FAQs

What are the exact dimensions of this window?

The dimensions of the Velux GPL MK08 2070 roof window are 780mm wide by 1398mm high.

Can this window be installed on any roof type?

This window is designed for pitched roofs and is suitable for roof pitches between 15° and 55° (or 55° to 75° with additional springs). It is not suitable for flat roofs.

How do I operate the ventilation feature?

The ventilation is controlled via the top control bar, which can be opened to allow fresh air in even when the window is closed.

Is the safety glazing standard on this model?

Yes, the Velux GPL MK08 2070 comes standard with a laminated inner pane for enhanced safety.

What kind of blinds are compatible with this window?

It is compatible with the full range of Velux internal and external blind systems, including blackout blinds, roller blinds, and Venetian blinds.

How should I clean the white painted finish?

Clean with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher dirt, use mild soap and water, then rinse and dry thoroughly. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.

Does this window come with installation instructions?

While installation guides are typically provided, due to the nature of roof installations, professional fitting by a qualified roofer or installer is strongly recommended for optimal performance and safety.

Troubleshooting

Window is difficult to open or close.

Check that the handle is fully disengaged. Ensure there are no obstructions in the window track or around the operating mechanism. If the issue persists, check if the window frame has shifted or if the mechanism requires lubrication (consult professional if unsure).

Water leakage around the window.

Inspect the flashing and sealing around the window frame. Ensure all connections are secure and that there are no gaps. Damaged seals or improper installation are common causes. Professional inspection and repair may be necessary.

Excessive noise from rain on the glass.

This window includes unique rain noise reduction features. If noise is still problematic, consider adding an external awning or an internal thermal blind, which can help dampen sound.

The window does not stay open at the desired angle.

Ensure the locking mechanism is fully engaged. If the window is used on a very steep pitch (within the supported range), friction might be reduced. Check the gas springs for proper function; if they are weakening, they may need replacement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Installation requires professional expertise to ensure proper sealing and structural integrity. The window is designed for roof pitches between 15° and 55°. For pitches between 55° and 75°, additional springs (sold separately) must be used.

Compatibility: This roof window is compatible with the full range of Velux internal and external blind systems, allowing for customization of light, heat, and privacy. Ensure any chosen accessories are specified for the GPL MK08 model.

Care: Clean the exterior and interior surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the paint finish or glass. The ventilation bar and handle should be kept free of debris to ensure smooth operation. Periodically check the seals for any signs of wear or damage.
