Window in roof

[Taff]

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 ?

Phone your architect and ask him what he was doing?. Surely smaller one available to fit the space?

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

So this is the right size hole for this window size

Yes.  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.
