Sizing and compatibility
The FK06 size (66x118cm) is a standard VELUX roof window dimension. Confirm your roof opening matches this size before ordering. The window is designed for pitched roofs and requires appropriate flashing and installation kit for your specific roof pitch and covering material. Check that your roof structure can accommodate a centre-pivot window and that the lower installation position suits your room layout and furniture arrangement.
- Measure your roof opening carefully – 66x118cm is a fixed size
- Suitable for pitched roofs only
- Requires compatible flashing kit for your roof type
- Lower positioning means check headroom and sightlines from seated position
Pre-installation checks
Before purchasing, verify that your roof opening dimensions match exactly. Inspect the roof structure for any rot, damp, or structural issues that must be resolved before installation. Ensure you have the correct flashing kit for your roof covering (slate, tile, felt, metal, etc.) and roof pitch. The white painted finish is supplied; check this matches your interior décor. Confirm that the lower window position will not be obstructed by roof furniture, aerials, or neighbouring structures.
- Measure roof opening – no adjustment possible for this fixed size
- Check roof structure condition and repair any damage first
- Order correct flashing kit for your roof material and pitch
- Verify white painted finish suits your interior
- Check for obstructions affecting the lower installation position
Operation and maintenance
The top control bar is your main operating mechanism – open it gently to the ventilation position for air circulation, or fully open for maximum ventilation and the 180-degree cleaning rotation. The removable ventilation filter should be checked regularly and cleaned or replaced as needed to maintain airflow and protect against dust and insects. The glazing requires only standard window cleaning; the 180-degree rotation makes accessing the outer glass straightforward from inside.
