Roof window paneling with poplar plywood, by Frank

Description

First replaced 2 old velux skylights for 2 velux GGU skylights, which I then neatly finished with pre-primed plywood. Neatly painted at the end.

Replacing and finishing skylights

For this project I first ordered 2 new skylights from Velux. Here I have chosen the MK04 GGU incl, outside sun blinds. However, during the installation of the windows, I soon found out that the old paneling had to be removed because the old frame was glued. The slots where the paneling would fall into the new frame is 12mm. This is why I chose 12mm plywood for the vertical battens. for the flat battens I opted for 9 mm in order not to have a batten on the ceiling too thick. This looks a bit less clumsy. I had a nice edge milled on the outside with a radius of 4 mm, for a nice finish. After screwing everything neatly filled, sanded and painted.
