Is it possible to install a Velux window like this in a timber-clad, timber frame vertical wall?

It is possible but wouldn't it be better just getting a normal window for this?

Probably, yes. But I have a recent Velux already, in a bit of roof that will be replaced with an extension to a dormer. I may well use a normal window. I just wanted to ascertain if it was possible to use this.

Yes very possible, and assuming you have centre pivot easy to clean glass

No sure if a Bonkers or Desperate badge should be given, but I'd look forward to the finished images.

You'll need to knock up a cill, and if you can't set the frame back enough, something over the head.

If you use edl type flashing it should work. It is a bit strange refitting the sash vertically but can be done
