The top-hung opening allows the window to open outwards up to 45 degrees, providing an unobstructed view and maximizing interior space as the sash moves away from the room.
This window is suitable for roof pitches between 15° and 55°. For steeper roofs (55° to 75°), special springs need to be ordered separately.
It features a ventilation flap with an integrated dust and insect filter. This allows fresh air to enter the room even when the window is closed, without letting in dust or pests.
The window is constructed from high-quality natural pinewood for the interior, with exterior covers made of lacquered aluminium, copper, or zinc. The glazing includes toughened glass.
The VELUX GPL MK08 3070 features unique rain noise reduction technology to minimize the sound of rainfall, ensuring a quieter interior.
The minimum installation compartment width is 78 cm, and the minimum installation compartment height is 139.8 cm.
Clean the pine interior with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals to maintain the finish.
Ensure there are no obstructions in the opening mechanism. Check that the sash is properly aligned. For stiff operation, check the hinge points for any debris.
Verify that the flashing is correctly installed and sealed. Inspect the seals around the glass and frame for wear or damage. Professional inspection may be required.
Check the filter for blockages and clean it. Ensure the flap mechanism is not obstructed.
Condensation can occur due to high indoor humidity. Ensure adequate ventilation in the room. Check if the window seals are intact to prevent warm, moist air from entering the glazing unit.
Setup: Installation of the VELUX GPL MK08 3070 requires precise measurements and adherence to manufacturer guidelines. It is designed for self-flashed installation, meaning the flashing is integrated into the window unit. Professional installation is highly recommended to ensure a watertight seal and proper structural integration. The window requires a minimum installation compartment of 78 cm width and 139.8 cm height.
Compatibility: This roof window is compatible with roof pitches ranging from 15° to 55°. For pitches between 55° and 75°, specialized springs must be ordered separately. Ensure your roof structure can support the window's dimensions and weight.
Care: The exterior is designed to be maintenance-free, typically featuring lacquered aluminium, copper, or zinc. The interior is made of high-quality pine. To maintain the interior pine finish, occasional cleaning with a damp cloth is recommended. Avoid harsh chemicals. For the glass, standard window cleaning solutions can be used. Periodically check the ventilation flap and filter for any obstructions and clean as needed.
