VELUX GGL CK04 Centre-Pivot Roof Window 550 × 980mm
The VELUX GGL CK04 is a centre-pivot roof window for in-reach attic, loft, mezzanine and sloped-ceiling rooms.

Why Choose the VELUX GGL CK04?
Roof windows work differently from high-level skylights: they are designed to be within reach, give the room a direct outside view and allow the user to operate and clean the sash from inside.
Rooms GGL CK04 Can Suit
- Attic offices
- Loft bedrooms
- Mezzanines
- Studios
- Narrow sloped-ceiling rooms
Why This Format Works
- Direct outside view rather than overhead daylight only
- Natural ventilation for attic and loft spaces
- Designed for in-reach manual operation
- 180° cleaning position from inside the room
- Matching flashing and blind system by exact CK/MK/SK code
How the GGL CK04 Opens
Top control bar for passive ventilation and centre-pivot opening; the sash rotates up to 180° for inside cleaning.
Designed to Be Within Reach
Plan the finished window height before framing and plastering. The control point should suit the room, furniture layout and intended user.
Roof Window vs Standard Skylight
If the opening will be high or difficult to reach, a standard VS, VSE or VSS skylight may be more practical than an in-reach GGL/GPL roof window.
Which Flashing Should You Use With GGL CK04?
Roof-window flashing is sold separately. Match both the CK04 size code and the actual roof material before ordering.
- EDW CK04: compatible tile and low-profile corrugated roofs
- EDL: suitable slate / shingle applications
- EKW: suitable multiple-window combinations; VELUX specifies 100mm spacing
- Standard EDW is not suitable for wide-span profiles such as TrimDeck or Klip-Lok
GGL CK04 is specified for 15°–90°. For roofs below 15°, VELUX says the roof window needs to be raised to at least 15° and custom flashed after project assessment.
If the roof is TrimDeck, Klip-Lok or another non-standard profile, send roof photos before ordering flashing.

1. Is VELUX GGL CK04 designed to be within reach?
Yes. GGL and GPL roof windows are designed for in-reach attic, loft and sloped-ceiling applications. For high/out-of-reach positions, compare standard manual, electric or solar skylights.
2. What flashing do I need for GGL CK04?
For a compatible tile or low-profile corrugated roof, the matching starting point is EDW CK04. Slate/shingle may require EDL; multiple-window layouts may use EKW; TrimDeck/Klip-Lok and special situations need different flashing advice.
3. How heavy is GGL CK04?
VELUX lists GGL CK04 at approximately 27.4kg, and the product-sheet footnote states that the weight includes flashing. Plan delivery, lifting and roof access accordingly.
4. What blind fits GGL CK04?
Use the matching FHC CK04 manual honeycomb blind. For older roof windows, check the VELUX data plate because newer accessories may not fit earlier generations.
5. Should I choose GGL or GPL?
Choose GGL for practical centre-pivot operation, top-bar control and the wider 15°–90° roof range. Choose the same-size GPL when top-hung opening and a clearer outside view are worth the premium and the roof is within 15°–55°.
Compare GGL CK04 With Nearby Roof Windows
Compare opening style, frame size, daylight area, roof-pitch range and weight before the roof opening and flashing are committed.
