Question:
Can the central glazing bar be removed?
Answer:
The central glazing bar on the VELUX GCL CC04 2501H Top Hung Heritage Conservation Roof Window is an integral part of the design and thus, it cannot be removed. The bar aids in providing the window's structural stability and also contributes to its classic heritage aesthetic. If you're looking for a window without a central glazing bar, we have other options available in our range. Please use the search function on our site to explore more, or reach out to our customer service team for further assistance.
Question:
I am looking at the large top hung velux conservation roof light 1140 x 1600 It has one flashing option. Mu roof is slates onto boarding will this work?
Answer:
Yes, the VELUX GCL SC10 2501H Top Hung Heritage Conservation Roof Window should be suitable for your slate-on-boarding roof, as long as you use the appropriate VELUX conservation flashing. The window is designed for slate roofs and is meant to sit nearly flush with the roof covering to maintain a traditional aesthetic. For installation, the window can be fitted into a roof deck/sarking board construction and slates can be fixed over battens above the boarding as usual. The important factor is to use the correct VELUX Heritage/Conservation flashing kit suitable for your slate thickness and type. Natural slates and most fibre cement slates are generally compatible, but very thick or random-sized slates may need to be confirmed against the flashing specification. If there's only one flashing option available, that's because the Heritage Conservation range uses a dedicated flashing system specially designed for these windows. To provide a definitive answer regarding compatibility, could you provide more details about your slate type (natural slate, fibre cement, reclaimed slate, etc.), slate thickness, and roof pitch?
Question:
The large top hung conservation rooflight says it open up to 150mm. can they open more?
Answer:
I'm sorry for any confusion, but the VELUX GCL SC10 2501H Top Hung Heritage Conservation Roof Window is designed to open to a maximum of approximately 150mm. This is due to its heritage/conservation design and cannot be adjusted to open wider. This is an intentional design feature to maintain the window's structural integrity and ensure its longevity. If you have any other questions or need more information, feel free to ask.
Question:
What is the part number for the pole to open these windows
Answer:
The part number for the standard opening pole for the VELUX GCL CC04 2501H Top Hung Heritage Conservation Roof Window is VELUX ZCT 200K Telescopic Control Rod. This rod extends from 1.0m to 1.8m and is designed to operate out-of-reach manual VELUX roof windows. If the window is installed particularly high, you can use the VELUX ZCT 100 Extension Rod, which is a 1m extension that attaches to the ZCT 200K.

Question:
What’s the difference between the GGL 06 and the GCL 06? I am looking for a conservation windows and can’t see what if different in these.
Answer:
The key difference between the VELUX GGL MK06 and the VELUX GCL MC06 lies in their design and intended use. The VELUX GGL MK06 is a standard centre-pivot roof window with a modern design, typically suitable for most loft conversions and roof window installations. On the other hand, the VELUX GCL MC06 is a conservation or heritage roof window. It is designed specifically for listed buildings and conservation areas. The GCL MC06 features a traditional black centre glazing bar, black external profile, and a more heritage appearance to fit in with the aesthetics of older or protected buildings. Additionally, the GCL model uses special conservation flashings rather than the standard flashings used by the GGL model. You can find more information about these products on our product pages: VELUX GGL MK06 and VELUX GCL MC06. You might also find our range brochure helpful, which you can access here. I hope this helps clarify the differences. If you have any more questions, please don't hesitate to ask.
Question:
Is there a wired remote control option for this window?
Answer:
I'm sorry, but the VELUX GCL FC06 2501H Top Hung Heritage Conservation Roof Window is a manual operation window and does not come with a remote control option. If you're interested in a remote-controlled window, we do offer other windows with this feature. I would recommend using the search function on our website to find these options, or you can contact our customer service team for assistance.
Question:
Can this window be opened electronically with a switch and linked to a fire detection system
Answer:
The VELUX GCL CC04 2501H Top Hung Heritage Conservation Roof Window is manually operated and does not have the option for electronic operation. It cannot be linked to a fire detection system. If you're interested in windows with electronic operation, we do have a range of other VELUX windows available. Please use our website search function to find the right product that fits your requirements, or contact our customer service for further assistance.
Question:
How much does this rooflight weigh
Answer:
The VELUX GCL MC06 2501H Top Hung Heritage Conservation Roof Window has an estimated weight of around 45–50 kg. This is a common estimate for a top-hung, double-glazed timber roof window of this size, with the Heritage model being at the upper end of that range. However, we recommend confirming the exact weight with VELUX directly to ensure accuracy.
Question:
Can this window be opened fully in an emergency if this was used in a loft bedroom?
Answer:
While the VELUX GCL CC04 2501H Top Hung Heritage Conservation Roof Window does open outwards for ventilation, it's important to note that it cannot be opened fully enough to serve as an emergency escape window for a loft bedroom. This model does not satisfy the UK fire-egress requirements.
Question:
What is the code number for the insulation collar that fits the Heritage conservation roof window size 55cm x 98cm? Thank you
Answer:
I'm sorry, but the specific code for the insulation collar that fits the VELUX GCL CC04 2501H Top Hung Heritage Conservation Roof Window - 55 x 98cm isn't listed in the information we have available. I would recommend reaching out to our technical team, who may have more detailed information, or contacting VELUX directly. They should be able to provide the specific code for the insulation collar you need.
Question:
Hello, What material is the heritage conservation roof window made from? Is it Aluminium on the outside and wood on the inside? What flashing kit do I need for a size 55x98cm roof window to include BDX insulation collar and BFX underfelt collar? Thank you
Answer:
The VELUX GCL CC04 2501H Top Hung Heritage Conservation Roof Window is indeed made with a high-quality white painted, wooden frame on the inside. For the exterior, VELUX typically uses a protective aluminium cladding to ensure durability and longevity. For a window of size 55x98cm, you would typically need a flashing kit that corresponds to the size of your window. The flashing kit ensures a tight and secure fit of the window into the roof structure, creating a weathertight seal. Both the BDX insulation collar and BFX underfelt collar are designed for use with VELUX roof windows, and should fit this model. The BDX insulation collar helps to increase the energy efficiency of your installation, while the BFX underfelt collar ensures a weathertight seal. However, I recommend checking with the supplier or our technical team to ensure that the specific flashing kit, BDX insulation collar, and BFX underfelt collar are compatible with the VELUX GCL CC04 2501H Top Hung Heritage Conservation Roof Window. To learn more about the product, you may refer to our Range Brochure.
