FAQs

Is this window suitable for a bathroom?

Yes, the Velux GGU roof window features a durable, moisture-resistant polyurethane finish that makes it ideal for high-humidity environments like bathrooms and kitchens.

How do I clean the outside of the window?

The centre-pivot design allows you to rotate the window 180 degrees using the top control bar. This lets you safely clean the outer glass from the inside of your room.

What is the U-value of this window?

The product information provided does not specify the U-value. Please refer to the official Velux technical specifications for detailed thermal performance data.

Can I install this window on any roof type?

This window is designed for roof pitches between 15° and 90°, making it compatible with a wide range of standard roof constructions. Proper flashing for your specific roof material is essential.

What are the exact dimensions of the window?

The dimensions of this Velux roof window are 1340mm in width and 1398mm in height.

Does the window come with blinds?

This window model itself does not include blinds, but it is designed to be compatible with a wide range of Velux internal and external blinds, sold separately.

How do I get fresh air without opening the window fully?

The window features a ventilation bar at the top. Opening this allows fresh air to enter through a closed window, providing ventilation while maintaining security and weather protection.

Troubleshooting

Window is difficult to open or close.

Ensure the control bar is clean and free from debris. Check that no objects are obstructing the window's path. If the issue persists, contact a professional installer.

Condensation on the inside of the window.

Excessive indoor humidity is the most common cause. Ensure adequate ventilation in the room, especially after activities like cooking or showering. Use the ventilation function of the window regularly.

Water leakage around the window.

This usually indicates an issue with the flashing or sealing during installation. Water leakage requires immediate attention from a qualified roofer or Velux installer to prevent further damage.

The window does not rotate fully for cleaning.

Check that the locking mechanism for rotation is fully disengaged. Ensure there are no obstructions preventing the full 180-degree rotation. Re-familiarize yourself with the operating instructions.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent durability and moisture resistance, ideal for demanding environments.
  • Low maintenance requirements due to the smooth, seamless polyurethane finish.
  • Enhanced thermal performance and condensation control with triple glazing.
  • Easy cleaning access, especially for windows installed in hard-to-reach locations.
  • Versatile installation options across a wide range of roof pitches.
  • Customisable light and privacy settings with compatible blind accessories.

Cons

  • Centre-pivot operation requires sufficient clearance above the window for optimal use and cleaning.
  • May not be suitable for very specific aesthetic preferences due to its modern, uniform finish.
  • Requires professional installation for optimal performance and to ensure watertight sealing.
  • The polyurethane finish, while durable, might show scratches more readily than painted wood on impact.
  • The initial cost might be higher compared to standard uPVC or basic timber windows.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Installation of this roof window should be performed by a qualified professional to ensure proper flashing, sealing, and structural integration with your roof. The window is designed for roof pitches between 15° and 90°.

Compatibility: This model is compatible with a wide array of Velux interior blinds (e.g., blackout, Venetian, roller) and exterior blinds or shutters. Ensure you select compatible accessories for your specific window size and type.

Care: The maintenance-free polyurethane finish requires minimal attention. For cleaning, use a soft, damp cloth to wipe down both the interior and exterior surfaces. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents. The exterior glass can be cleaned by rotating the window 180 degrees using the top control bar, allowing access from inside the room.
