Roof Skylights
August 4th, 2006
A consistently popular VELUX® skylight window is the centre pivoting GGL and GGU range.
This design marked the Velux® story and it remains one of the most versatile roof windows available today.Pivoting windows are ideal for windows above head height, closer to the roof top.
The skylight has a straight-forward design that requiring a smaller opening in a roof structure than a dormer. An advantage of skylights over dormers is that an angled window area directly facing the sky allows significantly greater light.
The window design allows easy cleaning and room use below the window.
Wood or White Polyurethane Finish
The GGU is the White Polyurethane Finish version of the same window. The GGU window has moulded polyurethane around a timber core, with a white varnish finish. This window is an ideal choice for humid environments such as bathrooms and kitchens where the EVERfinish makes them totally water resistant.
Window Ventilation
Ventilation is easy to adjust even when the window is closed, any condensation that may collect can drain away via drainage chanels leading outside.
These roof skylights are perfect for playrooms too. A simple wipe with a damp cloth will have windows looking clean again, and there are no hard to reach corners either. They can take some tough treatment too.
The GGL and GGU Skylight will rotate 180 degrees to allow cleaning of the exterior pane from inside. A built-in barrel bolt secures the window to leave your hands free.
Ideal Roof Window
Whenever daylight is needed, this skylight floods light into a room, when darkness is required the shutters or Siesta blinds can be drawn. This makes it an ideal window for a lofts, attics and roofs.
The Roof System
The VELUX® GGL is available in sizes up to U08 (134 x 140cm). Each size has a smooth and easy operation that holds the opened window firmly in position.
Window ventilation is adjusted using the ergonomically improved control bar. A short pull opens the vent. A longer pull opens the whole window which can then be secured using the integral barrel bolt. A fly screen prevents insects entering your loft room.
