VELUX Centre-Pivot Roof Windows White Painted 55x78cm GGL CK02 2062

What this window is for and who should buy it

This roof window is ideal for anyone seeking improved sound insulation in bedrooms, home offices, or other quiet spaces. It suits properties affected by external noise such as traffic, aircraft, or neighbouring activity. The top-operated mechanism makes it particularly suitable for rooms where you may place furniture or beds directly under the window, as you retain full functionality without obstruction. If you value easy maintenance and prefer to clean external glass from inside, the 180-degree rotation feature is a significant advantage.

Sizing and compatibility

This window is sized CK02, measuring 55x78cm. Before purchase, confirm that your roof opening matches these dimensions exactly. The window is designed for pitched roofs and requires a suitable roof structure capable of supporting a centre-pivot roof window installation. Check your existing roof pitch and construction type with your surveyor or installer if you are uncertain. The white painted finish suits most interior colour schemes and complements modern décor.

What is included and key features

  • Centre-pivot mechanism with top control bar for easy operation
  • Special sound-insulating glazing and extra sound insulation layer
  • 180-degree rotation for safe internal cleaning of outer glass
  • Removable and cleanable ventilation filter to protect against dust and insects
  • Pre-fitted brackets for quick and easy blind installation
  • White painted finish
  • Option to upgrade with remote-controlled mains or solar-powered motor (purchased separately)

Pre-installation checks and preparation

Before ordering, measure your roof opening carefully to confirm it matches the CK02 size of 55x78cm. Inspect the roof structure around the opening to ensure it is sound and free from rot or damage. Check that your roof pitch falls within the manufacturer's recommended range for this window type. Ensure you have adequate headroom and access for installation work. If you plan to add blinds, note that pre-fitted brackets are already in place, so you simply click your chosen blind into position. If you wish to add a motor for remote operation, plan this before installation so wiring can be incorporated into the build.
