Made for Australian Conditions

Bushfire BAL 40 Rating

Bushfires are a harsh reality in Australia. VELUX skylights are BAL 40 rated, having passed intense bushfire simulation tests withstanding 930?C. VELUX filmed the testing process and in the video you can see how fire resistant the windows actually are. See the BAL 40 Bushfire Test Video:

Cyclone Tested

VELUX skylights are so tough they can survive the cyclonic conditions of Australia's tropical north. To test the skylight capabilities, a skylight was secured to a testing bed and sealed up tight. Then came repeated rounds of air and water being pumped from every direction to test the seals and durability of the window?frames. The skylight passed the test successfully. See Cyclone Test Video:

Hail Tested

Under the stringent Hail test, you will see that VELUX skylights?held up to the extreme conditions.?With their toughened safety glass on the outside, even weathered hailstones as big as cricket balls did not break the glass. The toughened double glazing takes anything you throw at it. For an extra layer of protection there is also laminated safety glass on the inside to comply with Australian Standards.
