The Velux Centre Pivot Roof Window (GGU MK06 0070) is designed for homeowners seeking a stylish, low-maintenance solution for natural light and ventilation, especially in humid environments. Its primary benefit is the easy-to-clean, durable polyurethane finish and a centre-pivot design that allows for operation even with furniture beneath.

FAQs

What are the exact dimensions of the Velux GGU MK06 0070 window?

The dimensions of this window are 780mm in width and 1178mm in height.

Is this window suitable for a bathroom?

Yes, the durable, moisture-resistant polyurethane coating makes it ideal for humid environments like bathrooms and kitchens.

How do I clean the outside of the window?

You can easily clean the outside glass by rotating the window 180 degrees from the inside using the top control bar. This brings the outer surface within reach for cleaning.

What is the benefit of the centre-pivot design?

The centre-pivot design allows the window to be opened even if furniture is placed directly beneath it. It also facilitates easy cleaning of the outer glass from the inside.

Does the window come with flashing?

No, flashing kits are sold separately and must be chosen based on your specific roofing material to ensure proper installation and weatherproofing.

What kind of maintenance does the window require?

The window is designed to be maintenance-free due to its durable polyurethane finish. Occasional cleaning with a damp cloth is sufficient.

Can I install this window myself?

While possible, professional installation by a certified VELUX installer is highly recommended to ensure correct fitting, weatherproofing, and to maintain warranty validity.

Troubleshooting

Window is difficult to open or close.

Ensure the control bar is fully disengaged. Check for any obstructions along the opening mechanism. If the issue persists, the mechanism may require professional adjustment.

Drafts or leaks around the window frame.

Verify that the correct VELUX flashing kit was used and installed according to the manufacturer's instructions. Check for any damage to the flashing or seals. Professional inspection and repair may be necessary.

Condensation on the glass.

Some condensation is normal, especially in high humidity. Ensure adequate ventilation in the room. If condensation is excessive between panes, the seal may be compromised, and the insulated glass unit may need replacement.

Window does not rotate for cleaning.

Ensure the window is fully closed before attempting to rotate. Check that the locking mechanism for the rotation is disengaged. If it still does not rotate, there might be an internal obstruction requiring professional attention.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Maintenance-free and highly durable polyurethane finish.
  • Convenient centre-pivot operation allows for easy cleaning and furniture placement.
  • Improved insulation and sound reduction for a comfortable living space.
  • Moisture-resistant, making it suitable for kitchens and bathrooms.
  • Sleek, modern aesthetic complements contemporary home designs.

Cons

  • Specific dimensions (780 x 1178mm) may not fit all openings.
  • Top-operation might require reaching, depending on window height.
  • Requires professional installation for optimal performance and safety.
  • Polyurethane finish, while durable, may show scratches over time.
  • Centre-pivot design means the bottom edge swings inwards, potentially limiting space directly below when open.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Installation requires professional expertise to ensure a watertight seal and secure fitting within the roof structure. It is designed to fit standard roof pitches. Please consult the VELUX installation manual or a certified installer for detailed instructions specific to your roof type.

Compatibility: This window (GGU MK06 0070) is designed for pitched roofs. Ensure the dimensions (780 x 1178mm) are suitable for your intended opening. It is compatible with various VELUX flashing kits, which must be chosen based on your roofing material (e.g., tiles, slate, shingles) to ensure proper integration and weatherproofing.

Care: The exterior and interior surfaces are maintenance-free thanks to the durable polyurethane finish. Clean the window using a soft, damp cloth and mild detergent if necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents. To clean the outer pane, rotate the window 180 degrees using the handles, securing it in the cleaning position. Wipe the glass with a clean, soft cloth.
