Sizing and compatibility
The UK08 size (134x140cm) is a standard VELUX roof window dimension. Before purchasing, measure your roof opening carefully to ensure it matches this specification. The window is designed to fit into a prepared roof aperture of the correct size. Check that your roof structure can accommodate a centre-pivot window and that the installation location allows for the full 180-degree rotation needed for cleaning. Verify that your roof pitch and construction are suitable for VELUX installation by consulting the technical specifications or contacting your installer.
- Dimensions: 134cm wide x 140cm tall
- Suitable for standard UK roof pitches
- Requires prepared roof opening of matching size
- Allow clearance for full 180-degree rotation
- Check roof structure can support window weight and operation
Pre-installation checks
Before installation, inspect the window for any damage in transit and ensure all components are present. Check that your roof opening dimensions precisely match the UK08 specification. Verify that the surrounding roof structure is sound and that any existing flashing or weatherproofing will be properly sealed during installation. Confirm that the installation location allows safe access for both fitting and future maintenance. If you are not experienced in roof window installation, we recommend using a qualified installer to ensure proper sealing and safety compliance.

Operation and maintenance
The top control bar is your main operating mechanism. Open it to the ventilation position for fresh air without fully opening the window, or continue opening for full access. The centre-pivot design means you can rotate the window 180 degrees for safe cleaning of the exterior glass 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. Blinds can be attached quickly to the pre-fitted brackets without additional fixings.
