Compatibility and installation considerations
This centre-pivot window is suitable for pitched roofs and must be installed at an angle matching your roof pitch. The top control bar design means the window can be positioned lower than top-hung alternatives, making it ideal for rooms where you want to maintain sightlines while seated or where furniture placement is important. Ensure your roof structure can accommodate the window opening size and that you have adequate access for safe installation and future maintenance. You will need appropriate roof flashing for your specific roof material and pitch.
- Suitable for pitched roofs only
- Lower installation position possible compared to traditional top-hung windows
- Requires compatible flashing kit for your roof type
- Allows furniture placement directly underneath without obstruction
- Accessible from inside for cleaning and maintenance
Operation and maintenance
The window operates via the top control bar, which can be opened to a ventilation position for fresh air circulation through a closed window, or fully opened for complete access. The 180-degree rotation feature allows you to safely clean the outer glass from inside without external access equipment. The removable ventilation filter should be checked and cleaned regularly to maintain airflow and protect against dust and insects. Blinds can be added quickly by clicking them into the pre-fitted brackets without additional fixings.
- Top control bar: Ventilation position for fresh air without full opening
- 180-degree rotation: Safe external glass cleaning from inside
- Ventilation filter: Remove and clean regularly for optimal performance
- Blind installation: Click into pre-fitted brackets for quick setup
