Velux roof windows

[noseall]

Longitudinal positioning is always relative to tile coursing (as Cat said) i.e. 2, 3, 4, courses up and so on.

Lateral positioning is a bit more tricky in that they have to be positioned between rafters or trimmed out openings.

In your case maybe..

I'd love to see how Data would position a series of 550mm (wide) Veluxes in a standard 600mm spaced truss rafter roof and be able to tile them in without slithers. Luck maybe. But if a slither occurs and no wriggle room?
Prey tell.

Head height should be within reach if top hung.

Preferably yes.

BTW I build my own roofs and tile them in.

jack of al trades? i have seen your verge pointing... mwhaaa!

What, you think you can build a roof, trimmers and all and build it so that a series of Velux window

The op question was does he just plonk them anywhere he wants. Instructions state work out positions up and down the rafter length not just as side ways

Nose those 550mm wide velux windows where made for a specific market ie truss roof's, so bringing those into the equation is not really relevant to people having extensions
built when most of them will be cut roof's.
Some times you are left with little choice but if you don't want it to look like a dogs dinner then some consideration is required.

Looks ok for a bricky but if you don't want your
aprons to stick out beyond the bottom of your tiles
you need to leave more of a gap between the bottom row
of tiles and the frame 80mm for those tiles and that
flashing kit.

550mm wide Velux roof windows can be used on house extensions whether trusses or traditional timber roof construction
