Product Information

Full details

The VELUX Top Hung Roof Window (GPL MK06 2070) is an ideal solution for homeowners and renovators looking to maximize natural light and panoramic views in loft spaces, attics, or upper-floor rooms. Its primary benefit is the top-hung operation, which allows the window to open outward for an unobstructed connection to the outdoors, though it requires a roof pitch between 15 and 55 degrees for proper installation. The unit features a durable white finish and advanced glazing, making it a reliable, energy-efficient choice for modern home interiors.

FAQs

What is the primary difference between top-hung and center-pivot windows?

Top-hung windows open outward from the top, providing a full, unobstructed view, whereas center-pivot windows rotate around a central axis.

Can I install this window on a flat roof?

No, this model is designed for pitched roofs between 15° and 55°. Flat roof installations require specialized VELUX flat roof solutions.

Does this window come with a blackout blind included?

No, blinds are sold separately. However, this window is fully compatible with the full range of VELUX internal and external blinds.

Is the white finish painted or a veneer?

It is a high-quality white finish achieved through a water-based lacquer and protective paint system designed for durability.

What should I do if I have a roof pitch outside of the 15-55 degree range?

Consult with a professional installer. Installations outside these specified pitches may require special flashing or may not be possible with this specific model.

Is the glazing safe for high windows?

Yes, the window comes with safety lamination and toughened glass to ensure safety in the event of impact.

Troubleshooting

Window feels difficult to open or close

Check the friction hinges for any debris or obstructions and ensure the frame has not shifted. Lubricate the hinge mechanisms if needed.

Visible condensation on the inner pane

Condensation is often a sign of high indoor humidity. Increase room ventilation by opening the window's ventilation flap or using a dehumidifier.

Care Instructions:
