Dual Pitched Solutions (formerly Vitral A74 and A98 Roof Glazing)

Dual pitched solutions are two rows of VELUX Glazing Panels connected at the top, creating a ridge. Self-supporting solutions can be installed between 25-60°, on either an upstand (on a flat roof) or as a non-protruding installation in a sloped roof. Furthermore, it is possible to install a dual pitched solution with a girder at the ridge.

The glazing panel system offers multiple corner solutions as hips, valleys and vertical glass gables, making the system rather bespoke and ideal for refurbishment as it can be designed to fit an already existing hole in the roof.

The panels and main parts of the accessories are pre-fabricated off-site, thus facilitating a quick and safe installation.

VELUX Glazing Panels are delivered with a 10-year guarantee on panels and flashings. Actuators and electrical components that are a part of the glazing panel system come with a 3-year guarantee.

VELUX Glazing Panel specialists offer support throughout design, specification and installation, including a project specific sub-construction drawing with measurements for the outer geometry.

Please note that sub-constructions are not included in the VELUX offering.

A hip is an external facing corner solution used to connect two adjacent sloping sides, creating a hipped end.

A valley is an internal facing corner solution used in the intersection between two individual rooflights.

Vertical glass gable finish increasing the daylight influx.

The prefabricated panel consists of aluminium frame profiles with a glazing unit sealed in using a UV resistant sealant material. When the panels are joined together on-site, the outer gasket and an inside drainage profile must be mounted to secure drainage.
The glazing panel system is delivered with installation profiles, gaskets and flashings, ensuring a weathertight solution.

Venting VELUX Glazing Panels have several options of actuators when specifying the panels. It is possible to convert a rectangular fixed panel to a venting panel by post-installing a visible actuator and a crossbar.

VELUX Glazing Panels are available in a wide range of sizes and functionalities:

1. Fixed panel – rectangular or shaped
2. Motorised comfort venting panel
3. Motorised smoke venting panel

VELUX Glazing Panels have a recommended minimum installation height of 2.5 m above floor level (inside) and ground level (outside). In case of installation below that level, safety measures must be applied by the installer/user to prevent serious injury. No instruction or measure can eliminate the inherent hazards resulting from installation heights below 2.5 m.

VELUX Glazing Panels come with standard low-energy double or triple glazing with the following features:

• Insulated glazing unit (Ug values down to 0.5 W/m2K)
• Toughened outer glass (optional)
• Heat soak tested (optional)
• Laminated inner safety glass
• Warm edge spacer (protects insulation properties over time and minimizes the risk of condensation at pane edges)
• Sun protection coating (optional)
