Velux GGL Centre Pivot Pine Roof Window
Overview
The VELUX GGL Centre Pivot Pine Roof Window is a timeless classic designed for effortless operation,
exceptional daylight, and natural ventilation. Built from high-quality pine and finished with a
clear lacquer, it brings a warm, natural look that complements any interior style — from traditional
loft conversions to modern extensions.
Design & Operation
The centre-pivot design allows the window to rotate smoothly on its central axis, making it
easy to open, close, and clean. Even when furniture is placed directly beneath, you can still
operate it comfortably thanks to the convenient top control bar. This intelligent mechanism
ensures practical use in rooms of all sizes and roof heights.
Glazing Options
The GGL is available with two high-performance glazing options to match your specific needs.
The 3070 glazing features double glazing, offering excellent
insulation and energy efficiency at an attractive price. The 3066 glazing
provides triple glazing for superior thermal performance and sound reduction —
ideal for energy-conscious homeowners or properties in busy, noisy areas.
Natural Pine Finish
Crafted from premium pine sourced from sustainable forests, this window’s natural finish adds
warmth and character to your room. The clear lacquer protects the timber from moisture and dirt,
ensuring durability and easy maintenance. It’s an excellent choice for living rooms, bedrooms,
or any space where you want to highlight the beauty of real wood.
Performance & Comfort
Both glazing types provide outstanding energy efficiency, noise reduction, and UV protection.
The centre-pivot system allows for controlled ventilation — even when the window is closed —
through the integrated air filter and vent flap. Combined, these features create a comfortable,
well-lit environment all year round.
Installation & Compatibility
The GGL Pine Roof Window is available in a range of standard sizes and is compatible with a
variety of VELUX flashing kits to suit different roofing materials. Whether installing in
a new roof or upgrading an existing window, this model ensures a perfect fit and reliable
performance for decades to come.
Why Choose the GGL?
If you value simplicity, practicality, and the timeless charm of real wood, the GGL Centre
Pivot Pine Roof Window is a perfect fit. The option to configure with either 3070 double
glazing or 3066 triple glazing lets you tailor performance to your priorities — whether
that’s energy savings, comfort, or sound insulation.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the 3070 and 3066 glazing options?
The 3070 glazing is a double-glazed unit that balances insulation and value,
making it an excellent all-round choice. The 3066 glazing is triple-glazed,
offering enhanced thermal performance, lower heat loss, and better noise reduction — perfect
for homes in colder or urban environments.
Can I install the VELUX GGL in an existing roof?
Yes, the GGL Centre Pivot Pine Roof Window can be installed in both new and existing roofs.
Just make sure to select the appropriate flashing kit for your roof type and pitch, and
inform your installer of your glazing choice (3070 or 3066) so they can account for any
difference in window weight and thermal performance.
How do I clean and maintain the pine finish?
To keep your GGL window looking its best, wipe the glass and frame regularly with a soft cloth
and mild detergent. The pine frame can be re-lacquered or painted as needed to match your décor
and to maintain its protective coating. The rotating centre-pivot design also makes it simple
to clean the external glass from inside your home.
