Over time, Velux windows may suffer from wear and tear due to weather exposure, accidental damage, or aging seals. Common reasons for replacing Velux glass include:

Condensation and Fogging: Double glazed units can develop condensation between the panes, reducing visibility and thermal efficiency.

Cracks or Breaks: Impact damage from storms, falling debris, or accidents can lead to cracks, making your window unsafe.

Energy Efficiency Upgrades: Older glass units may not offer the same level of insulation as modern low-emissivity (Low-E) or triple glazed options.

Noise Reduction: Upgrading to acoustic glazing can help reduce external noise, ideal for homes in busy or urban areas.

Improved UV Protection: Newer Velux glass options include coatings that block UV rays, protecting your furniture and interiors from sun damage.

How to Identify Your Velux Window for Replacement Glass

Before quoting for a replacement glass, you need to identify your Velux window model. Each Velux window has an identification plate located on the frame, usually visible when you open the window. The plate includes:

1. Window Type (e.g., GGL, GGU, GPL, etc.)
2. Size Code (e.g., MK06, FK08, etc.)
3. Production Code
