Product Details

Description

The VELUX roof balcony and terrace are skylight window products for sale in the European market. The product family covers a range of product varieties as specified in the table below. The terrace window consists of a combination between the GEL variant (top) and either VEA, VEB or VEC variants (bottom). The terrace window is available in one size (2.45 m x 0.78 m), while the different variants in the window are not available as individual windows. The balcony window (GDL) consists of an upper and a lower section. All windows have a wooden frame/sash. Some windows can be opened (venting), while others cannot be opened (fixed). In addition, the windows consist of 4 different hinge-functionalities (pivot-hung, top-hung, side-hung, bottom-hung). The handles and handlebars are made of aluminium, while the hinges are made of steel (galvanised, stainless). The windows are opened and closed manually. The calculations are based on the representative terrace window type named GEL+VEA. In the LCA, the GEL+VEA was assessed to be a conservative choice for a representative window type. The glass panes are with triple glazing (3-layer glazing unit) and different glass configurations are covered by the EPD. The glass thickness ranges from 10 to 13 mm. The glass panes have cavities filled with Krypton gas. The EPD is based on a weighted average of the included glazing unit configurations. The included glazing unit configurations are: 65 G and 66. Only the window modules are included, which means that any applied installation products, accessories, etc. are not part of the EPD. These are available as separate EPDs, that can be used in combination with this EPD. 1 3-layer glazing options: 65 G, 66
