What are the benefits of choosing VELUX roof windows?

There are many advantages and benefits to installing VELUX skylights and roof windows. Perfect for any loft conversion, extension or renovation project, VELUX roof windows are a series of high-quality roof windows made from extremely durable PVC. VELUX skylight windows can be used in both flat and pitched roofs to provide both ventilation and light into the area. One of the most popular window manufacturers and suppliers, VELUX has been providing high-quality windows for over 80 years.

VELUX loft windows and VELUX attic windows are well suited to a variety of applications: retrofitting, new installation in newly built homes, or in loft conversions and extensions.

Roof windows help to let an abundance of light into spaces that aren’t suited to standard vertical windows because of sloping ceilings and other architectural limits, such as lofts, attics and single-story extensions. Allowing natural daylight into the room helps to brighten up the space, make the room appear larger and reduce the need for artificial lighting during the daytime. As well as providing light, VELUX roof windows help with the ventilation of a room, allowing fresh air to circulate and regulating the temperature and humidity.

VELUX windows also boast excellent thermal performance and can help support a home’s insulation and in turn, its energy efficiency. Helping to prevent heat loss and condensation, they’ll keep homes warm in the winter and cool in the summer. You can even choose additional accessories like blinds to enhance your roof windows. Above all, VELUX roof windows are built from the highest quality materials and have excellent durability and longevity. Helping with insulation, ventilation and security, they’re also very easy to install and require minimal maintenance. They also feature an incredible versatile range of styles, colours and sizes.

What VELUX roof window sizes and styles do we have available?

We stock a variety of both small VELUX windows and large VELUX windows, with widths and lengths ranging from 550mm to 1400mm.

Our range of white VELUX windows come in various glazing and operation options and a choice of white painted pine or polyurethane frames. Built with a toughened outer pane and ventilation flap that can be operated whilst the window is closed, white polyurethane VELUX roof windows are ideal for humid rooms like bathrooms and kitchens. Choose between centre pivot roof windows and top hung roof windows depending on your customer’s preference, with both options opening outwards for an unobstructed view. Plus, if you’re after a VELUX window opening pole for easy operation, we stock a VELUX Telescopic Rod too.

If you’re working in a room with limited access to sunlight, you might be looking for VELUX light tunnels for roofs, which can bring light to bathrooms, closets, corridors and hallways or stairs, such as the VELUX Sun Tunnel Roof Light that includes flashing.

Window flashing is an important companion to any roof window as it helps to integrate the window seamlessly into the roof material to ensure a weathertight fit and prevent water from getting inside the home. We’ve got a variety of VELUX window flashing kits including both slate and tile flashing kits such as the VELUX EDW Flashing Kit.
