Taff Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 Ok! Sips have installed the roof panels this week. We asked for a window in the roof so architect planned and created. The hole is 700x1000. Just browsing through velux and other companies and low and behold this isn’t even a standard size for heavens sake ? anyone any ideas please ?

SuperJohnG Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 Phone your architect and ask him what he was doing?. Surely smaller one available to fit the space? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProDave Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 660 by 980 is a standard size which would be about right, and would allow you to box in the reveal at top and bottom a bit of an angle https://www.sterlingbuild.co.uk/category/centre-pivot-roof-windows?filter514=66 x 98cm&page=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like door openings, you can always pack them to make them a little smaller, but if you need to make them larger that is another matter altogether. My openings were made oversize by a bit more and I just filled the gaps with some solid insulation to bring them down to size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
