Product Information

Full details

The Site Standard Centre Pivot Roof Window (1180mm x 1140mm) is designed for homeowners and contractors looking to maximize natural light and ventilation in loft conversions or pitched roof spaces. Its core benefit is superior thermal efficiency, achieved through a built-in vapour barrier and pre-fitted insulation block, though users should note that the large dimensions require careful structural assessment of the roof rafters before installation.

FAQs

Does this window come with flashing?

The flashing kit is typically sold separately to ensure compatibility with your specific roof material, such as tile or slate.

Can I install this on a flat roof?

No, this product is designed for pitched roofs. Installing it on a flat roof would require a specialized curb extension kit.

Is the insulation block removable?

The insulation block is pre-fitted for optimal performance and should not be removed as it forms a critical part of the window's thermal integrity.

What is the glass type?

The unit features high-performance thermal glazing designed to balance light transmission with energy retention.

Can I paint the internal frame?

You can paint the internal timber components using high-quality wood paint, provided you mask off the seals and mechanical hinges.

Troubleshooting

Window does not close smoothly or feels misaligned.

Check the pivot hinges for debris or obstruction and ensure the frame is perfectly square during installation.

Condensation forming on the inside glass surface.

Ensure the room is adequately ventilated and the vapour barrier is correctly sealed to the roof's primary vapour control layer.

Stiff handle mechanism.

Apply a small amount of non-corrosive silicone lubricant to the locking hardware points.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent thermal performance lowers heating energy costs.
  • Pre-fitted insulation simplifies the installation process.
  • Integrated vapour barrier improves long-term building durability.
  • Easy maintenance with internal glass cleaning access.
  • Standardized dimensions make it a versatile fit for common roof structures.

Cons

  • Requires significant structural clearance for the 1180mm width.
  • Heavy unit weight necessitates two-person handling.
  • Not suitable for flat roof applications without a curb kit.
  • Limited to centre-pivot functionality only.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation should be performed by a professional roof carpenter to ensure the integrity of the roof rafters is maintained, especially given the window's 1180mm x 1140mm size. Always use the provided manufacturer instructions to ensure the flashing kit matches your specific roof tile profile. For care, wipe the internal frame with a damp cloth and mild detergent. The glass can be cleaned by rotating the window sash 180 degrees until the safety catch engages, allowing you to wipe the outer pane from within the room.
