FAQs

What is the primary purpose of the conservation styling?

The conservation styling is designed to match the aesthetic requirements of traditional or historic buildings, ensuring that modern roof windows can be integrated without compromising the architectural character.

Can this window be installed on any roof type?

This window is suitable for installation on roof pitches between 15° and 90°. Specific VELUX flashing kits are required, tailored to your roofing material (e.g., tiles, slate).

How do I operate the window when it's installed high up?

The centre-pivot operation allows you to push the top of the window sash inwards. For higher installations, an operating pole (sold separately) can be used to open and close the window.

Are blinds included with the window?

No, blinds are not included with the window. A range of compatible internal blinds for light control and privacy are available to purchase separately from VELUX.

What are the dimensions of this specific model?

The dimensions for the GGL MK08 SD5N2 model are 780mm in width and 1398mm in height.

How do I clean the white painted finish?

The white painted finish can be cleaned using a soft cloth with mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners to maintain the integrity of the finish.

What does the laminated inner pane offer?

The laminated inner pane provides enhanced safety. If the glass were to break, the laminate layer helps hold the pieces together, reducing the risk of injury.

Troubleshooting

Window is difficult to open or close

Check that the sash is not obstructed. Ensure the pivot mechanism is clean and free from debris. If the issue persists, the window may require professional adjustment.

Water ingress around the window

Verify that the correct VELUX flashing kit for your roofing material has been installed correctly and sealed properly. Check for any damage to the flashing or seals. Professional inspection may be required.

Condensation on the glass

Condensation can occur due to high indoor humidity. Ensure adequate ventilation in the room. Open the window regularly to air out the space. Check that ventilation channels are clear.

White paint finish appears discoloured

Clean the surface with a mild detergent and water. Avoid harsh chemicals. If discolouration is significant or due to damage, consult the manufacturer's guidelines for touch-up or repainting.

Cons

  • May require professional installation due to complexity.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: Installation requires careful attention to detail, especially regarding sealing and flashing to ensure weatherproofing. It is recommended to use VELUX's specific flashing kits designed for your roofing material (e.g., tiles, slate, metal). The centre-pivot mechanism requires a clear space for the sash to open inwards. Always follow the manufacturer's detailed installation manual.

Compatibility: This window is compatible with a range of VELUX internal blinds and shutters, including blackout blinds, roller blinds, and Venetian blinds, which are available separately. Ensure you select blinds specifically designed for centre-pivot conservation roof windows of the GGL MK08 size.

Care: The white painted timber exterior is designed for low maintenance. Clean the exterior frame and glass periodically with mild soap and water using a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners. The interior white painted finish can be wiped clean with a damp cloth. Ensure ventilation slots are kept clear of debris. Periodically check and clean the pivot mechanism and the area around the frame to ensure smooth operation and prevent moisture buildup.
