The Country’s leading Rooflight company.

The mechanics behind the design make Velux world class from their standard M04 roof window to their amazing roof terraces and cabrio balcony systems.

Every loft (unless over 7m high) has to have a window from the front of the house as a means of escape, the code Velux use is called an GGL-M08.
The first part “GGL“ is the code in which velux know what family of window you are wanting to buy.
The second part “M08” is the size of the window you are looking for. 

To help here is a list of codes from Velux, the second part are the sizes.

M08 780mm x 1400mm (Fire escape) this window has to be top hung and not centre hung as this is the emergency window.

C02 550mm x 780mm This size is perfect for over the staircase. The first dimension given is the width of the window and the second is the length.

C04 550mm x 980mm This window is slightly longer by 20mm and is the same width as the C02 (above)

M04 780mm x 980mm This is the best selling Velux window. A good size and comes either top hung or centre hung.

M06 780mm x 1180mm Slightly longer and a bit more expensive than the M04.

S06 1140mm x 1180mm This is a monster of a window. One of the biggest roof lights Velux manufacture.

For the first part of the code you will have to order the Velux brochure and decide what style and finish you want to choose.
