noise, creating a quieter indoor environment.
• Hail Resistance: With a robust structure, VELUX laminated glass can withstand severe weather conditions, making it an ideal choice for homes in hail-prone areas like Calgary.

The VELUX 10-Year Hail Warranty

The VELUX 10-year hail warranty offers comprehensive protection against hail damage to the laminated glass in their skylights. This warranty ensures that if your VELUX skylight’s laminated glass is damaged by hail within ten years of installation, VELUX will cover the cost of replacement or repair.

This protection includes:

• Hail Impact Damage: Coverage for cracks, breaks, or any other damage caused by hailstones.
• Replacement and Repair Costs: Full coverage of the expenses related to replacing or repairing the damaged laminated glass.
