How to fit a VELUX window. VELUX window installation. VELUX top hung window & flashing kit install.

In this video I show you in full detail how to install a Velux top hung window with slate flashing kit. I go through the whole process including how to build the structural frame, how to fit the window sash, how to make your own felt collar, how to fit the flashing kit with associated slate work and how to fit the window. At the end of the video I show how to adjust the tension of the window springs, how to disengage the window springs and how to operate the window. In this example I use the GPL MK04 3070 (78cm x 98cm) top hung Velux window, and the EDL MK04 0000 slate flashing kit.

Probably the best instructional video on YouTube. I have used this twice now for CK04 and MK series. Isn't it amazing how people go out their way to help each other. Faith is back in humanity :-)

This....is the gold standard of realistic installation videos. Superb, and thank you!

Pouse, we can’t thank you enough for this tutorial, we are starting to renovate a small hamlet in Normandy, France and this Velux installation vid has been priceless, your explanations etc are second to none, thank you so much, loving your work.

Always thought this was a daunting task. But with your clear instructions and real time explanations I followed and fitted as I went. (Watched the whole thing twice first).
Few adjustments as I was using felt shingle tiles. But it all went smoothly.
A huge thank you to you for your time and effort to film this.

You Sir are a Natural Born Teacher. A most excellent instructional video which you have clearly taken great pains to make. THANK YOU.

[nickhtaylor]

It's the lessons learned from experience of previous installs that are so extra helpful. This is a big job and you don't want those sort of surprises halfway through. Great angles, nice explanations, very helpful. Appreciate it!

[wilfredwilde]

It’s the best Velux video on the net .They should make Mr Pouse an ambassador for their company.
He’s probably upped their sales since he posted this

[brendendale]

Thank you for taking the time to so thoroughly explain all aspects of the installation and operation of the window, your tutorial has demystified a complex job. Take care and stay safe, cheers from Australia 🇦🇺👍🤗

Well I have just sat here for an hour and watched this and it has just flown by. I did actually fit four of these two years ago into my conservatory roof conversion and whilst I followed your video installation, wish I had had access to it two years ago. Great video, and nice to see a comment from Big Pouse (think he was a little jealous!!)

[Noaxe_Tegrinde]

Very useful and practical video. THANK YOU! Not always possible to follow the manuals. I twisted and turned regarding the use of the Velux underfelt collar as my windows are near the ridge and hip corner so will have to be inventive, but went for it at the end and will adapt as necessary. I installed two Colt Rotos around 30yrs ago and they need replacing. I'm 77yrs now and the wife didn't want me to do it. Luckily the roofer who was going to do the job in Dec (to be fair it was due to the horrendous amount of rain we had in November) wasn't able to do it. So this has given me the chance to make sure it will be done properly and save £1500 too. If you do stuff yourself you can always take a little extra time to do things 100% that the tradesman can't afford to do. So thank you for this. BTW, The JJRoofing videos are very good too.

Great instruction with the attention to detail that user manuals can never give...Your loft conversion series has inspired me to make a start on mine.

[lovingitandlife]

i hav'nt fitted these for years!, so as a Carpenter i thought i would brush up on it, watched another couple of carpenters on here, not very well explained, also watched Velux tutorial, which was good, but yours was excellent, well done i enjoyed that.even thou was an hour, it flew by.keep up the good work, mark.

[slaneysider]

Thanks for that Pal, it’s the disengagement of the spring that i really needed to see, i made the boo boo of opening it fully while taking it out of the box, i was able to take the window out of the frame and fit the frame but when it came to the top flashing i couldn’t fit it until the springs were disengaged . 👍

[dominicksergiuvarga]

Couldn’t be explained better !! I’ve watched so many videos but not convinced this lad it’s amazing!!
Thanks a lot that was very helpful 👏👏

[Wild-Storm]

Don't know why I like watching his vids although I'm not a homeowner nor I will be diying anytime soon!

[benbowles]

Pouse, thanks for taking time to do this video. Fitted my velux this weekend using your video as a reference point. Job went perfect. Can’t thank you enough, made my job easy, cheers Ben

[lozp]

Yeah great video mate. Hit the nail on the head perfectly regarding the snags you run into when fitting in situ.... Doing a fair amount of replacements at the moment on all roof types, using varying brands of window, and there is ALWAYS something that isn't as straight forward as the instructions attempt to make it look, so this video and similar ones are extremely helpful to tradesmen of all skill levels, so thanks alot!

[DaveD]

Mate, loads of detail and great presentation, thank you. Installed an electric one today and all went fine, not one issue. Thanks again.

[lazycarper]

this is amazing, velux should pay you for this, its so clear the way you show people,

[ernstr.a.dewidt]

Hello Pouse (around the House), thank you very much for your instructional film. This is much clearer than the original from Velux, nice also for the wise advice when unpacking the window and and sharing with the window frame. I will wait a while for a day without rain before I do the job. Greetings from the Netherlands, Ernst
