Step 1 – Open Your VELUX Window
Gently open your roof window so you can access the top edge of the sash (the moving part of the window).
The identification plate is not visible when the window is closed, so you will need to open it slightly to locate it.
Step 2 – Locate the Identification Plate
Once the window is open, look along the top edge of the sash. You’ll see a small metal plate or sticker fixed into the frame.
This plate contains important product details, including:
- Model code
- Size code
- Additional manufacturing information
It’s usually silver, grey, or black with printed text.
Step 3 – Note Down the Window Code
On the plate, you’ll see a combination of letters and numbers.
For example:
- GGL MK04
- GGU CK02
- GPL FK06
The size code (such as MK04, CK02 or FK06) is the most important part when selecting your blind. Make sure you copy it exactly as shown, including any letters.
Once you have this code, you can confidently choose the correct blind size in our calculator.
If you’re unsure or the label is worn or difficult to read, simply take a clear photo of the plate and contact us. We’ll be happy to help you confirm the correct window code before you place your order.

VELUX Blackout Energy Pleated Blind – Darkness and Insulation in One
The VELUX Blackout Energy Pleated Blind is designed to provide high-level blackout while improving thermal comfort inside your home. Featuring a double pleated fabric with an integrated aluminium honeycomb structure, this innovative blind delivers insulation benefits of up to 25% while maintaining excellent light control.
As a genuine VELUX blind, it is engineered specifically for VELUX roof windows, ensuring a seamless fit and smooth operation.

High blackout performance
This makes it ideal for loft conversions, attic bedrooms and rooms with large roof window areas.

Total darkness when fully closed

Greater versatility than standard roller blinds
It is particularly suited to bedrooms, guest rooms and children’s rooms where both insulation and blackout are important.
