Choose the roof window for the room
Why Choose the VELUX GPL SK06?
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 GPL SK06 Can Suit
- Large attic living rooms
- Premium loft bedrooms
- Studios
- Large mezzanines
- Feature sloped-ceiling spaces
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
Same-size alternative: compare GGL SK06 before ordering. It has the same nominal size and daylight area but a different opening style and pitch range.
Operation and reach
How the GPL SK06 Opens
Bottom handle for top-hung opening up to approximately 45°, plus top control bar for passive ventilation and centre-pivot cleaning position.
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 GPL SK06?
Roof-window flashing is sold separately. Match both the SK06 size code and the actual roof material before ordering.
VELUX FACTORY FLASHING EDW / EDL / EKW
- EDW SK06: 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
PITCH & SPECIAL ROOFS Check Pitch Before the Roof Is Cut
GPL SK06 is specified for 15°–55°. 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.

- Do not cut structural trusses without appropriate design
- Plan the finished height around comfortable in-reach use
- VELUX publishes opening-restriction guidance for roof windows
- Restrictor locks may be required where roof-window height is 1.7m or less, depending on the project and NCC requirements

1. Is VELUX GPL SK06 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 GPL SK06?
For a compatible tile or low-profile corrugated roof, the matching starting point is EDW SK06. 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 GPL SK06?
VELUX lists GPL SK06 at approximately 61.0kg, and the product-sheet footnote states that the weight includes flashing. Plan delivery, lifting and roof access accordingly.
4. What blind fits GPL SK06?
Use the matching FHC SK06 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 GPL when top-hung opening and a clearer outside view are worth the premium. Choose the same-size GGL for simpler centre-pivot operation and the wider 15°–90° roof range.
