3-pane Velux in a loft conversion
Are there any structural issues to consider when having a wider than average Velux window fitted in my loft? Ideally, I'd like a 3-pane version.
Expert Trade Answers
"Hi, it really all depends on the width of the roof light. If it is to wide to fit between the existing rafters then it will need a trimmer to the next rafter then trimmed again to reduce the opening to the correct width to suit the new window.
