Operation and ventilation control
The top control bar is the key to this window's flexibility. You can open it to a ventilation position to allow fresh air into the room whilst keeping the window closed, which is particularly useful in poor weather or for security. The 180-degree rotation capability means you can safely clean the external glass from inside your home without needing external access or specialist equipment. This is especially valuable for roof windows where external cleaning would otherwise be difficult or dangerous.
- Top control bar opens to ventilation position for fresh air without full opening
- Rotate 180 degrees for complete internal access to outer glass
- Operate easily even with furniture positioned directly underneath
- Removable filter can be cleaned regularly to maintain ventilation efficiency
Compatibility and blind installation
The window is supplied with pre-fitted brackets designed to accept VELUX blind systems. Blinds can be quickly and easily installed by simply clicking them into these brackets, with no additional fixings or tools required. This modular approach means you can add or change blinds at any time to suit your needs for light control, privacy, or thermal performance.
- Pre-fitted brackets accept VELUX blind systems
- Blinds click into place without additional fixings
- Can be added or upgraded at any time
Before you buy: sizing and installation
The FK04 size (66x98cm) is a standard VELUX dimension. Confirm that your roof structure and rafter spacing can accommodate this window size before ordering. You will need to check your existing roof construction, flashing requirements, and whether any structural work is needed. Installation should be carried out by a qualified installer to ensure proper weatherproofing and structural integrity. Consider the roof pitch and orientation when planning placement to maximise the benefits of natural light and ventilation.
- Verify roof rafter spacing and structure compatibility with 66x98cm dimensions
- Check roof pitch suitability for centre-pivot operation
- Confirm flashing and weatherproofing requirements for your roof type
- Plan installation by a qualified professional to ensure proper sealing and safety
