Who this product is for
The GGL SK10 2070 suits homeowners and builders installing roof windows in pitched-roof properties, loft conversions, and attic spaces. It is ideal where floor space is limited and you need to position furniture under the window. The manual operation makes it suitable for locations where electric operation is unnecessary, and the top control bar design works well in rooms where you want an excellent view whilst seated or standing.
- Loft conversions and attic rooms with limited floor space
- Properties where furniture placement directly under the window is required
- Installations where manual operation is preferred over electric controls
- Rooms where low-position installation improves sightlines
What is included and key features

The package includes a removable and cleanable ventilation filter to protect against dust and insects during ventilation. Pre-fitted brackets are supplied to allow quick and easy installation of compatible VELUX blinds. The white painted finish provides a clean, neutral appearance suitable for most interior schemes.

Operation and ventilation
The top control bar operates in two modes. Push it to the ventilation position to allow fresh air circulation through a closed window, ideal for background ventilation without full opening. Pull the control bar fully to open the window completely. The centre-pivot design allows the entire window to rotate 180 degrees, enabling safe cleaning of the outer glass surface from inside without external access equipment. This feature is particularly valuable for high-level installations and reduces safety risks during maintenance.
- Top control bar for ventilation without full opening
- 180-degree rotation for safe external glass cleaning from inside
- Operates smoothly even with furniture positioned underneath
- Manual operation requires no electrical connection
Pre-installation checks and compatibility
Confirm that your roof opening measures 114 x 160 cm to accommodate this window size. Verify that the roof pitch and structure are suitable for centre-pivot installation and that adequate headroom exists above the window for the control bar operation. Check that the surrounding roof structure is sound and properly insulated. Ensure you have access to compatible VELUX flashing kits designed for your specific roof covering type (slate, tile, or metal). The pre-fitted blind brackets mean you can add compatible VELUX blinds immediately after installation without additional fixings.
