FAQs

Is this window suitable for a bathroom?

Yes, the maintenance-free, moisture-resistant polyurethane finish makes it ideal for humid rooms like bathrooms and kitchens.

How do I clean the outside of the window?

You can safely clean the exterior glass from the inside by rotating the window 180 degrees using the control bar.

What are the exact dimensions of this window?

The dimensions for this model (GGU CK06 0070) are 550mm wide by 1178mm high.

Does this window come with flashing?

No, the flashing kit is sold separately and must be chosen based on your specific roofing material (e.g., tiles, slates).

Can I paint the window frame?

The polyurethane finish is designed to be maintenance-free and is not intended to be painted. Painting may void the warranty and affect performance.

What is the main advantage of centre-pivot windows?

Centre-pivot windows are easy to operate and clean, and their design allows them to be installed higher up on the roof, enabling ventilation and light even over furniture like sofas or countertops.

What does 'maintenance-free' mean for this window?

'Maintenance-free' refers to the durable polyurethane coating which resists moisture and dirt, eliminating the need for regular repainting or extensive cleaning beyond basic wiping.

Troubleshooting

Window is difficult to open or close.

Check for any obstructions around the control bar or sash. Ensure the locking mechanism is fully disengaged. If the issue persists, professional inspection may be needed.

Water leaks around the window frame.

Verify that the correct Velux flashing kit has been installed and is properly sealed. Inspect the flashing for any damage or blockages in the drainage channels. Professional resealing may be required.

Condensation on the glass.

Some condensation is normal, especially in fluctuating temperatures. Ensure adequate ventilation in the room. If condensation appears between panes, the seal may be compromised, requiring professional attention.

Noise from wind or rain.

While designed for sound reduction, significant noise might indicate issues with the seal or installation. Ensure all locking points are secure. For persistent noise, consult installation guidelines or a professional.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Installation of the Velux GGU CK06 0070 roof window requires professional expertise to ensure proper sealing, structural integrity, and compliance with building regulations. It is designed to be integrated into pitched roofs.

Compatibility: This window is part of the Velux system and is compatible with standard Velux flashing kits for various roof types (e.g., tiles, slates). Always select the appropriate flashing kit for your specific roofing material and profile to ensure a watertight seal.
