Velux Windows

Velux windows are a type of roof window that is designed to be installed within a pitched roof. They are manufactured by the company Velux and are popular for their functionality and versatility in bringing natural light and ventilation into a room.

Why do you need roof windows?

Velux windows are ideal for rooms with limited or no access to external walls, as they bring in natural light where traditional windows cannot be installed. They also provide essential ventilation, allowing fresh air to circulate in enclosed spaces. In attic or loft conversions, Velux windows help create a sense of openness and spaciousness, making the area feel brighter and more comfortable.
