VELUX Centre-Pivot Roof Windows White Painted 114x118cm GGL SK06 2066
What you're getting and who it's for
This is a premium centre-pivot roof window with top control operation. It suits homeowners and builders who want a roof window that doesn't obstruct furniture placement below, and who value ease of cleaning and ventilation control. The innovative top control bar positions the window lower than traditional models, giving better sightlines whether standing or seated. It's ideal for loft conversions, extensions, and rooms where you want natural light without sacrificing usable floor space.
- Centre-pivot design rotates 180 degrees for interior cleaning of outer glass
- Top control bar for ventilation without fully opening the window
- Suitable for lower installation positions while maintaining good views
- White painted finish for standard interior schemes
Glazing and safety features
The window comes with premium glazing as standard. Safety lamination and toughened glass protect against impact. A UV filter reduces sun damage to furnishings, while the easy-clean coating and anti-dew treatment minimise maintenance. The unique rain noise reduction helps keep the room quiet during wet weather. A removable and cleanable ventilation filter protects your home from dust and insects when the window is open for fresh air.
- Safety lamination and toughened glass
- UV filter, easy-clean coating, and anti-dew treatment included
- Rain noise reduction technology
- Removable ventilation filter for dust and insect protection
Sizing and installation compatibility
The SK06 size (114x118cm) is a standard VELUX dimension that fits most roof pitches and rafter spacings in UK properties. Before ordering, confirm your roof pitch falls within the window's design range and that your rafter spacing accommodates the frame width. You'll need adequate roof structure around the opening for flashing and weatherproofing. Check that your chosen position allows the window to open fully without obstruction from roof furniture, pipes, or other fittings. The pre-fitted click system for blinds means you can add optional shading quickly after installation.
- Confirm roof pitch compatibility before purchase
- Check rafter spacing matches frame width requirements
- Verify clearance for full 180-degree rotation
- Pre-fitted for quick blind attachment if needed
Pre-installation checks and preparation
Inspect the window on delivery for any transport damage to the frame, glass, or control mechanisms. Test the top control bar moves smoothly and the pivot action is free. Ensure you have the correct flashing kit for your roof type and pitch—this is essential for weatherproofing and must be ordered separately if not included. Have your installation tools ready: a spirit level, appropriate fixings for your roof structure, and sealant suitable for roof windows. If you're not experienced with roof work, consider hiring a qualified installer to ensure proper weatherproofing and safe working at height.
- Check for delivery damage to frame, glass, and control bar
