Safety
Skylights are typically installed out of reach, therefore it is assumed that ladders scaolding or other equipment is being used to •
reach elevated places during maintenance and inspection.
Follow all equipment manufacturers’ instructions for safe operation.•
Use fall protection when applicable.•
Know your safe working limits.•
Falls from heights can result in serious injury or death.•
Glass cleaning
For best results avoid cleaning skylight during the hottest part of the day.•
If there are multiple rows of skylights, start at the highest row and work down.•
Begin by soaking the skylight glass with a clean water and soap solution loosening dirt and debris.•
Next use a mild, non-abrasive glass cleaner along with a soft brush or other non-abrasive applicator to clean the glass.•
The cleaning solution should immediately be removed with a squeegee or lint free cloth.•
Use care not to touch any metal parts of the cleaning equipment to the glass or let any abrasive materials be dragged across the •
glass surface.
Do not use metal scrapers, blades or knives for cleaning large areas of glass as this practice can easily scratch and cause •
permanent damage to the skylight glass.
Scratches or damages to the glass as a result of scraping are not covered under any VELUX warranty.•
For hard to remove spots like tree sap, label adhesive, paint or other construction material, a new 1” razor blade may need to be •
used on small spots only.
If a razor blade needs to be used, scrape only in one direction.•
Back and forth scraping can trap abrasive materials under the blade causing scratches and possible permanent damage to the •
glass.
