VELUX Centre-Pivot Roof Windows White Painted 78x118cm GGL MK06 2070
Typical applications and positioning
Install this window in pitched roof applications where you want to maintain clear floor space below. The centre-pivot design and top control bar make it particularly suitable for bedrooms, home offices, and loft conversions where you may place furniture underneath the window. The lower installation position possible with this model gives an excellent view whether standing or seated, making it ideal for spaces where sightlines are important. Ensure the roof pitch and structural opening accommodate the 78x118cm frame size and allow the window to rotate fully without obstruction.
- Bedrooms and guest rooms in loft conversions
- Home offices and studies where desk placement is needed below the window
- Living spaces where furniture arrangement flexibility is required
- Pitched roofs with adequate structural support for the frame weight
Operation and ventilation
The top control bar is your primary operating mechanism. Open it to the ventilation position to allow fresh air circulation through a closed window, useful for background ventilation without fully opening the sash. For full opening, continue operating the control bar to rotate the sash 180 degrees on its centre pivot. This full rotation capability is essential for safe cleaning of the outer glass from inside your home without needing external access equipment. The removable and cleanable ventilation filter should be checked regularly and cleaned to maintain airflow while protecting your home from dust and insects.
- Use ventilation position for fresh air without full opening
- Rotate fully 180 degrees for safe outer glass cleaning from inside
- Check and clean the ventilation filter regularly to maintain performance
- Operate smoothly even with furniture positioned directly underneath
Glazing features and safety
The window comes standard with premium glazing features including safety lamination, toughened glass, and a UV filter. These features provide impact resistance, reduce harmful UV transmission, and contribute to the window's durability. The unique rain noise reduction technology minimises external noise during wet weather, improving comfort in your interior space. These glazing properties are integral to the window and do not require maintenance, though you should keep the glass clean for optimal light transmission and appearance.
