How to get your replacement VELUX right...

Unsure on what you're looking for?
We’ll guide the way…
Replacing an existing window?
The best way for you to tell the exact equivalent size to your existing window is by checking the code on the top of the sash. This might say for example “GGL 304 3059”.
GGL Indicates the variant of window, the 304 indicates the size of the window.
The VELUX catalog shows the equivalents to old window codes at the back page, which you can view here.
From looking at this page above, this shows that the current equivalent to a “GGL 304 3059” is now a “GGL MK04 2070”
The differences with VELUX codes
VELUX Use GGL, GGU, GPL & GPU now.
