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.
