VELUX Centre-Pivot Roof Windows White Painted 94x140cm GGL PK08 2070Q
Typical applications and installation
This roof window is designed for pitched roof installations in loft conversions, attic bedrooms, home offices, and upper-floor living spaces. The 94x140cm size (PK08) suits standard UK roof pitches and rafter spacings. Installation must be carried out by a qualified installer to ensure proper flashing, weatherproofing, and structural integrity. The window requires adequate roof space and clear access from inside for the centre-pivot operation. Ensure the installation complies with Building Regulations for ventilation, emergency egress, and thermal performance.
- Loft conversions and attic rooms requiring natural light and security
- Properties where internal access for window cleaning is preferred
- Ground-floor roof windows or properties in higher-risk areas
- Spaces requiring controlled ventilation without full window opening
Operating and ventilation
The top-operated control bar allows intuitive opening and closing, even when furniture is positioned beneath the window. The ventilation position opens the top control bar to permit fresh air circulation through a closed window, ideal for maintaining air quality without security compromise. The removable and cleanable ventilation filter protects your home from dust and insects during ventilation. Rotate the window 180 degrees for safe cleaning of the outer glass from inside without requiring external scaffolding or ladders.
- Use the top control bar to open, close, and set ventilation position
- Clean the removable ventilation filter regularly to maintain airflow
- Rotate 180 degrees for safe external glass cleaning from indoors
- Ensure furniture placement does not obstruct the opening mechanism
Security and glazing features
The window incorporates integrated frame locks and extra strong hinges to resist forced entry. The laminated internal glazing and toughened external glazing work together to reinforce the window against breakage and impact. These features provide enhanced protection against burglary and accidental damage. The 2-layer glazing also reduces heat loss, improving thermal efficiency and indoor comfort in converted spaces.
