FAQs

Is this window suitable for a pitched roof?

Yes, this centre-pivot roof window is designed for pitched roof installations. You will need to ensure you select the correct flashing kit for your specific roofing material and pitch.

How is the window operated?

The window is operated electrically via a remote control or a wired wall switch. This allows for operation even when the window is installed out of reach.

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

It means the polyurethane finish does not require painting or staining and is easy to clean. The electronic components are designed for long-term reliability.

Can I install this window myself?

While basic installation might seem straightforward, the electrical wiring requires connection to your home's power supply. It is highly recommended to have a qualified electrician and installer handle the setup for safety and proper function.

What is the benefit of the centre-pivot design?

The centre-pivot design allows the window to be rotated 180 degrees, making it easy to clean the exterior glass from inside your home. It also allows for furniture to be placed beneath the window without obstructing its opening.

Does the rain sensor require batteries?

No, the rain sensor is powered by the same electrical connection as the window's motor. It does not require separate batteries.

What are the dimensions of this specific model?

This model (GGU CK06 007021U) has dimensions of 550mm wide by 1178mm high.

Troubleshooting

Window does not open or close.

Ensure the window is properly connected to a power source. Check the wall switch for proper operation. Verify that the rain sensor is not obstructed and has not triggered a closure lock.

Rain sensor is not working.

Check if the sensor is clean and free of debris. Ensure it is receiving power. If the issue persists, consult the product manual or a qualified technician.

Window closes unexpectedly.

This is likely due to the rain sensor detecting moisture. Allow the window to dry completely, and it should become operational again. If it happens frequently in dry conditions, check the sensor for sensitivity issues.

Leaking around the window.

This usually indicates an issue with the flashing kit installation. Ensure the correct flashing kit for your roof type was used and installed correctly by a professional.
