VELUX Centre-Pivot Roof Windows Pine 94x160cm GGL PK10 3070
What's included and key features
This centre-pivot roof window comes pre-glazed with safety lamination, toughened glass, and a UV filter as standard. The glazing also incorporates unique rain noise reduction technology. The window rotates a full 180 degrees, allowing you to safely clean the outer glass from inside your home. A removable and cleanable ventilation filter is included to protect against dust and insects while allowing fresh air circulation. The top control bar can be opened to a ventilation position, letting fresh air in through a closed window. Pre-fitted brackets are already installed, allowing you to quickly click blinds into place without additional fixings.

Sizing and compatibility
The GGL PK10 measures 94x160cm and is designed to fit standard roof pitches and rafter spacings. Before purchasing, confirm that your roof opening matches these dimensions or can be adapted to them. The pine frame is suitable for most UK roof types, though you should verify that your roof structure can accommodate a centre-pivot window at your desired installation height. The lower installation position made possible by the top control bar means you can position the window to suit your sightlines and furniture layout.
- Window dimensions: 94x160cm
- Pine frame construction
- Centre-pivot mechanism requires adequate headroom above the window
- Confirm roof opening size before ordering
Installation and preparation
Installation of a roof window requires careful measurement and secure fixing to your roof structure. The pine frame must be properly sealed against weather ingress using appropriate flashing and sealants for your roof type. You should ensure the roof opening is square and level before fitting. If you are not experienced in roof work, we recommend using a qualified installer, as improper installation can lead to water ingress and structural issues. The window's top control bar and pivot mechanism should be checked for smooth operation before final sealing.
- Measure roof opening carefully to ensure accurate fit
- Use appropriate flashing kit for your roof covering
- Ensure opening is square and level
- Seal all joints with suitable roof sealant
- Test pivot and control bar operation before final sealing
- Consider professional installation for roof work
Operation and maintenance
The centre-pivot design makes this window straightforward to operate and maintain. The top control bar is your main control point for opening, closing, and ventilation. To clean the outer glass, simply rotate the window 180 degrees and access it safely from inside. The removable ventilation filter should be checked regularly and cleaned or replaced as needed to maintain airflow and protect against dust and insects. The pine frame should be inspected periodically for any signs of weathering or damage, particularly around seals and joints.
- Operate via top control bar
- Rotate 180 degrees for safe outer glass cleaning
- Check and clean ventilation filter regularly
- Inspect seals and joints for wear
- Wipe frame with soft cloth; avoid harsh cleaners on pine
