VELUX Centre-Pivot Roof Windows White Painted 55x118cm GGL CK06 2070
What this product is and who it's for
This is a top-operated centre-pivot roof window from VELUX's GGL range. The centre-pivot design allows the window to rotate 180 degrees, making external glass cleaning safe and straightforward from inside your home. The top control bar operation means you can install the window lower than traditional models, giving excellent sightlines whether standing or seated. It's ideal for bedrooms, living spaces, and any room where you want natural light without losing usable wall space below the window.
- Centre-pivot mechanism rotates 180 degrees for easy outer glass cleaning
- Top control bar allows lower installation positions for better views
- Suitable for new builds and retrofit installations in pitched roofs
- White painted finish suits most interior decorating schemes
Sizing and compatibility
The CK06 size is 55x118cm, which is a standard VELUX roof window dimension. Before purchasing, confirm your roof opening matches this size or can be adapted to it. The window is designed for pitched roofs with rafter spacings compatible with standard UK roof construction. Check your roof pitch and rafter layout with your installer or surveyor to ensure proper fit and weatherproofing. The pre-fitted blind brackets mean you can add compatible VELUX blinds without additional fixings.

Glazing and safety features
The window comes with premium glazing as standard. Safety lamination and toughened glass provide impact resistance and security. A built-in UV filter protects furnishings and reduces glare, while the unique rain noise reduction technology minimises sound during heavy rain. A removable and cleanable ventilation filter prevents dust and insects entering while allowing fresh air circulation through the top control bar ventilation position.

Installation and operation
Installation requires proper flashing and weatherproofing around the roof opening – this is essential for preventing leaks and should be carried out by a qualified installer familiar with VELUX products. Once fitted, operation is straightforward: the top control bar opens and closes the window smoothly, and can be positioned for ventilation without fully opening. The 180-degree rotation for cleaning should be done carefully, supporting the window frame during rotation. The removable ventilation filter should be checked and cleaned regularly, particularly in dusty environments or during high pollen seasons.
- Professional installation essential – ensure proper flashing and weatherproofing
- Top control bar operates smoothly – no furniture obstruction needed
- Rotate 180 degrees carefully for external glass cleaning
- Check and clean ventilation filter regularly for optimal airflow
