Maintenance & Repair
Skylights should be inspected at least once per year and any build up of leaves and rubbish be removed from around the skylight. Depending on the severity of the problem, this may be needed to be performed more often.
The Skyspan skylight is normally cleaned by the elements. At least once per year, wipe over with soap and water and a nonabrasive sponge. Avoid using solvents and thinners. Dust and wipe over to ensure that any build up or caked dust is removed which could prematurely cause corrosion. Repeat as often as needed for each individual location

Double Glazing, Argon gas, Low E3
VELUX double glazing provides heat insulation, sound insulation, added strength and safety – and protection from the elements.
All VELUX Skylights are Double Glazed, Argon gas filled and Low E3 coated.
Recommendation:
When installing VELUX skylights 3m or higher above floor level, laminated double glazing (standard) must be used to comply with Australian Standard AS1288 (ie sloped overhead glazing must be laminated glass).
High Performance Double Glazing
5.36mm Laminated inner panes for added safety.
9mm Argon filled cavity for thermal insulation
Double layer of Low-E3 coating increases thermal performance and reduces UV rays
In simulated tests VELUX Skylights withstood cricket ball sized hailstones at speeds experienced during heavy storms.
NEAT™ Photocatalytic Coating
Silicone Dioxide/Titanium Dioxide coating reacts with the sun’s UV rays to decompose surface organic dirt before rinsing away with the next shower of rain, thereby reducing cleaning frequency.
The coating also makes the glass surface smoother, so water disperses evenly, sheets off and evaporates quickly, thereby minimising water spotting on the pane.
