VELUX roof windows are an energy-efficient way to bring natural light and fresh air into your home. They are designed for in-reach applications in rooms with sloped walls, such as bonus rooms, lofts, upper floor bedrooms, and attic spaces. The ventilation flap can be pulled down to allow fresh air into your home without opening the entire roof window or having to worry about security or bad weather, even while you are away or sleeping.
Top hinged roof windows open to a maximum of 45° to allow access to the outdoors, the sash can be rotated 180° to clean the outer pane, and they require a roof pitch between 15-55°
Roof access windows are side-hung, open to a maximum of 90° to provide easy roof access for repairs, maintenance, or during an emergency, and they require a roof pitch between 15-85°
GPU sizes MK06, MK08, PK10, SK06, UK08 and GXU size FK06 are large enough to meet egress requirements for emergency escape
Roof access window can be installed as a left-hinged or right-hinged, and locking device keeps sash in open position
VELUX "Clean, Quiet and Safe" Low-E3 laminated glass has a Neat glass coating that keeps your skylight cleaner, reduces unwanted outside noise, and comes with a 10-year hail warranty against glass breakage
White polyurethane finish gives the interior frame a clean, moisture-resistant finish that blends into most ceilings
Insect screen (sold separately) is available through special order at the Millwork desk

Amazing roof window with two 3 opening options
This large egress roof window tilts up from top hinge, pivots on center or can be left with just the ventilation flap open. The instructions are difficult to follow- we had trouble removing the sash to lighten this very heavy skylight and just installed it in one piece. And it is very easy to mangle the aluminum sash trim at the center pivot point if opened prior to installation, so remove the lower two sash side trim pieces first (they pop out easily) and reinstall them when everything is complete by unlocking top bar and pivoting sash at center. We replaced a 30 year old Velux of the same size but the drywall opening is smaller so interior sheetrock will have to be redone

VELUX roof windows do have a true top & bottom and require a specific installation orientation and roof pitch to function properly. Combined with our designated flashing kit, this will provide you with leak free enjoyment of this model. If you have questions about your project and need assistance, please do not hesitate in contacting VELUX directly.

This is a solidly built window. We love that we can open it like a door to access the roof. Although the recent we bought it was to be able to open the window to use a telescope for the night skies. What would make it even more perfect is if they made the hinges a little more flexible to open it and lie flat. Also, I wish it came with a screen.

Heavy sash but quality built. Velux installation videos helpfull but could not find one with shingle installation. Instructions confusing, helps to read and look at flashing kit parts several times. I think it will be a great window with many years of service. Definitely separate sash from frame to install.
