Roof Windows for Healthy Homes

VELUX windows help to create healthy indoor environments all over the UK and beyond by letting in fresh air and daylight. To find your perfect window, you’ll need to consider how many windows you need and which size to best capitalise on natural daylight and venitlation.

7-Steps to the Perfect VELUX Window Order

1. Identify your roof pitch: VELUX Windows can be installed in flat roofs from 0 to 15 degree pitch and pitched roofs from 10 to 90 degree pitch, but different window types are better suited to diferent pitches. Identify your roof pitch and give one of our trained VELUX experts a call to discuss which window options are best suited for your project.
2. Maximise Daylight: We recommend that the glazed areas in your roof, represent at least 20% of the overall floor space to deliver optimal daylight to your home.
3. What Glazing Do You Require? Choose the right glazing option for you, depending on your specific needs, from extra noise reduction to reduce external street noise, to triple-glazing for super energy efficiency.
4. Choose Your Internal Finish: VELUX windows come in a choice of three main interior finishes, white painted to match most ceilings, pine for a more traditional look or white uPVC for high humidity rooms like kitchens and bathrooms or hard-to-reach areas.
5. Manual or Electric? VELUX windows can either be manually operated from the easy-action roof bar or automated via a remote switch. Both mains-powered and solar-powered options are available.
6. Add-on Your Installation Products: In most cases you will need a velux flashing to match your window and roof-type to ensure your window is 100% watertight and weather-proof. VELUX also offer insulation collars and vapour barriers to further improve the energy efficiency of your installation.
7. Control Daylight and Heat: From light dimming blinds to complete blackout blinds, external shutters or awnings, there are a range of light and heat controlling accessories for your velux window.
